First Sleepover in the New House

Madelyn has been wanting a sleepover, oh, pretty much since we told her we were moving! So once we felt settled enough we told her it was okay. And she picked none other than her BFF, Isabelle, who she sweetly refers to as Izzy (with Isabelle's permission, of course).

Isabelle came over after dance on Thursday night, and we all got comfy and watched a movie.

In the morning, Madelyn was a little surprised that she still had to practice her piano, but she was a good sport, and even showed Isabelle how it's done. ;)

Playing piano can really make you hungry, so we decided to make homemade bagels! The girls had a great time making them, and an even better time eating them!

My good friend Julie recently gave me some flavored Peeps to have Madelyn to try. (I was definitely jealous because I LOVE Peeps myself, but am trying to be good.) The flavors sounded so interesting: lemonade, birthday cake, bubble gum, bleu raspberry, and watermelon.

The girls decided to have a little taste test to see which ones they liked the best.

Madelyn made a list of all the flavors and then we cut each Peep in two pieces so they could both try each flavor. They rated them according to their preference.

 Madelyn's favorite was bubble gum and Isabelle's favorite was blue raspberry.

Then it was time to hang out by the pool. The water is still really cold (72 degrees of freezing coldness)!

They stuck their feet in, but it didn't take long for them to be begging to get in the water. And since you're only a kid once, Chris and I said they could do it.

It didn't last terribly long, but they had so much fun!

To round out the day, they had a little "tea" party for lunch!

We can't wait to have Isabelle back again soon!
