Grandma Karen Comes to Visit...

So we were very fortuntate a few weeks ago to have my mom come from Denver to visit us. We enjoyed her visit and I know she had a great time, too - especially getting to cuddle with those adorable grandkids of hers!

An Alexis Story

The other night, as we were leaving my ILs house, Alexis tripped and fell. She cut her lip, hit her tooth, and skinned up her knees and thumb. She was hysterical and cried for at least 30 minutes. After I got her cleaned up and stuck band-aids to the bad spots, we went home to eat. On the way home, I told the kids I was going to make spaghetti. When we got home, Alexis was still crying and by this point, I was over it, so I told her to go upstairs and cry up there because I needed to get dinner on.

Once dinner was ready, I sent Ty up to get her to come eat. He came down and said that she was asleep! (This was about 7 PM.) Sure enough! She was out. I decided to let her sleep, thinking she'd wake up later and be ready to eat then. Well, later never came, and the next morning she was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and in a great mood. She was going to work with Josh that day (for take your daughter to work day) and so I told her to go down and have daddy get her a bowl of cereal.

At this point, she looks at me and says, "but I thought we were going to have spaghetti!" I said, "Uh, you missed the spaghetti. That was last night!" It was funny.
