A Visit to Munchkin Land!

Yesterday we had the good fortune of an invitation to Smoochy's cousin Amber's home for a lunch/play-date. It was the perfect afternoon. Amber has two sons and a baby on the way. Each of her boys are almost exactly one month older than my two kids. It has been like that for us all along, as she and her husband we married one month before Smoochy and I. You better believe that the first thing I did after she told me she was pregnant with #3 was to run down to Walgreen's for a pregnancy test. However, the cycle has been broken at last: I'm not pregnant.

Anyway, our afternoon at her home was pure joy, for us mamas as well as our babies. The kids enjoyed yummy fruit salad and mac and cheese followed by bubbles from a bubble machine and icey-pops for desert. Her home (recently remodeled) was inspiring. She is an incredible decorator, and I came away with so many ideas for our new house. But, the real fun for the kids was the huge back yard and amazing handmade wooden play set. Really, the whole day was one big special treat.









While Amber's kids play their hearts out, this is what keeps her busy. This garden is big, busting, and in full effect! I was seriously impressed and a little jealous. She even sent me home with a huge bag of lettuce. I'm telling you, the day was full of treats.


Thank you, Amber, for a perfect afternoon. I hope you guys get a chance to come visit us in Omaha! I would love the opportunity to return your awesome hospitality!
