Lindsey let me sleep in today, since I let her sleep in yesterday. That was great.

Church is later, now that the summer is over, so that means tired hungry girls sitting quietly. Or Hadley sitting for awhile and then getting rambunctious fast.

We got home and had some lunch. Hadley did not want to take a nap, but Grandma and Papa were coming over this afternoon, so we forced her to stay in her room. When they arrived, we went in to wake he up and she was passed out on her little couch surrounded by books. I don’t think she really slept, but what can you do?

Grandma and Papa weren’t planning on staying long, but Hadley wanted it even shorter. She was showing Grandma her new favorite movie, Meet the Robinsons (or Meet the Robins, as she calls it) and she asked if she could watch it. I told her that she could as soon as Grandma and Papa left. Hadley responded by saying to Grandma, “Can you leave?”

After a bit longer, Grandma and Papa hit the road and after hugs and kisses, Hadley enjoyed her movie while Linds caught up on a nap.

Tonight, Lindsey had a girls’ night out with friends, so Gerry and I took the girls to McDonalds. Zoey Belle was losing her mind the entire way there and back. As soon as we got home, I layed her on the floor and she was cool. I think she just hates her car seat.

Hadley only took about 6 attempts to get in bed. First, she wanted milk. Then to go to the bathroom. Then for me to fix her toy that she was playing with. Then I heard he kicking the wall. I went into her room and she immediately sat up. “Sorry, Daddy, I didn’t mean to kick the wall. I won’t do it. Sorry, Daddy.” How can I do anything to this kid?

Zoey Belle was looking tired, so I put her in her crib. She didn’t want a bottle of pacifier, so I left her lay. She looked around the room for bit and then fell asleep on her own.

Every time that Lindsey is gone, I definitely get a greater appreciation for the time and effort she puts in with the kids. I only had them for a couple of hours and they wear me out. She has them all day, everyday and sometimes I’m gone at night, too. She’s a super-mom in my book.
