Friday - Week 5

We coaxed M out of bed by reminding her she got to see Austin after daycare today. Dad dropped off the girls and I made it to work on time today. I had to work the whole day today so at noon T picked up the girls and met me at the Falls for a picnic lunch. It was perfect weather and M and Dad walked around looking at the water and rocks when we finished eating. They stopped by my office so I could show off the girls. M hid in my office finding all my toys - everything from a stress ball to dental floss. After trying to wrap that all over the office it was time for them to take a drive so the girls could nap.

Unfortunately M had a fit in the car because she wanted to give me a hug (even though I went out to the car with them and gave her a hug) so the nap was pretty short by the time they picked up Austin. They went to the house to play and T pack before I got home.

When I got home we got everyone in the car and drove to Mom and Dads. Any arguements M and Austin had at the house over what toys to bring and who got to carry them were forgotten. Right away they started riding bike/trike, basketball, etc. I fed L and T set out PJs etc for the girls. M was too busy to notice we were leaving and L was great in Grandpa's arms - so off we drove to Sioux City to see Amy and Paul in Greese at the Community Theater. It was strange - the car was quiet and we could talk without pausing to find sunglasses, pacifier, or toys on the floor. It was nice! We talked to Toots, Dale, shelly and Renee at the play. Then after a great performance we took Amy & Paul out for supper (at 11pm). We made it back to Mom and Dad's around 1am and went to sleep in seconds.
