An Awesome Friday

When you live here or you're hanging out with us... you'll always have fun :). We started our FR with a little tea party in the play room ;). Zoe was getting it all ready and 'fed' Henry her tea and coffee while I was baking bread and cupcakes just because I felt like it :).

Then my neighbors and friends were coming over around 10ish and we had a great get together outside while the kids enjoyed hanging out together. Grace, Henry and Ethan are all the same age...

And Lizzie and Zoe (in the back at the water table) love hanging out together as well.

Zoe is sometimes going out with Daddy before bedtime and they end up hanging out on our front porch... well all of a sudden Zoe was missing and where did she go? To her little spot where she hangs out with Daddy... she knew exactly she wasn't suppose to escape but she loved just hanging out in her chair.

And around lunch time we had our Cheese and Chocolate Fondue on the patio... well who doesn't wanna live around here? We have so much fun together and do these play dates regularly and always have great food. Here we have Sarah to the very left (she has Ethan - 6.5 months old), she lives in the sub division across the main street (only a couple of minute walk) and then Stacey (Lizzie - 1 yr old) who lives in the sub close to the park on the water (for all who were already here and know our sub). Jen (Grace - 7 months old) who lives also at the park and was also my midwife. And then we have our new addition Mary Margaret who just moved in in January I think and she's a fun and great Girl. We actually planned our Neighborhood Party last Sunday together. She and Neal don't have kids yet but plan on having them around the time the other three maybe have their second one ;)... all fits good together and we Ladies just have a GREAT time hanging out every time again.

In the afternoon Silke came over with Janos and her cute twin girls. She's amazing how she's handling them both. I offered her to help but she just mastered it all herself and did an amazing job. Zoe was so happy to see Janos :).

And then at night we had a Date Night as well. I planned a 'couple's night out' in the neighborhood and we had a great turnout of 12 couples. Everybody had a great time and afterwards Stacey and Ali had a get together in their backyard with a fire pit and fun and great times together. Before we left I put both kids down and they slept because I wanted to bring them to bed myself ;)... at 7 we were out of the door and both slept great just Henry woke up at 11 and he was a little shocked to see our baby sitter and not Mommy. But that wasn't a big deal since we were already over at Ali's and I just came home and Frank enjoyed the night a little longer and I went to bed at midnight :). Frank really enjoys the neighborhood. I'm very happy that he finally gets out with them and 'sees' how great it is. With a little help of your 'wife' *lol*... I make things happen... everybody is very glad to have me in the neighborhood. Yesterday Stacey said: 'It's never felt as a community until you came on board'. They don't wanna let me go ever *lol*...
