We hereby declare Friday nights as the official pizza by the pool nights for the rest of the summer! A bunch of our friends got together at the pool for the kick-off to summer, complete with a gaggle of splashing kids and plenty of pizza (except we ordered Luna Grill because the girls had been to an event at Pretend City earlier that week and had eaten pizza there). “Chicken-kabobs-and-salmon-with-rice by the pool night” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, although the girls weren’t complaining.
The best part about Friday night pizza and pool nights is getting the girls showered off there, getting them into their pajamas and watching them collapse into bed and fall asleep in record time.
This photo is a typical evening for us in a nutshell. Cranky girls, smiley baby!
Hard to see, but I’m guessing this is Camdyn, Addison, Jadyn, Samantha and Amelia being goofy on the steps. Chelsea, London, Nate, Kennedy, Quincy, and Olivia were off lounging on the chairs and eating pizza. Score one for childhood memories being made.
Trying to practice what we had learned in swimming lessons that day, except all the girls wanted to do was cowabunga into the pool.
Meredith begged for her own cabana, but didn’t count on being blinded by the sun.
More outdoor eating at the Saddleback Moms of Multiples Club ice cream social in Laguna.
No paparazzi, please.
Sammy loves to yell, “Peekaboo!” when she pops out of slides.
Hogging the tire swing and refusing to let other twins on.
At the social, they had the cutest ice cream-themed scavenger hunt where the kids were given a cone and a list of “toppings” to look for around the park.
Find the cherry game! Can’t believe Samantha wasn’t all over this one.
Holding up her spoils.
Yet another picnic dinner (we really do eat outside quite a bit!) with Cousin Noah from when we got together a few weeks ago. Picnic dinners and leaving the mess at the park are some of our favorite ways to not go crazy on a Monday night .
More summer meals outdoors where this came from.
Lots of love,
