Friday we got to spend the day with friends! Both Luis and Rebecca were in math conferences, so Claudia and Chiara came to play with Xaris and I all day long.
The day's events included:
Pulling ALL the toys out of the baby's room
(but not playing with them)
Grilled cheese sandwiches and grapes for lunch
(while watching a movie!)
Playtime at the Arboretum while waiting for Tio
(Ricardo) to get done with work
Back home: Coloring and painting pictures for mama
(and Xaris did one for Gramama)
Chicken nuggets, apples and carrots for dinner
(with another movie!)
Way too fun!
But I was exhausted because the previous night Xaris slept very little
(which means I was cranky all night and tired all day).
Normally she sleeps great, she has been fairly consistent from day one...but we have had a couple of rough nights here and there and unfortunately this was one such occasion.
They were angels and had so much fun with Xaris. She was a little overwhelmed at first--while they were very gentle and sweet, she was still startled by so many hands near her little face.
I don't blame them though--her cheeks are irresistible!
Cute girls in a pumpkin patch!
Picking out their pumpkins.
We ended up getting different ones. They had to carry them, and they thought the little baby pumpkins were cute, so we chose those ones instead.
Xaris watching the big girls, jealous of their mobility skills and thinking she could just jump down and run with them.
