I waited too long to pull lunch out because all at once Haley got super cranky which means she's hungry. I made her a sandwich and basically had to bribe her to eat it and then she ate it and calmed down. She is so odd with that. When she's hungry she gets so cranky and mad that she doesn't want to eat. Unfortunately the only thing that helps her snap out of it is eating. She ate half of a sandwich and was a different child. Her crying had woken Emily up so I fed Emily and then set her and Haley up in the den to play while I started sweeping and mopping. They play really nicely together but every so often Haley is mean and takes things from Emily and says 'mine!' Sometimes Emily cries and when she does Haley gives it right back and tells her, 'it's okay Emily, here it is.' She hates to hear Emily cry which is ironic since she is usually the ones that makes her.
I put them to bed around 1:30 and Emily didn't even sleep two hours before she woke up crying which woke Haley up. I thought that was super odd since Emily consistently takes three hour naps. I had just finished mopping the hardwood and it was still a little wet too. Kind of a bummer. They helped me vacuum the house and get everything ready for church in the evening. For Wednesday nights in the summer we are going to be having our potluck at people's homes. Our house was Wednesday night so I didn't have to make anything, I just had to provide water and paper products. It was actually a pretty easy gig. At 4:50 we loaded in the van and I met two people at Kroger to sell a table and some Christmas ornaments. They had already bought it online so I was just delivering and collecting. It was nice that both people could do the same place and same time. My total profit on the storage unit is now $89.
When we got home David was just pulling in from work. He played with Haley while I fed Emily an early dinner and church people started to arrive just before six. Haley was starting to get hungry-cranky again but as soon as the Mason kids arrived she was all happy and ready to play. We had the food inside on the kitchen table and then people went outside and in the living room to eat. Haley ate outside at the picnic table with Evelyn and Lucy. Emily was super cranky from her short nap and I'm about 99% sure she has a tooth coming in. I can see it coming but I don't think it has quite poked through yet. I held her a lot of the night but she wouldn't really go to anyone else, not even David.
We set up the bean bag game in the backyard and that was a big hit, good anniversary gift Mom! People kept referencing me for rules and to be quite honest, I ended up making up quite a few. I figured if I sounded confident saying them than they would believe me and they did. Do you play to 21? Everyone started filtering out around 8:30 and I think the last people left just before 9. We gave the girls some applesauce for snack and then put them to bed.
I was going to write for today too but I think this post is plenty long!
Haleyism:
Haley has a HUGE crush on a little boy named Owen. He is eight years old and she constantly talks about him. On the way to Kroger to exchange my storage unit stuff she started chanting Owen over and over. She kept tabs on him for a lot of the evening too. He's a nice kid I guess but I'm not exactly sure what she sees in him...
Emilyism:
No crawling today, just the weird bear crawl pose.
