We enjoyed a full day yesterday.  It stared with a kayak trip down the river and thanks to Ben we had some good entertainment (he flipped his boat 2 times but I m sure it was just to cool off)!  We kayaked for about an hour and a half and then headed out to brunch at Crackers (so delicious).  After brunch, back home for a quick swim in the pool and then some quiet time.  The kids were exhausted but I am not sure why they hate to admit being tired!  What is it about this and childhood?  I beg to be sent to quiet time or to my room for a nap!

The kids had the option to watch a movie or hang out in their rooms and nap or play quietly.  I always am secretly hoping they chose nap but yesterday I wasn’t so lucky.  They both chose a movie downstairs and E.T. was the winner.  I sat for a while and watched and then headed upstairs to do laundry (why didn’t I take quiet time?).  I checked back downstairs to see how the kids were doing and found this…

Apparently, her quiet activity was playing house.  She was being oh so quiet.  I am not sure if sleeping was part of the pretending but I thought it was so cute.  Her little baby doll was there, her bed made of blankets and her little Mo sleeping right next to her.  That panda bear mysteriously appear in our home a while back and who knows where it came from?  She put the door in front of this little niche (a playhouse door that fits in a doorway) and that was her entrance into her “house.”

She slept there for about 2 hours.  When it was time to wake her (I hate to wake my kids when they sleep), Tim went down and rang the doorbell on her door.  It didn’t wake her immediately but shortly after she found her way upstairs and was in a pleasant mood. 

Now that was a blessing.

Sometimes my kids (ok, and my husband) wake up in rotten moods after a nap.  I hate it!  I was expecting some grumpiness but I was mistaken (until Zane woke up and made up for the lack of grumpiness around here). 

Zane had fallen asleep on the couch during E.T. and we had to move him upstairs to his bed.  He woke in his bed about 3 hours later and was soaked due to a lovely accident.  Poor guy-I probably would be grumpy too!

It was such a fun day and to make it even better, we skipped dinner and went to Yogurt Jungle for dessert.  Good times!
