Monday with a friend

Madeline's friend Claire comes over every Monday and then on Thursday Madeline goes to her friend's house. Claire's mom, Sara, and I get two glorious hours to take a shower, cook, clean, fold laundry and sometimes even check out email or read a chapter in a book! We started this trade a couple of weeks ago and the girls have a blast with eachother.
Yesterday we went to the park together and if you have ever tried to wrangle two 1 year olds on the slide- it is Exercise! One is going up the stairs, the other is trying to climb off the edge, they dont want to come down together, or at all- it is a hoot!
Only matched by the fun we had on our wagon ride to the park wherein each little lady threw something out of the wagon every 2 steps. A cup, a hat, a ball. Mayhem! But it keeps us in shape, right?!

Anyway, here is a snapshot of the girls before we left for our excursion. Don't they give the appearance, at least of cooperative little angels?
