Friday Fun Day

Today was a really great day all around. Cooper and Finley came over this morning to hang out and have lunch. Our weather has been so up and down recently, but it was supposed to warm up today, so we planned to eat and play outside. Eli got a little whiny while Cooper was here, but it was mostly because he wanted Coop to be interested in what Eli was, namely guitars and basketball, and Cooper was more into the trains. Once we went outside though, the boys both found a good time with the trucks in the backyard. Maddux and Finley just kinda 'hung out' while the boys entertained themselves: I'm sure these playdates will be much louder and busier when those girls get around to talking!

After naps, Lehr and Eli ran to trade out the rental car and get our "Earl" back (it's finally fixed from the wreck a few weeks back). Maddux and I walked across the street to hang out with some neighbors and wait for the boys. Once they returned, we all ordered pizza and let the kids play. Eli had a great time, especially with one of the older boys who really looked out for him.

Poor Maddux is still experiencing some teeth pain, but with no teeth to show for it. Her cheeks are always red and rashy from her drool, and there is never a moment when a fist or toy is not in her mouth. She is getting dangerously close to crawling: Mad Dog gets up on all fours and tries to 'hop' now.
