Fun overnighter!

I got some pictures of the kids....the two of Lauren and Maddie sleeping shows where they started out (in the spare room) and where they ended (in my bed). Maddie came in at 2:45 crying so I took her potty and went to check on Lauren who was sitting on their bed crying. So I put them both in bed with me. Maddie wanted mom....but I distracted them with pet stories and got them smiling and they fell to sleep...it is 5:20 and they are still sleeping. So is Andrew and Dylan. It was a fun day yesterday. Took Dylan to practice and then went to walmart with Maddie and Karla. Stopped at subway for sandwiches (the one across the street from walmart is better than the one in walmart.). Then stopped at Central Market and saw Sharon for a few minutes....got biscuits and gravy for breakfast tomorrow and KJ got pizza for kids. After Dylan got done we came back home. Didn't know if Maddie was going to...she missed her mom. But Lauren, Andrew & Sandy (their dog) was coming over so she decided to come home with me. Amanda brought them all over and Toby was very happy. Punkin' was not. Took us awhile to get her to come in last night. Sandy went to bed with the girls in the toy room and Punkin slept with me for a while and then with Dylan on the couch. I will sleep good with Papa tonight!!!!! No work for him tomorrow so we can sleep in!!! We had fun with the kids. They played outside. Andrew and Dylan took the dogs for a walk. They also went down to the beach. And Dylan watched some Mariners and Andrew played on the computer. I painted the girls toe and finger nails and they played kitchen. Had lasagna and Texas toast for dinner and candy bar milkshakes for dessert! It was fun! Today we have kidstuf...then I take the kids home and pick up papa and Tara at the ferry! I am so excited! I've missed him! He is having a rough time of it there. But he is so glad he went. Today will be really hard. Pray for him and the girls as they say goodbye to grandma and everyone. He just called. They are leaving mom's about 10:30 their time....8:30 ours. He is doing ok. He said the girls are keeping his spirits up....that is so good. I'm so glad they are with him! He said it is so hard to see her like this. She doesn't look good....so small. Michael stared at Lanny for the longest time before chewing him out. They've been taking pictures and are taking more today. They had a birthday party for Matthew....Becky's boy. He turned 3 and is quite the chatterbox and really cute. They've been going through pictures and having a good time reminiscing and laughing. Mom is trying to give everything away. So they are enjoying themselves, too. I'm glad.
