Baby it's hot outside....

This morning I hosted a play date.  We all put the suits on our kids and they splashed in the pool and did a couple runs down the water slide and then we munched on my friend Robyn's yummy homemade bran muffins ( no they were not dry, they were awesome, I know, I was worried also) and had some fresh fruit and cold drinks ( was 9:30 too early for cocktails? j/k...... ok but it DID cross my mind. ) Anyway,  it was nice to have some adult conversation ( between getting food for the kids, slathering on sunscreen,  putting them in and out of the pool, reminding them that we share toys and not push and shove ( Abby was the main culprit here)  My friend Lisa also came with her darling little daughter ( Lisa used to cut my hair at a salon in Iowa City but recently left to stay home with her daughter and is pregnant with her 2nd child)  Robyn brought her 2 sweet little guys also.  Robyn and Lisa are actually sisters. I had sort of known Robyn from MOPS a few years ago and when I was going to Lisa to get my hair cut found out what a small world it really was when I learned they were sisters. I want to post a pic of these two ladies, but I promised I wouldn't post pics without them liking how they looked before posting ( I am the same way)  these two gals are young and gorgeous. I am the grandma of the group..well actually I think I am a few years away from being their Mom ha ha- but they are fun.  Anyway...... I wish I had a huge back yard to host ALL my friends together at the same time for play dates. I have to split it up and have a few Moms at a time or I feel so crammed. I love to host...I just wish I had more room. 

So anyway, here's a darling photo of Abby and her new friend Lyla and one of Robyn's boy Ezra.... ( I hope I got the names right and the spelling if you see this Robyn) many a time I put the wring name with the wrong kid..... I am horrible at remembering names of the kids...why is that? Do you have that prob too? My friend Tara has 4 kids and I have known her like 3 years and I STILL call them the wrong name. 


Hope you all are having a great day and staying cool.
