Owen & Autumn's Play Day

Owen and Autumn both got to have a friend come over for a play day yesterday morning. Well, Owen got two friends and Autumn got one, but they both had a great time. Owen spent the morning playing with Olivia and Abby and Autumn got to play with Abby's baby brother Issac. Us Mommies were in shock because the older kids didn't have a single sharing issue and zero melt downs the entire morning. The kids played for 2 strait hours and were actually playing together the entire time without fighting, besides Olivia and Owen's wrestling matches. Those are completely normal though, that's their favorite thing to play together.. We were so very proud of them and it sure made an enjoyable morning for us mommies. Autumn got to play with her friend Issac. Issac is 7 weeks younger than Autumn but much bigger, which is not hard to do since Autumn is itty bitty. They are similar in length, but Issac has about 5 pounds on her. They were so adorable together and spent the majority of the time smiling at one another and Autumn enjoyed chewing on the corner of his sweater. Here are some pictures from our their time together.
Seriously A-Dorable!
Autumn was fascinated with Issac and could not stop looking at him with a huge smile on her face. Who knows, may be her first crush.
If you look closely they were holding hands. See what I mean. So cute. I love those chubby little hands.
They were so happy together. They have similar chubby cheeks too!
And here is what the older kids were up to. Yes, running around burning off their endless supply on energy! They are exhausting to watch. I guess I am just envious of the energy and motivation of two year old.
Being silly and making messes. Since they were playing so well, play day went longer than normal so I decided to make the kids some lunch. Here they are eating their White Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with a side of Clementines while watching a new cartoon on nickelodeon called Bubble Guppies. Its Owen's new favorite show by far!
Best of Friends. These three had a blast together and are so adorable! Its hard to believe the very first play day I ever had at my house Owen and Abby were 9 months old and Olivia was 3 months old. We started out calling Play Days "Mommy group" because it was more to get the mommies together to have some adult conversations, but now it is just "Play Day" because it is all about the kids and we are lucky if we get in a few sentences to one another. Lol. They have grown up so much and have turned into 3 little individual people with their very own personalities. I can't wait to see what this picture looks like in 2 more years.
