Sleepover

We had Emmaline and Merritt over to spend the night Friday night, and it was good times all around. The energy in the house goes from zero to sixty immediately when they are here. (Not that Aunt Laura and Uncle Adam aren't totally exciting and fun every second of the day by themselves!)

We colored and made pizza and baked cookies and watched Mary Poppins. I was down for the count by 10 but heard Adam in my half awake/half asleep state tuck the girls in about 15 minutes later and say bedtime prayers. So totally sweet. The next morning I woke up at about 6:30 to a very upset Merritt who didn't exactly appreciate having just been licked in the face by one of the dogs. It was not even light outside yet and Emmaline's all "Aunt Laura can we finish Mary Poppins now?" Inwardly, I'm like this is some kind of sick joke and I'm going back to bed. Outwardly, I go, "Of course! Spit spot!" and we finish the movie at that most unholy hour.

Here are Adam and the girls making pizza.

It would do Mrs. Flossy proud to see her dining room set still in use--complete with the marijuana chairs (or, the chairs with the "decorative leaves," as G. G. described them).
