BFF Playdate

Kapri & I had the pleasure of having her friend/school-mate over for the entire day last Friday. As school was closed both on the 4th & 5th, I had taken the 5th off & offered to have Chloe over for a super fun playdate.

We started the morning with some banana/coconut bread & a movie on our famous 'couch bed' assembled on the floor. Then the girls played both upstairs & down....dress up, dolls, puzzles...you name it!

Then as the sun decided to come out we got in our bathing suits & walked over to our pool - which we had all to ourselves most of the time!

As we walked back home, the girls found flowers to pick to make a special 'mommy bouquet'...too cute. I was the 'picker' and they were the 'holders'.

Then we changed & took another walk down to 7-Eleven for a special afternoon treat to cool off... yay for popsicles!! I know come prepared for such walks... my fab plastic-lined burlap bag to hold a small produce bag (for trash after), my money, phone, and TONS of napkins & wet-wipes! We showed Chloe our 'popsicle tree', that K & I like to sit under while we indulge....it's the best little shaded spot. Thank GOODNESS for napkins...I used every. single. one.  Those popsicles were melting SO fast, dripping down little fingers, hands & arms... down to knees, shins & toes... loved their adorable strawberry-bar covered faces afterward! Ahh summer fun.

Then we walked home & took turns racing up & down the sidewalks & green belts....getting out all the sugar-fuel....hoping that'd help with each of them falling fast asleep later that night!

Finally we started our "Pizza Friday", with dough & ingredients from our fav - Trader Joe's...along with my delish homemade almond pesto! As we were finishing up, Chloe's mamma arrived & we all had our homemade dinner together. LOVE these kind of days!!! And could these girls be any cuter?? Such fun!
