Week in the Life - FRIDAY!

It's Friday! More often than not, this means it's a MOPS day over here. We do two MOPS groups. One is a conventional group and the other is military. They meet on alternate Fridays. This morning was a military day. We meet at Ft Mac.


Our wonderful mentor mom did a great job setting the table!


After MOPS, we went and picked Madilyn up early from school. Grace had been up for about 5 hours at this point, and that seems to be her "max" before she just can't take it anymore and needs a nap. She shouted to me from the back that she needed her "kiki". I knew she'd be out soon. No more than 30 seconds later and I heard her snoring. She transferred to her crib and slept (yep, you guessed it, almost another 4 hours)!


While Grace napped, Madi was hard at work. She finished licking the envelopes for the rest of our Christmas cards. 


And then she put away the silverware.

We also had a nice playdate! I love having wonderful neighbors. This is our neighbor Lydia. Her mom Ann took the baby monitor from me so she could "watch" Grace sleep while I took the girls for a walk to the grocery store. Lydia was just 4 months when we moved here. They're great friends!



After Lydia left, our sitter Gracie came over to watch the girls. DATE NIGHT!!!! Tonight we tried out Mama D's with our friends Becky and Charlie in Manhattan Beach.

The food was great and the friendships even better!


They even brought us fresh cookies after our meals. 


But, we couldn't just stop there. Across the street was a really yummy ice cream shop. We all had some awesome ice ream cookie sandwiches. 

And to finish out the night, we took the scenic route home and looked at Christmas lights. What a great day!
