Logan has a friend from school named Landon. He and Landon are like brothers! They are inseparable! They have been in the same class together since Logan was 8 months old. They are great buddies! And have a love/hate relationship at times. I also work with Landon's Mom, Angie.
We have ended up doing a Friday night playdate tradition. It started out with just the 2 boys and has grown to include 2 other boys from school, Zachary and Jackson, and their parents. The more the merrier! It's a great way to let the boys enjoy each other, play their little hearts out, jump in the tub after getting extremely hot/sweaty/dirty, and wind them down for bed. It's a lot of work but it's fun! It's also fun hanging out with other parents and having some adult time as well.
Last Friday night we all had dinner. Zach's Mom, Lindsey, made Swedish Meatballs (yum), rice, and green beans. Jackson's Mom, Alexis, brought salad. I brought a big bowl of delicious fruit (Thanks Publix) and ice cream sandwiches. We gotta eat and we did it right! We usually get together at Ms. Angie's house. She also had a 3 month old, Macie, and it's easier for them to just host the event. They are not cooks so everyone else just worries about providing good eats!
Angie found a $2 Slip-N-Slide at Target. When I pulled up and saw that thing in the yard I got a little nervous. It was sloping down the pretty big hill in the front yard. I kept thinking that when they play one of them is gonna end up in the street. It looked pretty scary. I didn't realize there is a little catch pool at the end. So it actually stops them. Plus, it's not like it was right at the street.
The boys had an awesome time! They kept going and going and going. They must have been out there for a good hour. Mr. Mike, Landon's dad, took the hose and sprayed the water as the boys went down. It made them FLY and it worked loads better. Even Mr. Mike took a turn, clothes and all! Needless to say it didn't work too well. I think the heavier you are the less it works.
I tried to get as many good pictures as I could. It's hard when you have 4 2 and 3 year olds moving at lightning speed. They weren't paying a bit of attention to the camera. They were just having a blast and worring about how fast they could get back up the hill and go again. I am happy to report no broken bokes, bruises, or concussions!
We love our Fun Filled Friday nights!
