Beanie Baby Fun

Being a planner, I had the whole visit mapped out for the kids. I did not have beanie baby fun on my agenda but it ended up being a big part of our fun! (I'm making mental notes for next year)I had no idea that Susan was going to invite them over and give them beanie baby treats and I had no idea that the girls themselves would bring several of their own from home. The only thing I did was find these two adorable costumes for the beanie babies to give as prizes for our mexican dominoe games but I figured they would use them for barbie dolls.
And I had no idea that one would highly prefer the duck one and the other the pig costume! They were as happy as could be with these prizes.

A funny little side note for my blog readers --- we went to CVS and the pharmacist offered the girls a lollipop. Both girls had on their lollipop earrings so I pointed that out to him and I had to tell him about me being Lolli and about Pops and how I looked for lollipop things all the time. The Pharmacist then told us that his 2 grandfathers' names were Daddy Duck and Daddy Pig.
Can you believe that!!!!!??? Both his grandfathers last names had the words duck and pig in them. What a funny world we live in.

One day when we went to the pool, Sydney brought her beanie baby, put him in the carseat and left her glasses with him. I thought it was pretty cute:)

I was even more surprised to find all the beanie babies asleep in the real baby crib one night when I went back to tell the girls good night!
I guess it is the right moment to tell you mexican dominoe players that yes, I got beat again by a Downes grandchild! Lauren beat us bad and her score even beat Corey's score. And I got my mexican dominoe fix taken care of for a while now!
