Roommate Reunion

This weekend we flew (I know, again on a plane! If only I had a frequent flyer # already) to visit my old Chicago friend Henry (and his mom and dad; Beth & Dave) in Pennsylvania. He moved earlier this year with his mom and dad out of their Chicago apartment and into this great big house with front yard - and a back yard! They also have a basketball hoop, more toys than I've ever seen and a playroom on every floor! That's 3 different play rooms. I think we also went for a reunion - Mom, Beth, Carrie & Bonnie were all college roommates. Carrie and Denny came with Brian, who is almost 2 years old too. They live in Cincinnati so we see them when we go to visit Grandma & Grandpa. Bonnie and Nich live in New York City though, so this was my first time meeting them. Bonnie even taught me a new blinking game, if you blink, I can blink back!

We all had a lot of fun playing and hanging out all weekend long. We even did an arts and craft project, although it did not go over as well as our mom's had hoped. I think they thought us kids would love the idea of dipping our hands in gooey paint and then delicately placing hand prints on paper in the shape of mittens and wreaths. Please! Once I got my hands in that paint I immediately wanted to smear it off of me and that meant wiping it on whatever was around me - my shirt, my leg, my hair, the table, mom, bonnie, whatever. You can see that there is a hand print on that wreath down there, but let's just say I did not do that voluntarily and I doubt mom will be attempting any new craft projects this year.

Anyway, it was a great weekend and I had so much fun playing with Henry & Brian - they're not bad for a bunch of older boys! Thanks for having me Henry! Love you all!
