Hanging Out with our new friend

On Wednesdays, we go to Matt's house for Max to play a little guitar and Alex to play a little drums.

We met Matt when Max went to Circus Camp this past summer. Matt was the music teacher at camp, and Max really liked him. We decided to set up lessons for Max, and then Alex became interested. It's a bit of a drive for us, so we asked Matt and his wife Angela if we could just hang out in the yard while the boys had their lesson. It was no problem, and Angela and Caitlin, their daughter, decided to hang out with us.

Angela and I have a good time hanging out, and we all have been playing with Caitlin. She's 3 years old and absolutely adorable. She loves Alex and always runs up to him first to give him a hug.

Yesterday, she wore her special flower pants because we were coming. Sophie read to her, they all played hide and seek and played on her swing set. Alex is really too big for the swing set, and Caitlin always gets flustered when he gets on it and tells him he's too old. She is the cutest thing! We also played baseball and we all took turns pitching, hitting and catching, until the plastic ball rolled into the road and was run over by a car. Too sad! I told Caitlin about our soccer ball that got run over and the loud noise it made.

After a while, Caitlin was upset that Daddy was inside. She wanted to play with him, but he was still working with Alex. Ella decided to get some of her Littlest Pet Shop stuff from the car to make Caitlin feel better and forget about Daddy being inside. We all sat down and made leaf pools and ponds which Caitlin filled with water.

We had a great time being with Caitlin and her wonderful 3 year old energy. We're really glad life worked out that not only are the boys getting some music, but we all made a new friend!
