Marvelous Monday

Today was our first "practice" day for getting everyone up and ready to leave the house by 8:00 to get to school on time and the girls did great! They were pretty excited I guess; they woke themselves up and got dressed before we really even knew they were awake! Maybe they were excited about their "Mimi play date" though, not about having to get up and dressed. All three girls got to play with their Mimi (Greg's mom) for most of the day, they even got to see David and Noni! Trinity and Emory were pretty cute getting their stuff together, they both loaded up their backpacks with toys for themselves and Addison while we were moving car seats around. Emory had loaded her backpack so full she couldn't zip it by herself and could barely stand with it on! Here's a picture for you to get an idea, Emory's expression is actually panic because she was falling backwards from the weight:

Thanks Mimi for the fun day!

After quiet time we had the opportunity to go to school for an open house for Emory's classroom. She is in a "big kids" class this year, PK 2...she's been looking forward to it all summer! Of course as soon as we get there Emory heads for the babies, kitchen and stroller! Thank goodness there are at least 20 babies in her class, but there is only one stroller, so we will have to contribute one of our many to hopefully cut down on some of the problems. Emory had a great time seeing her friends again and Trinity had a great time with hers that were there because of their little sisters. In fact we had so much fun that we ended up at dinner with two of the families!

So here we are, dressed nice (not dressy, but presentable for a change) walking into a restaurant with other families and I look down at my nice black top to find a HUGE, running, chunky, mass of poop from Addison's diaper! I know all you non-parents out there are pretty grossed out right about now, but the ones of you with kids are probably saying, "ooh, I remember when that happened to me". Well, it was the very first time it had ever happened to me and it was GROSS! We spent the next twenty minutes in the bathroom getting both of us cleaned up! Thank goodness Greg was there to get dinner ordered and the other two seated! The girls had a great time at dinner with their friends. We let the big kids (Trinity and her two friends) sit at their own booth, of course they all three sat on the same side. I've attached a picture of them, having a great time together:

Something funny Trinity said today that we have no idea where she got it from. While they were straightening their room before bed this evening she was talking to Emory and she said, "Future daughter-in-law, do what I'm telling you to." I don't think she has a clue what a daughter-in-law is, but it was pretty funny to hear her say, even though it wasn't used correctly!
