three tired boys and at least one tired girl!

here are some pictures from today's playdate with sutter and tripp, kendal's friends from his "old" daycare. he (actually we all) had a lot of fun and we are really happy that they came over! kendal and holly both crashed hard after they left, and we had to battle through an hour of whine/cry/scream until naptime! that is ok, though, because we knew the reason they were whining - exhaustion! and if it weren't for me and my darn schedule keeping rule, they both would have hit the sack by noon! though this picture looks like kendal is hitting sutter, really they were playing like bucking horses on the floor (sutter looked like he was breakdancing). they were apart enough that they weren't bumping! kendal is definitely a "monkey see monkey do" kind of boy! sutter and nathaniel and holly playing ball: chase was the game of the day: sutter with a mouth full of cookies (and by the way, sutter is wet because we had just come in from outside, where we played with bubbles and water...): tripp playing with the baseball toy: tripp couldn't get enough to eat! he's 2 months younger than kendal - and about to grow! kendal went through the same thing 2 months ago, starving all the time! (no, really, when ISN'T kendal about to starve? "EAT!" is his favorite verb!) isn't he adorable? again, wet from outside... holly was taking in all the movement! her head didn't sit still for a minute! the three amigos - i took literally 15 pictures when they were on the couch and this is the ONLY one that was decent of the 3 of them in the vicinity of the couch! sutter likes to GO! most of my pictures of him are a blur. i swear he is going to be a sprint runner when he grows up! the very beautiful chiara. she was getting ready to go to a birthday party. she's just the cutest thing, very sweet, and today she was pretty quiet! tripp was laying down getting tickled, kendal wanted some too!
