A playdate in January

warm days in january.

I know it has been unusually warm everywhere, but we were so warm yesterday that the girls put on their bathing suits and wanted to run in the sprinker. We had some of our new friends over. We met them at our first tea party club meeting back in August. Melissa and I hit it off immediately when I told her I had lived in Boone and I realized she knew all about it and wanted to move there. Her 3 girls Micaiah(6), Anna(4) and Alexis(3) play wonderfully with Ellen and Arianna so we have been getting together about once a week for the past few months. So, when we got home and got the trampoline set up the girls were very excited about having their friends over to jump with them. The weather was supposed to be stormy and I'm so thankful that it never actually rained until later in the evening. So we had a wonderful, breezy, warm day filled with outdoor play!


I have been scrapbooking with Melissa on Friday nights. We had planned to get together last night but as I mentioned the storm came through right when I was about to leave and I HATE driving in the rain and didn't want to transport all my pictures and stuff in the rain. So, we canceled it and I went down the street to rent a movie instead. It was my turn to pick the movie and I got a true "chick flick" called Stepin Up. I highly recommend it for any of you who like to watch good dancing. It was like watching that show "so you think you can dance" without the commercials. The plot was predictable and unoriginal but we (even Daniel) thought it was entertaining. I think I might watch it again tonight. :) So if you like movies that have good acting and a good plot, this one might not be for you. But, if you just want to be entertained this one is a good pick.
Did I just write a movie review?!
