you know it's a good time when...

your nephew looks like this on the way home after his very first sleepover and day of fun with aunt gizzie.

that's right. i dared to take in two of my favorite little darlings for a slumber party -- a night away from the 'rents with their tia loca. (i have FIVE four favorite darlings for the record...it's just three two (sorry moo!) live really close to me.) anyway, a good time was had by all!

saturday evening we swam and played on the playground. then off to archie's pizza for dinner. we capped the night with a mylie cyrus concert (with special guests the jonas brothers) on the disney channel. woo hoo!

sunday brought us a very excited buggy (anders) whose first words out of his mouth were, "i slept all night without my te-te" (that means pacifier and words can't describe what a really big deal it is!) and he proceeded to repeat "this is so much fun. this is so much fun." all day.

what kind of fun did we have you ask?
oh, we went to the miami seaquarium. we saw the manatees and dolphins and alligators and sea lions and even a killer whale! plus a lot of fish in the big old aquarium and we played and played and played on the playground. and let's not forget all the junk food! (slurpees, brownies, ricky race car gummies.) i'm actually surprised one of them didn't throw up.

here are a few pics of the exciting day. i can't wait to do it again...
