And there was a playdate.

Emma and I traveled down to a Chicago suburb on Thursday to have a playdate with our friends Annabelle and Mel.

Emma woke up in such a great mood, I knew it was going to be a good day.

I knew it was a cold day so I got Emma bundled up in her car seat. She's always somewhere between loving car rides and hating getting strapped in.

It was so stinking cold out! Good thing the 90's station had some Britney to keep us warm.

Once we arrived, the girls immediately started playing.



Eventually we headed home. I thought Emma would be zonked from all the hardcore playing, but she felt she had enough energy to help with laundry.

Ultimately, a spaghetti dinner and a nice bath were enough to get her to zonk out... for 13 hours!!
