Wow, what a Saturday! Jason graciously allowed me to go for a good run this morning then head up to the office and catch up on some work after taking a day off last week. I was able to get about 4 hours of work done in 3 hours with no distraction and complete silence...it was great. I could have stayed all day and still not have gotten ahead, but oh well! By the time I got home, the trio was sleeping (Haley didn't sleep but had quiet time in our bed). I picked up the back yard and Jason went on his run. By the time he got home, everyone was up...mommy's turn! Jason headed out to run some errands and we attempted to play outside. Gracie apparently had a great morning but she was pretty crabby in the afternoon and she ended up watching tv in our bed while Haley, Sam and I took a ride in the Barbie jeep and had a picnic. Due to Haley's extreme exhaustion, she was a little firecracker! She found some hats that Dear got for her and Gracie in Peru and decided to model one for herself and one for puppy...quite entertaining! She then decided that I needed to wear one, a la the photo above! When we ate dinner, she thought Baby Sally should eat some peas. Now, she wouldn't eat any herself but she proceeded to cram green peas in a plastic baby doll mouth. It was humorous but touching at the same time; her maternal side has really blossomed the past few months as she has tended to Sally. She is a very thoughtful, caring little girl. That actually reminds me of her and Sam's exchange this morning over breakfast:
Sam "I want more bar" (ie, a breakfast bar)
me "Haley, can Sam have yours since you are eating it?"
Haley "Yes, here Sam"
Sam "Thank you"
Haley "Your welcome"
Brought a smile to my face!
So, right before bed, Haley grabbed my houseshoes and said that with the shoes and her hat, she was a cowboy! I don't know how Vera Wang houseshoes made her think she was a cowboy, but it was an entertaining way to end the day!
We're going to attempt Sunday School and church with Gracie tomorrow. She has not been out of pajamas since last Sunday, but its time to get back to a semi routine; hopefully she'll have fun playing with Stokes and Anna Grace!
