Liv's first sleep over

Tonight is Liv's first sleep over. Yep, on a school night. Her best friend Lucy is staying with us. Lucy's brother H is a hockey stud and has hockey practice from 7-8 which would make them late for school. Lucy did not want to miss a second of school, so her mom asked if Lucy could come over at 6am. We then decided thta it was high time for a sleep over. Lucy could sleep in instead of getting up at 5:15 to get here by 6am. Liv and Lucy have been fast friends since they were 2. Hard to believe that they will both be 6 next month. We are lucky that lucy and her parents are moving into our neighborhood shortly!

Paddleboarding- Summer 2011

Just a few photos of our first time paddle boarding this summer. All four of us are hooked on it! Jason and I are planning on buying a paddle board and maybe a kayak next year.

Fall soccer photos

We were very proud of both girls this fall. Georgie played on her first all girls team. Livi played on the team she played on in the spring. It was great fun to watch Livi's team come together and learn how to play together.

Date night

Last night, each kid had a date night with a parent. Jason got Georgie and I got Livi. Georgie got Jason because she has an hour+ a day with mom. Livi just needed some mommy time.

Initially, Georgie woke up from her nap and just wanted to watch the UNC vs. Michigan State game with daddy. Then she suggested they order Chinese food. Too funny. Jason ended up taking her to Lonestar steakhouse for a steak, which was her second suggestion.

Livi and I went to Denny's for dinner, her choice. She was the first person to try the sugar cookie pancakes on their new holiday menu. Typical Liv, we were there for well-over an hour. That girl is so European with her meals. She really takes her time and enjoys what she's eating. Sometimes it gets frustrating, but we encourage her to not feel rushed and enjoy her meals. After dinner, my girl and I headed over to Old Navy for some shopping. Liv really enjoys shopping and can browse for hours. Really. She can browse for hours. She ended up with a new fleece outfit. Poor girl did not find one dress that she liked. After Old Navy we headed over to Barnes & Noble where we ended up with one book. Finally, our night ended up with dessert at Whole Foods. Poor girl was so tired as it was after 9pm.

At this moment, we are watching our beloved Huskers play Penn State. I am off to show property in a few hours. Wish me well!
