We had a blast having lunch, face painting, snow cones and playing at the park with all our buddies at the end of year party for junior PTA!

Payton and Rose were enjoying a pre-lunch snack… it was super windy today, but other than that, the weather was perfect!

Here’s Anna Kate with her butterfly face painting!

The Pond girls wanted to check out the beach at the lake!

 

Aww, my sparkly butterfly!

 

Chickfila catered lunch!  Rose got her face painted… I’m not sure why she did that black vine for her to smear under her chin, but Rose was happy, so I wasn’t about to wipe it off, lol!

See what I mean!?!  H.A.P.P.Y.

 

After lunch and exploring the lake, it was snow cone time!

And then we caught up with the group at the park… of course mine are running in opposite directions!!!

 

This was Rose discovering the tunnel and then crawling into it… she was having a blast!

 

Play grounds are so good for Rose right now because she is in to everything… so with no limits, she can just discover whatever she wants and no one is saying, “No, don’t open that cabinet…” or “Don’t go tear up everything in sissy’s room while she’s at school!”  We can just PLAY!  Wish I had the energy to take this one somewhere every single day!

 

I love their different personalities!  I knew exactly where Anna Kate would be because she generally stays in the same spots at parks.  She’s not our runner… never has been.  She started up this obstacle ladder, and was like, “No way!  Forget it!”  Then Rose saw her getting down, and sprinted to the top!  I was just cracking up.  I love them so much!!!  I think I’m more like Anna Kate, but I admire Rose for her fearlessness, not as her mother (good grief), but as her friend!
