Day 333: Play date with twins

These adorable twin boys, Tyler and Logan, will be a year old this week. We had a play date with them today, and I got to hear their mom's birth story and issues with having them share certain toys. They're sitting on a riding train toy that Zaria brought to their attention, and it's been a major source of contention for Tyler. He's not happy seeing anyone else use the train, so they plan to either get another one or get rid of it.

Day 250: Pink fire patrol

We had a play date at the park today with Jen and Maria. Maria was much more interested in the play equipment than Zaria, but they both enjoyed this fire truck for a while.

Day 229: Playtime

We tried out a fun Urban Toddler play center with the girls. They had a good time going from one play station room to the next--here Zaria and Tricia are playing the piano. We planned indoor activities as it was supposed to rain today, but it didn't start until well after 9 or 10 pm, so we were also able to have a good time playing outside.

Day 185: Playtime

We visited Jen and Maria again today, enjoying some leftover Papa John's pizza. I was having trouble eating much, feeling a little queasy all week actually. But the girls had a good time looking at books and pushing strollers. Especially when Jen realized she had a second stroller and they both went around in circles with them.

Day 130: Mai and Isaac come to play

I didn't make it to FNG this week, and last minute decided to invite Cassie over for dinner and games, who then invited our old friend Sarah and her two kids, Isaac and Mai to come over. So we had a full house! Isaac helped watch the girls a little bit, but Mai and Zaria had fun playing with various musical toys while us grown-up girls played a game of Hoopla. Good food, good fellowship, and a fun game even though we were often distracted. Earlier in the day I took Zaria, Jen and Maria to see the Model Railroad Museum in St. Paul-- today is Jen's birthday! The museum was really cool and kid-friendly, one of those free museum pass places you can check out at the library. Next time I need to remember to bring my camera.

Day 68: Brief play date

We met up with Christine, who was watching Rebecca as well as her son Aidan today at the Maple Grove Community Center play area. They're all part of the Friday Night Group, but we only saw Christine later in the evening. The community center play area's not a great place for a crawler, but Zaria will love it when she starts walking. Rebecca happens to be exactly a year older than Zaria, which is kinda fun.

I'm actually amazed we got all the kids to sit in one spot. Rebecca and Aidan were pretty tough to keep track of. This is what I have to look forward to in a year!
