Sleepovers and Playdates

Since school is out (for Shane and Syd) they both had sleepovers on Friday, July 2nd. Shane went to his friend Eric's house along with a few other of his buds. He had a great time hanging out with his friends, two of which are moving back to the US this summer (sniff, sniff).


Sydney had her friend Victoria (Eric's sister) overnight. It's great to swap kids!!! The girls had a fun time together. They slept in sleeping-bags in the basement, sort of like a camp out. The next morning they had fun playing in our kiddy pool!


This same night Shaylee had an overnight at her German Kindergarten. All the kids who are graduating from Kindergarten and heading on to school get to attend the sleepover. Shaylee was super excited. She counted down the days til the "ubernachten" all week. Here is a photo of her as I dropped her off! She had a great time - they got to stay up late and walk down to the church and go up in the steeple by the bells after dark. It was kind of scary - but fun! The bells even tolled 11pm when some of the kids were still up there! It was LOUD!! Yikes! Then they got icecream afterwards! How fun!!!


Then this week Syd had another playdate with her friend Teresa. They had a picnic in the backyard with their dolls and pets. It was so cute to see them out there I just had to get a few photos. Teresa will be moving back to Spain this summer (more sniffs) so we have a few more playdates scheduled for the girls before they have to say good-bye.


Shaylee enjoys playing with our neighbor-girl, Emilia. Last night they were sitting on the steps together. Shaylee was explaining one of our English books to Emilia all in German. It was so adorable - I really wish I could have captured it on video - but this photo will have to do. Shaylee was so animated as she was retelling the story in German...actually she was sort of making up the story as she went...but hearing her do it in German was just priceless!
