Buddy Day

Every day is Buddy Day in our house, but today was even more so. We started our day with a trip to Georgetown to join our friends for a play date. They played with trains (imagine that!), made a cute Easter egg craft, and ate snacks just like Daddy does (while hovering over the kitchen counter). Their friends had a learning tower, a cool contraption that allows toddlers to stand at counter-level to "help" mommy cook. I'm not sure that we're ready for one of these at our house (there is a reason toddlers are short!), but they sure thought it was fun to stand so tall.

Then, the sun came out late this afternoon after weeks and weeks of rain. I decided to rake the leaves in our backyard and the buddies helped me load my piles into bags. When they grew bored of that, they decided to have their first swim of the season. Since it was an impromptu decision, so they swam sans-swimsuits. We'll have to remember to clean up our act before we hit the public pools this summer.
