Best Soup Ever. And A Playdate.

Wednesday was home to a trip to Falls Church to see friends J. and A. (born just two days before our A.). I couldn't wait.  A. would have a playdate and the two expectant mamas (yes, J. is expecting, too - February 16th! It's cosmic, I know) could relax and nosh on all things yummy.  For my part, I brought a Trader Joe's whipped-up gingerbread cake (you absolutely have to stock up on this stuff before they stop carrying it; it's seasonal, but not around long enough!).

But in the end, it looks like it was the girls who were relaxing.  They enjoyed *pretend sleeping*.  And when one would poke her head up, the other would tell her - in their own 18-month old words - to go back to sleep.  

And, of course, they enjoyed eating, too . . . 

 

I snapped this picture after missing the two of them sharing a chair together.  Darn.  Maybe next time. You can never be fast enough when it comes to photographing two toddlers together, right?  Back to us . . . we did our fair share of relaxing and catching up.  And I loved and completely polished off my two heaping servings of J.'s black bean soup.  I HEART SOUP right now.  I want to eat it all day long.  And, with all the chatter that day, I sadly forgot to snag the recipe.  Hmph.  Must e-mail J. now.
