Cutest Playdate Ever
Today, Jack and I went over to my friend Jill's house for lunch and a playdate with her daughter, Maddie, who was also born in July 2007. We had a blast!
First of all, the whole time I was in Jill's beautiful home, I was taking mental notes on how to decorate and organize our stuff when we finally get a house next year. Let's just say that although I thought our apartment was relatively free of clutter for being home to a toddler, Jill's house is extremely neat and yet cozy and fun. I'm not sure how she does it, but I think she should start charging money to teach people how to accomplish this.
Jill made delicious paninis for us, and mac and cheese for the kids. After lunch, Jack and Maddie played together adorably, pushing each other affectionately, giggling and making lots of noise. Maddie generously shared her toys.
And, OK, this is amazing: When Jill tells Maddie to show us her happy face, Maddie does this on command!
Uh, I just told Jack to give me his happy face, and he stuck out his tongue at me and spit out his mouthful of dinner. See, I'm telling you, girls are smarter from the start. Ha.
So this was a great start to the weekend. Tomorrow, Johnny and I are leaving Jack with our occasional sitter, Susy, in the afternoon. We're going to meet my mom, June and Charles for dinner at the Boiling Crab, where, you guessed it, we will be gorging on crab. Then it's on to the So You Think You Can Dance tour performance at the Honda Center! I am beyond excited. Sunday, my aunt's taking all of us to tea at the Huntington Library gardens. It's all part of my 28th birthday celebration (I turn 28 on September 30). Yay!

I'm so jealous that you get to go to the SYTYCD performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREEN WITH ENVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cute. I love playdates. I wish we were closer so we could get our kids together. Not that Tierney would be as good at playing as Jack is yet, but at least you and I would have fun!
love that, too. I would love to meet you and adorable Tierney! I'm sure she would have fun watching Jack, and Jack would enjoy attempting to poke at her face.
Awww, how cute! I'm glad you and Jack had a good time at your friend's house. Thats good he has a friend the same age as him!
Oh and I want to see the So You Think You Can Dance Tour- I love that show!! Have fun!
ryc; Yes, I almost died when Jim proposed to Pam..soooo sweet!! Yeah it seemed so realistic-ha!
) And I've heard of that diet, but never tried it..it sounds gross! That was so funny when the girl fainted. I love that show! And Phyllis cracks me up! So funny.
ryc: You're so funny! Ok, I'll fly out to Cali and clean your kitchen for ya anyday! Yes, I agree w/ you, the N. Sparks books are SO sad! I read the Nights in R. book years ago, but could not remember the ending for the life of me..so yeah, it was sad. Thats the only thing that bothers me about his books. He needs some "Happily Ever After" endings.
So adorable! I like the sequence of pictures-it's almost like watching a movie about Maddie and Jack!
How was tea at the Huntington Library Gardens? I've been to the gardens before (I love the roses!), but never for tea!
Jack's response to the happy face is so classic boy - that seriously cracked me up. Maddie is a doll! I'm amazed at Moms that can manage keeping their homes so tidy and cozy. Some people just have the knack!
Bev: that is so adorable seeing the to of the interact. I also love the pro pics.....both the family one....perfect for a greeting card too. You look fab.....take care hope to hear from you soon.
