Our downstairs neighbor, Jennifer (the Aggie from Texas) did a huge favor for me a couple weeks back and picked Mia up from a birthday party that she otherwise wouldn't have been able to go to. Mia was so grateful that when she got home and Lennon was napping, she decided on her own to write a thank you note for Jennifer and went and slipped it under her door. In the thank you note was a request for Jennifer to join us in a "sleepover party." Aunt Hillary started this tradition with Mia years ago. It has nothing to do with sleeping though. It's really just staying up late, watching a movie and painting our nails. Oh yeah, and usually involves eating some kind of treat that would otherwise be off limits. Jennifer said yes and a week or so later, we had our date. We tried watching Pride and Prejudice, but that was a little boring for Mia so we turned on Hook.
Here they are toasting with their cannoli's from a Brazilian bakery.
Jennifer brought up all kinds of fun girly stuff.
She actually bought this manicure kit just for this evening.
Lennon and Michael have really started playing well together. They both have great imaginations and laugh a lot together. A couple days before they headed out for Disney I took Michael with me and Lennon to Drumlin Farm for a morning of animal viewing and hay rides. The boys had a blast pretending to be on the run from lava and dinosaurs and making animal noises at the lambs, pigs, horses, cows and chickens.
Here they are sharing a peanut butter sandwich that Michael brought. Lennon asked for a bite when Michael was eating the first half. Michael's response, "I saved that other piece just for you." So sweet.
