Visit from the girls

There is nothing that can compare to a long weekend spent with your best friend and your sister.  I cherish the long nights we stayed up talking and laughing long after the kiddos went to sleep.  Laughing over childhood memories that no one else would understand. And, watching our children play, laugh and fight with each other.  We had a great time no matter what it was we were doing.

Like the morning that the kids decided it would be a good idea to ride down the stairs in a box.

No need to worry.....they put couch cushions on the bottom of the stairs to help with the head injuries.

 

And, it was great fun until the babies decided to join the big kids....and that was when Megan and I both agreed to take all boxes away from the older children.

 And, so the babies decided to climb into a laundry basket together and pretend it was a boat.  This was a much safer game.

 

Until Addie fell out....good thing she is really tough.   Look at that smile.

But, our most favorite thing to do was to "paint nails".  It was the highlight of our weekend.  Everyone got a manicure and a pedicure!

When our time was over....it was hard to say goodbye.  But, I can always look at this picture and just smile.  These are the two cutest babies in the whole world.  I just love it.
