Sunday

Saturday night Haley slept through again and Emily was up two times.  She woke up at 4 after a seven hour stretch and then again at 7:30, thirty minutes before my alarm was going to go off.  I had laid the girls' clothes out the night before to see if that would help us get out the door sooner.  I think it may have cut out a couple minutes from our routine.  We ended up having to wake Emily up to get her dressed.  She was still pretty zonked out, I felt bad.  Emily's late sleeping was not super convenient for the church service.  Normally I put her to sleep for a morning nap during the sermon but this morning she was wide awake.  I gave her random things to hold and suck on and then put her to sleep towards the end.  The service ended then so she only slept about five minutes.  She ended up falling asleep again on the way home.  Haley used the potty two times while we were at church.  One of the times was with David right before her Sunday School class and the other time was with the Sunday School teacher.  When I went to pick her up from her class, Meg (the teacher) said, "she went potty, and she is expecting some candy for it."  Haha, I guess she was asking them for it a lot.  Any tips on how to wean your kid off of candy once they are mostly potty trained?

After church we came home and had lunch and then we put the kids down for naps.  Emily ate a BUNCH of bananas for lunch.  David had to get more out of the freezer because she finished her normal serving.  She ended up eating twice what she usually eats.  She and Haley both slept a little over two hours.  We had invited an engaged couple from church to come for dinner and they arrived around 4.  They came before dinner so we could play games because they had something at 7.  It was a super nice day so we set up outside on the picnic table and got out the outside toys for Haley.  It ended up being a little too windy so we moved inside after the cards blew away a couple of times.  We played the game called 'bang' which is an Italian game that Caleb taught us at Christmas.  David had not gotten to play at Christmas but he liked it a lot.

Richard, the guy, won both games we played.  I had made a soup and kept it on the stove while we played so we could eat it whenever we were ready.  After the games I put some cornbread in the oven and then we set the table and ate.  It was really fun having Richard and Jenna over because they went to school near Covenant College; they went to Lee College, it's affiliated with Church of Christ, they had some stories to tell!  They filled us in on their wedding plans too, their big day is July 20th.  We talked for a while after dinner and then they headed out.

Emily was kind of fussy after they left so we tried feeding her more but she was still cranky after that so we put her to bed and she went right to sleep.  We let Haley stay up a little longer because she was in a super good mood and playing nicely.  Her favorite book right now is Curious George.  He is getting into trouble in most of the stories so while we read them she is usually saying, 'don't do that George!' or 'obey George' or 'no no George!'  It gets my funny bone.  David is putting Haley to sleep right now, hopefully she goes down right away.

Haleyism:
Sometimes Haley tries to flush the toilet with her mouth, it is super weird.

Emilyism:
Emily was super cuddly tonight and kind of warm, I wonder if she is feeling sick.  I gave her some Tylenol just in case!

Haley and Daddy

Yeah, she will probably break that thing eventually

She requested the blanket too

Daddy taking Haley's blood pressure.  The Brusts got her a doctor's kit for her Birthday and she LOVES it!  I took a video of her opening the gift, I will try and upload it tomorrow!

Hopefully she will behave herself better at the doctor now that she has some practice playing!
