play date and dinner with the Covingtons

On Friday Lydia had Kaitlin, a friend from school, over for a playdate. The after school schedule was a little insane because I also had to get Ammon to and from a voice lesson, pick up some supplies from Petco, return Kaitlin to her house, drop off Lydia at ballroom, pick up Lydia from ballroom (when we realized there was actually no ballroom that night!) and get ready for hosting a dinner with our neighbors and friends, the Covingtons. I decided to cheat there and ordered a ton of Cafe Rio because I could not do it all in two hours.

We enjoy the Covingtons so much, and I love that Ammon and Clarissa get playdates with their kids. I arrange so many for Lydia that the rest of my kids get badly neglected in the play date arena. I need to make some just for Mary, but at least we checked three out of four on Friday!

The girls were inspired by the sunset and grabbed some watercolors to paint it. I was floored by how good their paintings were!
Just look at Lydia’s!!! She told me it’s because she’s been paying attention when her teacher turns on Bob Ross at school to calm the class down.
