capturing them

I had some friends over last eve for a gathering to meet and welcome a friend's baby girl.  This morning the fine china was still out.  As Lily ate breakfast, she asked, "Mommy, did you have a tea pawty with your friends?"  :-)

We had lunch on the front steps today.  Lily said, "After we eat our sandwiches all, we can go to the pool!"

But then we got distracted.  I thought these pictures capture them SO well.  

Oh, my heart.  Oh, the joy, simplicity, and sweetness.

Come run with me, Pete!

Peter is so much more interested in the flying vehicle that he has created.  

I love that about him.  He is so able to imagine.

Seriously, could you just die?!?!?!?

 Where is Peter?

I see you!! 

 We got pool clothes on Peter and then it was another "distraction".

 If you could hear these pictures, you'd hear motorcycle sounds coming from both of them.  

Their dry erase markers were talking, interacting motorcycles with loud engines.  

I enjoyed watching them today.
That was much easier than usual b/c my kind mother in law took them for most of the day yesterday so I could prep and clean for the party.  So everything felt more orderly today and less "busy".

Thanks, Kathy!
