Final playdates with our friends

This past week our house has been a total wreck. Too busy to clean. I figured it didn't matter since it's more important to us to spend time with our friends, than a super clean house. I wonder if Arden is going to grow up believing life is just a big party, with different themes and names to each party. On the picture above, it was a play date on Wednesday afternoon, we called it a Popscicle party...since they ate popcicles. May be we could have also called it pee in the kiddie pool party, since Arden decided to expose himself and pee in the kiddie pool while the kids were playing in it. The playing ended quickly. I was a bit embarrassed. But children are children.
Doesn't Mayita look so big sitting in that chair all by herself? She's growing so fast.

Okay, so you may wonder what is that? It's a gopher. They live anywhere there's grass. It's hard to spot them out, even though their holes are all over the playground. This little guy was hungry and actually came out while we were talking. I guess I'm going to miss those guys too.

Thursday morning, we had another little play date. It was with Arden's two favorite girls, Ellie and Lydia. They love swinning on the rope. This little guy is very confident of himself (or doesn't know those are very girly wings)...those are not fairy wings...those are mariposa wings...one of his favorite insects.
