The Caravellas are here!

The boys have been counting down the days for Piper and Ansley to get here. They went as far as making a calendar and marking days off every morning. They asked EVERY day when they were coming. I had to explain to Jonah that they were not going to be staying with us the entire time they are in town. They can spend the night but will not be here every night. Jonah just did not get it. He asked why they were not staying with us since we stay with them when we are in CO. I told him they had family here and they all want to see them too. He put his hand on his forehead and dropped his head and said, "WHY do they have to see their grandparents and other family, whey can't they just stay here"?

Daph and I met up with the kids and did a little shopping and went to lunch at Corner Bakery. Just for the record... ALISON MORTON ATE OUTSIDE IN 95 DEGREE HEAT, ALISON MORTON ATE OUTSIDE IN 95 DEGREE HEAT! Did you hear me people? OUTSIDE in the 95 degree heat IN TEXAS at the end of June. I survived. I must admit we were under an umbrella so that did help but it was still a little hot.

We headed to the mall and told the kids if they were good then we would head to the Lego store. Long story short... they were so we did :)

Wed. night the girls were coming to spend the night. They played so well together like they always do. After Daph and Benton left I could hear all four of them upstairs playing and getting along, this lasted about an hour and a half until they all came running down to tell me to come and look at the Lego play park they have been working on. They were all talking at once and telling who did what and then the only part that caught me ear was "the men at the bar" and how mad they were because it was taking too long for their beer to get there. REALLY? How would they know to do that? Do they hang out at bars that often? lol

I had them all in bed by 9:50 and hoping by 10:30 they would all be OUT. I even told them I would buy them donuts in the morning if I did not hear them talking and did not have to come back up stairs. So at 10:30 I snuggle in bed and get comfy and guess what... here come foot steps. SHOOT ME NOW! It is Jonah, he is asking if he can read. NO, GO TO BED! He goes back up stairs and a few minutes later comes back down. I finally tell him to crawl in bed with me so he will just go to sleep. It is now after 11:00 and I am beat. I knew my 6:00 alarm clock (Sophia) would be here really soon.

The men getting mad at the bar because it is taking too long to get their beer.
