The Puddles

We are slow moving this morning.  The kids didn’t wake up until 8:30am.  And when I say “wake up”, they really just came and crawled into bed with us this morning and slept some more.  Just fine by me!  It lets me sleep some more too.  A midnight return from yesterday’s festivities doesn’t help, but we all enjoyed ourselves in Brenham with the Lake grandparents.  There was a new slip-n-slide for the kids to play on (with three lanes). And I am pretty sure Madie thinks that Papa and Grandma bought this house for the hill in the backyard for her to have a slip-n-slide.  Even Chris started to worry that the kids (especially Ben) was going to crash into the fence at some point.  They (really just Ben) was building up some great speed sliding down that hill.  It’s a good thing it doesn’t snow enough for sledding or Papa and Grandma would need to take the fence out for safety purposes.

After finally going to bed at 4:30am from my trip to the grocery store Saturday night/Sunday morning, I was grateful to get some extra sleep this morning.  We are on our way to the other grandparents this morning. I promised myself we would get home before midnight!!  I am getting too old to keep up these late nights.  Plus, it was a work of perseverance that kept Chris and I awake enough to drive home last night without harming ourselves or anyone else.  I can’t do that again.
