After Thanksgiving, we stayed an extra night at Grandma’s house. We were quite close to coming home early, since Hadley decided to wig out for several hours yesterday. But, alas, we survived and today is another day.
Hadley woke me up at 6 and let me know she’d had an accident. It’s the first time she’s had an overnight accident, but she had fallen asleep during that movie last night, so she never really had the opportunity to go before bed.
It wasn’t a big deal, but I did get a good laugh. As I was helping Hadley change out of her wet clothes, she said to take off her britches. Well, Grandma calls them britches. Hadley on the other hand, wasn’t even beginning to pronounce the “r”. So, after a few minutes of trying to figure out why Hadley was swearing at me, we got her cleaned up and she went to play with Grandma and I went back to bed.
Linds and Zoey got up and then Hadley came running and screaming into the room and jumping on me to wake me up. It was lovely.
We just spent the morning relaxing. It was quite nice.
Hadley said that she wanted us to get into the hot tub before we left, so despite the fact that it was snowing, I took her out there. Papa joined us and we had a great time.
Zoey Belle found that she enjoys pulling herself up on the glass table and gnawing on the edge. She is getting fast and is going to be a strong climber. Time to start baby-proofing the house.
The girls slept on the way home, so when we arrived, they were ready to go. Linds got out the Christmas decorations and Hadley helped decorate. She and I then went outside to see if the outside lights were still working. The ones in the back were not, so I took them out of the tree while Hadley dug around in the garden. We then turned the front lights on and Hadley said she was cold and ready to go inside.
We ate and early supper, took baths and then watched a movie on TV as a family. Hadley got to have some popcorn, so she was a happy camper.
We put Hadley to bed and she only got up 3 or 4 hundred times. Most of the times were due to the large amount of monsters that apparently have taken up residence in her room. After an hour or 2, she fell asleep.
Zoey Belle, on the other hand, was not going to go to sleep. Ever.
She fell asleep on Linds for about an hour, and then woke up and refused to sleep until around 10. At least she wasn’t being crabby. She was just awake and ready to play.
Finally, both girls were asleep, for the time being and Lindsey and I watched a movie, preparing for the fact that we would probably be seeing our lovely children in just a short time.
