Friends, friends, and more friends!

Our day began with us having to pick up Stephen from the Kimballs as he had a sleepover from Monday to Tuesday.  Since I knew our day was full I told him that it might be better to do the sleepover another day this week as there were not the same time constraints, but the boys would have none of that.  The sooner the better was the overall feeling.   (I could not get him there until around 3 pm on Monday as I had errands to take care of!

So with me getting delayed here for the pickup time we were very crunched in our schedule.  We had to rush back here as Barb and two of her kids were coming by so that we could have some bonding time together.  I offered up here as I knew it would be very hot and this place has a community pool we can attend.   They were able to get about 2 hours of swimming before it was time for them to make the trek home.  At those hours it is never fun traveling on the roads by the apartment.   

We had just a half hour before we were heading out the door again for a dinner with our friends the Simpsons!  Unfortunately they don't have anyone Stephen's age so I could see him getting ansy.  He did try to play with the young ones but that did not last too long as they were all paired off or all 4 were playing together.  The food and fellowship was great!  We could be their future neighbors has a house about 5 doors down is going on the market in a week or so!  It is a nice place to live as there is a huge park directly across the street that the kids could just go over and play at!  How fabulous would that be?!  We have to wait a little longer to see if it has all the right amenities we are looking for.   

Before we knew it it was 9:25 pm and time to get going as we were sitting outside getting a bit eaten up by the buggies!   Plus we did have some very cranky ornery children as this stage.  (Mine not theirs!)   Sleepovers are fun but they really can mess with the next days plans!

  2. FYI-
    Olivia got about 50 mosquito bites last Thursday and Friday a friend told me about a miracle cure to stop the itching. She was so right! Blistex Lip Medex ointment. It is usually used on lips but it shrinks the swelling of the bites and can be used as often as necessary - unlike Cortizone 10. The Cortizone works well but you are limited to 3 times a day and itching usually reoccurs before you can reapply. Just a hint from a friend that worked wonders for us! Livey is highly allergic and was miserable. Not any more. This is all just in case you are facing the itchies from your buggy night. Sounds like you had fun despitet he bugs!
