Busy Bees

We had such a fun, busy weekend! Friday night, Matt and I had a fundraising party at Christ Church (the girl's school) and it was so much fun! The only thing we "won" was the Teacher Tuck-In, which means that their amazing teacher, Ms.Janet is going to come to our house and read them their bedtime story and tuck them in to bed. When we told the girls on Saturday morning they were out of control excited about it. We can't wait to schedule it with her...you'll DEFINITELY be seeing it on here some time in the future. So cute.
Saturday we took the girls to a birthday party they'd been invited to for their friends (also twins), Luke and Kinsey who turned 3! It was a pirate themed party and was just awesome. The girls had a ball. The most amazing thing about it was they'd rented a bouncy house. For the first half of the party, both girls were afraid/nervous to go in to it. But Riley must have said about 50 times that she really, really wanted to go in and finally I asked her if I went in with her, if she'd do it and she said yes. Of course. So...I had to climb into the bouncy house with all of the other kids. But it was SO worth it. Reagan climbed in soon after and they had more fun than they've had in forever...not even kidding. They both cried when they had to come out and on the way home from the party all they kept asking about was if they could go back to Luke and Kinsey's to jump. Ha! They loved it. I know they'll have many, many more opportunities to play in bouncy houses, as they seem to be all the rage at birthday parties these days....

Then today we were invited to our friends Holly and Jeff's house (their sons Jack and Luke go to school with the girls...Jack is Reagan's "very, very special friend"). They live a block from the beach in Neptune Beach and the Donna Half Marathon/Marathon was happening today so they had a bunch of people over to cheer for the runners since it ran right past their house. It was a blast...the kids just ran around and played and occasionally came out to the balcony to scream at the runners, and the grownups drank mimosas while watching the runners struggle by at mile 18....ha! My kind of race!
Such a great weekend and we're all just so happy that we have made such fun friends here in Jacksonville!
