Strottman dropby


 As the weeks and months quickly pass by, I occasionally remember to meet up with friends and get updates on what's happened since we last saw each other.  I'm notoriously bad at staying in communication, because I've never been one of those super communicators- you know the ones that always call when it's your birthday, send you an email when they think of you, and call on their commute... Basically the people that make me feel like a horrible friend and human.    

To all friends I haven't see in a while, I hope you take this two ways: I still love you and maybe you should call, since I suck.

Anyway, I randomly contacted our dear friends, the Strottmans, and took a quick visit to their house a few weeks ago. Coincidentally, it was Grace's seventh birthday, so it made me look like a rock star (to her at least).  Below are pictures of the chaos we created before her first sleepover.  

By the way, I gotta give credit to Matt and Kathleen for allowing 10 6-7 year old kids sleep over.  That sounds waaaaay too painful for my taste! 


Playing tag.  From left to right: Grace (7), Noah (3) and Ashton (2)

Let's dance!  Grace and Noah turned down the lights for a romantic atmosphere.

Even Reagan got in on the action with the big kids!

At first, the vacuum was the main source of sound.  Super fun for the grown ups.  After that, there was a battle of the lights.  Ashton is telling the room that he wants "LIGHT ON!"

Smoosh and kisses for the birthday girl.

Ashton truly helping clean up the toys with Kathleen!
