Monday night, after dinner we piled the kids into the car for a family date night. First we ordered sno-cones, much to the delight of our little girls. They both wanted purple, argues about who should the get the purple, and finally agreed to get one purple and one pink and share. I ordered raspberry for Lovely, which she proceeded to dribbled down her shirt and deeply stained her lips until they were dark blue. We took our sno-cones to the park for the girls to run and play tag and burn off some energy. My favorite part was watching Lovely share with Daddy to a chorus of "bite-a bite-a bite-a?!" Each time she wanted a spoonful. And then as an unexpected end to the evening, we stopped at a friend's house to help celebrate the birthday of Ladybug's best friend. It was just us and them, we made a little cake, played with toys and opened presents.
On an unrelated note, this followed a fun weekend. On Saturday we did some early morning yard sale shopping, finding some great new toys for the kids and princesses costumes to play dress up. We spent that evening with friends on the lake. It was the girls' first time on a speed boat! We drove the boat out into the lake and then stopped for the girls to play. Needing no encouragement, (and almost without warning), Butterfly jumped in the water. Daddy followed so she wasn't alone and had little Ladybug jump to him. Lovely plunged right in as well and all the kids splashed and played close to the boat for awhile. Soon the girls were taking turns on gentle tubing rides and giggling while screaming their heads off.
On Sunday, we had a long lazy morning and then attended church in our soon-to-be new ward. We met so many great people and the girls had a great time. So looking forward to our new home!
