Swapping

My friend Ashley and I both go grocery shopping on Mondays. She agreed to try swapping kids with me on Mondays so we could each do our grocery shopping alone and have a little time after to do WHATEVER WE WANT.
It is heavenly to be alone for a few hours in the middle of the day during the week. And then we get to play with Ashley's kids (Megan and Maddy). The Megans are only 3 months apart in age and boy are they BUSY girls--they can be a little crazy. But, they get along pretty well for 2 year olds and love to play together. Maddy (13 months) and Brooke are cut from similar easy-going molds and have fun watching the older girls run around.
Here are some shots from a few weeks ago. So to all of you other stay-at-homers out there--find a swapping friend--it's a party.

Only 3 months apart huh? look at the hair difference! Crazy.

Cuties on the swing. I was thinking of you yesterday morning, 'Amber must be at the store, swapping' and then there you were on the post. Amazing.

What a great idea! A nice break for you, and so much fun for the girls.

This is your finest idea ever, Amber. We love our playdates... not sure if the girls love it more or myself!!! It's a toss-up! Thanks for thinking of us.

Hooeray for updates and pictures! I can't believe Brooke is almost eight months! And it was fun to hear Megan talking in the little video. Good to see life is treating you well!
