Two Peas in a Pod...

Erin's BFF Avery is moving this week.  I've talked to Erin about it but I'm not sure she understands.  I, on the other hand, have threatened to lay down in front of the moving truck in protest.  We love Avery and her parents.  She is Erin's Partner-in-Crime.

We had them over for one last play date before they move.  It was supposed to be sunny and warm but turned out cloudy and humid.  Avery had a giant inflatable water slide and we were going to blow it up and let them play.  Turned out we only blew it up to let them slide on it dry.  They would have gotten too chilled with the way the wind was blowing and the sun behind the clouds if we had turned the water on.  (Not that that would have stopped either one of them...)

They have been together since the Baby Class at Gateway.  I knew that her mom Rebekah worked as well.  I approached her when the girls were about 2 and invited them over.  We've been mom friends ever since.  We've traded off hosting play dates.

Rebekah likes to say that the girls are either BFFs or Mortal Enemies depending on the day and the mood.  Everything that goes wrong when Erin is on red is blamed on Avery and apparently it's the same in the Killian household!  But, for play dates they get along great.  Erin put Avery in a huge bear hug when they got here and they hit the ground running.  Erin doesn't have a toy they didn't play with.

We're going to be super sad when they leave, but we've enjoyed our time with them.  Rebekah promises they'll be back for birthdays and play dates.  I think we really will keep in touch and I'm glad.  (She already has Erin's birthday on her calendar!)

Here are some pics of the girls in action...neither would cooperate for the camera at the same time!
