HQzilla

Izzy had a friend over this afternoon. This was the first time she had a friend over since we moved, so she was ready! The girls played hospital (almost all the babies had horrible sicknesses that could be cured by blood tests), went swimming, played dress up, salon/chef, and "jacuzzi".

Cannonball! 

Proudly showing off her bloody band aid.

They notice a dead bee and decide to be cautious. 

 While in the pool they played a plethora of imagination games. They tried to come up with the best "mermaid swim". It's so fun to watch how those little brains work and to think I was there once.

Poor little HQ didn't enjoy the day quite as much. She didn't get to go swimming and she was definitely not happy about being left out of the hospital game. Apparently the older girls didn't like it when a HQzilla broke into the hospital and covered the "patients" (dolls/stuffed animals) in lipgloss and glitter.
  

HQ watches the girls play in the pool from the balcony.

Playing salon/chef... yes salon/chef.

Debating the validity of spinach during dinner.

 The girls did not want the day to end, and were disappointed when pick up time came around. We had to promise there would be another play date (I have never liked the sound of "play date"... sounds too yuppie-ish, but what else works here?) in the near future.

Once Izzy's friend left HQ snuggled up on the couch as close as she could to her sister while I read to them. It was pretty darn adorable. All in all I'd say it was a pretty successful day.
