In commemoration

Allie had a friend over for her very first sleepover (with Allie as a hostess). We picked up her friend Hannah last night about 5:30, went to Tony Roma's for dinner, then headed to an amazing playground (I've written about it before). We came home, the girls started to watch a movie and eat popcorn, then they decided instead to play on Allie's computer and torture our cats.

They had the requisite pillow fight and settled down to sleep about 10:30. This morning, we made Belgian waffles and bacon (Hannah really, really likes bacon) and then the girls played for awhile in Allie's Daddy's new hammock. I still haven't gotten to sit in the hammock, by the way, but I'm not bitter. Not at all. Then they played in two different sprinklers in the front yard and shot each other with water guns. They came in and played in Allie's room again, tortured the cats some more, then watched some TV.

After lunch, we made plastic bead animals (hard to describe, except that after you assemble them on a board, you iron them to make them into one piece). Hannah's mom came to pick her up at 2, and their playdate was over. Allie loved it and Hannah was very nice. I have a feeling this little event will be repeated many, many times over the next few years of her life. And that's a very cool thing.
