weekend

Sydney's had quite a weekend! Friday night she went to our neighbor Emily's house for her 6th birthday party and didn't get home until 9:30, haha. Emily's mom Wendy is the one who watched Sydney for me when I was working part time. So Sydney and Emily played every day then even though Sydney was pretty small at the time. Emily's I guess a year and a few months older than her, but they love to play together. She's in first grade now so they play in the evenings or when Emily is in tracked out (year round school).

Our newest neighbor Debbie's brother's family is moving down from Boston so they have been staying with her for a few days until their apartment is ready. Debbie has a 5 year old neice and she had told her about Sydney. So after lunch yesterday they invited her over to play. We left for the football game about 3:30 and mom and dad said that Sydney didn't come until about 5:30! Emily had been looking for Sydney to play again so after supper she played over here until 8 when Sydney and Mollie HAD to get a bath and go to bed after all the excitement!

Today Debbie called back and said that her neice wanted to play with Sydney again so she's over there now:) I think Christina will come play over here after dinner for a little while. And then the napper Mollie will get to share in some of the excitement. Wow! Sydney's never been so popular, but she's loving it! And it's weird sending her to play without me, but I'm loving that too!

Last night kind of stunk because it rained so hard during the football game and they got stomped by the University of S. Florida. My friend Billy from high school came up for the game and he and his friend Jeremy came with us. We gave him tickets last year and this year. He works at Disney and is getting our whole family in free all week when we are there in January! So we owe him big! Plus he's just awesome and fun to hang out with, great to see him again!

Nancy and Travis brought Chase over and we all rode together while Gramma and Grandpa had all the kids. So then we all got to ride together and use one of our spots for tailgating, much more room. Nancy and Travis spent the night since we got home so late. 7:30 games are fun, but tiring! We left when the pouring started and went back to the parking lot under our EZ-up tent to stay dry and listened to the crappy game.

So today we had a cookout for lunch since they were here and Phil's brother David was in town with his family. They have the 4 seats in front of us, but this is the first game they all came to this season. The girls didn't get to see their cousins Olivia and Emma yesterday so we hung out for a while before they had to go back home. And we talked a lot about our Disney trip in January. We are all going together and it is going to be so fun! Sydney and Mollie will be interested in some other things that Olivia and Emma might not care about and vice versa so we won't spend the whole time together, but we're in the same hotel and will do most meals together. I'm so excited!

This is random, but I just loaded some pics from the ECU football game a few weeks ago and look at this super cute picture of Mollie in her princess glasses:
