The Week in Review:

On Sunday we decided to head to Richmond for a change of pace. It was pouring rain when we left, so Ellie got to play with her new brolly. Since we were going to Richmond though, we decided to opt for stylish footwear as opposed to practical footwear!

It never even occured to me that it might snow (not sure why not, given the winter we've had), so imagine my surprise when we drove straight into a blizzard! We soldiered on and by the time we were done in Richmond it was back to our usual rain. Thank goodness!

On Monday, I worked. But on Tuesday spring break began! And so we had our very first playdate. Devin and Jordan (or Gordan, as Davey calls her) came over. And their mummy brought cupcakes! Mnn, we'll ask them over again!

They stayed for lunch, so Tink and Jordan set the table for us.

Meanwhile, Devin tried it on with David. We have a little play room under our stairs and behind a closet. I kept hearing cries of "No! Kissing on the lips means you're married!" and "I'm not ready to get married yet!" Good boy, David! But from the looks of this picture, you don't mind the company of pretty ladies tooooo much ;)

And a shot of all five kids. Tink and Joran are 2.5 months apart and Jade, Devin and David are all a few months apart too. It makes for great play dates.

Yesterday an old school friend and co-worker came over with her three boys. I don't have any pictures of Jacky, Noah, Levi and Mattias, but they were so much fun to have over! Jacky's boys are so well behaved and full of fun (and so incredibly cute!) We had a great time. David was devastated when the boys went home, so we asked Jade and Ashlie to come over. Everyone dived into the dress up clothes.




Since we were all playing dress up anyway, I offered to do makeovers. EVERYONE wanted curlers in (thank goodness I have so many!)

It's impossible to get a nongoofy picture from this one!

hmn. One for the yearbook, I think!

And this one wants to do everything the big kids do.

Then everyone got some makeup on. Some more than others. Elisabeth insists on applying her own. Lovely, isn't she?



We were supposed to have another playdate today, but I've hurt my back somehow and while it doesn't bother me too much during the day, I have a really hard time sleeping. So I'm feeling pretty wasted today and have decided to take it easy. After all, it's back to work tomorrow!
