We had a great afternoon.....the kind of day that I absolutely love where we are all playing and having so much fun together. It started out great because it was a half day at school. We headed right over to the park for a picnic and playtime with friends. The kids loved it! They were having so much fun together, and spent hours running around, deep into their imaginary game. By the time we headed home, we were all pretty exhausted from all our fun, but we quickly got a second wind. Daddy surprised the kids with a new basketball hoop, which they went crazy for! Perhaps even better than the hoop, was the giant box the hoop came in. Lizzy, Caroline, and Peter used the box to create a playhouse, and then we used scraps from the box to create beds for Lizzy and Caroline's American Girl dolls. We held nothing back. We brought out the paint, and glitter, and jewels. We raided our extra felt for blankets and pillows, and before long, we had two elegant beds on our hands. We finished up the day with a pizza party and watching a movie- so fun! After dinner, all the girls were playing with their dolls. Catherine got out her doll, made a little bed for her out of a blanket, and joined right in the fun. I absolutely love to watch Catherine in the mix of things, and I love how inclusive and loving the big girls are with her. What a wonderful day together!
