Girlfriends

Our Thursday play date has become a wonderful and important part of our week. As Dawn and I have become good friends, so have our daughters. At first thrown together by us, they now look forward to seeing each other and call out the other's name. It's so sweet to see them interact and hold hands and have fun together. Brianna will light up when Ruby comes in and yell "Ruby! Ruby!" And Ruby will often grab her hand and hug and kiss her unprompted. It's the sweetest thing!

Last week it was too hot and sticky to hit the park after music class so Dawn had the brilliant idea of going for mani's and pedi's after lunch. The girls LOVED it and I must say we mom's sure did, too! Ruby & Brie sat still for the longest time and had a ball. Both chose shades of pink and got a flower design - Brie on her nails and Ruby on her big toes. Boy, were they ever proud! Both have been showing everyone they know (and don't know) their newly painted fingers and toes all week. What a fun mother/daughter/girlfriend thing to do!
Wish I got a better picture of it, but we've been running ever since. This is a shot RUBY actually shot of her toes the next day. 
Monday we did a picnic in the park and then got a little exercise for the momma's and stroller ride for the cutie pies. Both were angels and their patience paid off with a trip the swings and slides at the end. Another great outing!
I love how Ruby is playing with Brianna's hair here and she isn't minding it one bit. They are really comfortable together.
I was just about to put the camera down but they were still sitting like that together so I just had to take one more. How lucky we are to have these sweet girls in our lives and how great to make such good friends! Life is good!
