short visit and groovy vi
We had a nice visit with Matt this past weekend. He facebooked Mike and asked if it was too short of notice to plan a visit with us. As it turned out our weekend was wide open, and we welcomed Matt with open arms. Joey didn’t come with him. In fact, I think Joey may live with someone else now, but I’m sure he’s still cute as the girls were keen on asking many times. We took him to the Harbor Market in downtown Kenosha, and Mike also had him help out with picking veggies from the garden. I’m sure it was quite a different feel for Matt who lives in a busy part of Chicago. At one point, I thought we were going to have to search for a new kitty for the girls because Matt and Sadie really hit it off. She kept coming up to him to get cuddles, and I caught her snuggling up to his shoes one morning. I hope Matt had fun with us because we sure did.
On Friday night we also had Alyssa Johnson over for a sleepover, and her parents hung out with us for much of the night as well playing Pit and Trivial Pursuit. The girls had a lot of fun cramming on the little bit of floor space in the 3 sleeping bags. Mike made French toast the next morning, and Alyssa left not long after. The girls are already asking when they can have another sleepover. It didn’t occur to me to snap any pictures of the girls of their official sleepover. Oh, well.
While driving home from downtown the girls insisted on playing “their” songs for Matt from our iPod. Annie’s is “Anniemal” by Annie (a different Annie, but it sure thrills Annie to know there’s another Annie out there who’s a famous singer), Mimi’s is “Mimi” by Maurice Chevalier, and Violet’s is “Violet” by Thao. During Annie’s song we noticed that Violet was bopping along to the tune. That girl’s got some rhythm. We were all smitten.
