The Afghani internet cooperated for awhile this morning so the girls got to play their favorite game with mommy. Thanks to the built in software on our computers, the girls and mommy can take turns putting virtual faces and hats and hairstyles and facial hair on each other...Juneau and Nova could sit and do this for hours.
We had plans to host a little cookout this evening so we spent the day cleaning the house (which badly needed it) and organizing all of the girls toys (which needed it even more badly).
The girls were excited all day knowing that after nap, Julian was coming over and I could barely hold them off long enough until finally Julian came to the door. Juneau immediately ran up and gave him a big hug and even though Julian's mommy and daddy are our very good friends, we hadn't gotten together for quite some time so Julian wasn't to sure about this crazy girl coming to smother him before he could even get through the door.But, it wasn't long before they were all off and running.
Bret grilled up some great Huli-Huli chicken and we had a nice dinner with Becca, Brad, Becca's parents and Bret.
Becca may kill me for posting this picture but of course, here is pregnant Becca eating for 2 :)
The girls loved sharing their new table with Julian
while having a scary face contest.
Nova was Brad's buddy and wanted to hop right up on his lap and cuddle.
Since Julian hadn't been here for awhile, he still wanted a "spot" to get up in the castle. After Julian's daddy stood at the bottom of the ladder while he climbed up, Nova came over and told made me get up out of my chair and stand at the bottom of the ladder while she climbed the ladder (even though she has done it a million times without caring if I'm there or not)
When it is time to say good night, Nova is always ready for a big hug (hard to believe tiny Nova is actually 3 weeks older than Julian).
Juneau's birthday buddy: "Julian's mommy has the same birthday as me"
Not sure what Becca is doing here...I never really know what she's doing.
"Smell my foot"
I had been telling the girls for the last few days that on Saturday we would have a slumber party so tonight the 3 of us are set up on the couch watching Shrek even though it is WAY past Juneau and Nova's bedtime (and daddy's too).
I think we'll have to start doing slumber party more often in the next 48 days since I won't really get much of a chance to do this starting next fall so I'll savor the opportunities while they're here. :)
