Getting out of nap time is so hard. I'm not ready for her to be done with her daily naps but she thinks she is. Most days nap time is an argument and when I give up she ends up crashing at the most inopportune moments like in the car before we get home from the store. At least today she fell asleep on the way to the Delta so she got a true short nap.
It may have been Superbowl Sunday but I didn't care about the game at all. We had an afternoon with our best friends planned all week and a silly game where grown men in spandex chase around a pig skin and jump on each other wasn't going to stop me. I think I've realized I need adult time, and since they have such similar circumstances to our own family it makes it so easy to relate to them. The fact that they are phenomenal cooks certainly doesn't hurt either.
I had such a fantastic time and kids got the chance to run outside like the wild creatures leaving all of us in great moods. I was surprised how well all the kids played together, even the little ones. At one point they pulled out twister and while the three older kids tried to play, the two youngest ones kept getting in the way but nobody got mad. I was so proud of them all!
We didn't get home until after normal bedtimes but everyone went right to sleep without complaint.
