And your friends are my friends...

So, we drove out to Great Lakes Crossing today to meet with one of "mommy's" friends, Jacie, who happens to have two little boys, Jaden, 4 1/2 and Alec, 1 1/2. I love that at this age, whatever kids we see Matt and Kayla happily play with them. By the end of the trip, the three little one's were goofing around and laughing together- having the time of their lives.

We hung out in the kids area for quite a long time, although I had to hold Matt a lot of the time (he doesn't like being in huge groups of kids). Regardless, I was able to catch up with Jacie, and have some adult conversation-- which actually does wonders for the rest of my week with the kids. After playing, we got lunch then went into a few stores. A little bit of a crazy thing to do, but I still managed to pick out a pair of jeans for matt (for the end of summer/fall) and a new baseball hat (many of his are now too small). The day went so well, that we're going to try to get together at least once a month.

Well, the kids are currently napping (both were asleep before we left the parking lot) and I'm hoping to be able to accomplish some things before daddy gets home this evening.
