We did it! Julie, Rachel, Heidi and I said we were going to have a girls' weekend at a time share in CDA and we finally did--the weekend before Thanksgiving! What a fun time! We ended up leaving the bigger kids at home with dads and we took with us the little tykes who are still dependent on moms. You should've seen the GEAR we took to take care of 4 women and 3 babies! Julie has a great picture of a stuffed elevator that I may post later... :) These first few pictures we took when we went shopping for the afternoon in downtown CDA. We got the funniest comments from on-lookers. My favorite was, "Hey--it's the Baby Club!" (I love how Josh and Kai are checking each other out in this picture!)
Joshy and Auntie Julz
Pooped out Lydia! Look at all of her HAIR and those gorgeous EYELASHES! This girl is so sweet! She entertained us with her early love for books (hmmm...who's her mother?) and her "clip-clop" horse noises.
Kai Guy and Heidi--this little guy is a MOVER! He is so close to crawling and is so determined to get things. My favorite thing about Kai is that when he gets excited he grunts while all four limbs are moving. Wait until you see him in the pool!
Playtime. I told you we brought a lot of gear...
Auntie Julz was in her heaven with THREE BABIES to love. Kai couldn't stay awake a minute longer in her arms.
Sweet Lydia getting her hair done. A perfect hair chair. :)
Good thing she couldn't turn on the faucet yet.
After our afternoon of shopping we took the little sprouts to the pool. They LOVED it.
Joshy kicking away with Auntie Rachel
Look at Kai go! He was a little fish.
Lydia is so good at blowing kisses. Here she was trying to use Heidi's hand to blow one.
And even though the pictures only show BABIES, there was a lot more to our weekend...ChocoVine, calendar scrapbooking, peppermint chocolate kisses, exploring great shops in CDA, starting movies but then letting them sit on pause because we started talking and didn't stop, going to bed at midnight and then regretting it when the kids woke up at six...We had such a great time. We left already planning for next year...imagining the fun we may have when we're kid-less!
