Playdates at our house

Yesterday we had Jessica, Georgia, Brody, Ari and Darren over for a playdate! Sydney did pretty well at sharing her toys, which is always a good thing. The weather didn't cooperate so well, it wasn't raining but it was a bit chilly so no pool. The kids had a great time anyway though. Ari is so adorable, she is such a little princess,totally Sydney in two years. What I love most is the way she "poses" for pictures...check out Georgia's blog. I call her Miss Teen USA...she is so doing pageants as a teenager!
The boys did great and are so well behaved, and so cute! Here are some pictures:

The girls-Ari with her mommy Georgia and Sydney
Darren had the best time with the horse, it was hilarious!
Jumping on the pillows...pretty sure Mam-o thought she was making these for us to sit on, not jump on. They do make great trampolines though! Brody-is he not the cutest???
Sydney with her Jessica. Poor Sydney, she is used to Jessica not leaving her side the entire time so after five minutes when she didn't get cuddles and attention from Jess she started crying...until Jessica held her. So maybe Jessica and Greg spoil the girl a tad....

Today my friend Carli and her daughter Gracie came to our house to play! I have never heard more, "That's mine" and fighting over toys before. Apparently they are too much alike and had some power struggles. They did have a good time and Sydney told me later that Gracie was very nice.

This is my favorite picture of the girls-Gracie would not sit next to Sydney on the stairs and Sydney would not sit next to Gracie on the bench. So here you go...I have a feeling these girls are going to grow up to be very strong willed...you think?
I finally bribed the kids with animal crackers...how cute are they?
