So after we got home, we were going to go out for pizza, but it was raining and HAILING like crazy so decided we better stay home. So we hung out at the house and made some chicken nachos for lunch. The rain was coming down, and the wind kicked up....and the backyard was getting blown all over the place!! It was amazing. The kids were in awe. So we sat and enjoyed the show.
By the way, while I took the kids to the football game, Vince stayed home with Avery...put her down for her nap...and relaxed. He said she basically asked for her bottle and nap when she was ready to go down. Again, easiest baby on the planet!!!!
So, anyways, we finished lunch...and the kids played whatever they play when they are hanging out together. Avery chilled with Vince and I...sand us some songs. Danced a little. Then later I let her play on the iPad. Man, does she control that thing! She is a little genius. She swipes and knows which screens to go to for her "stuff". She likes watching Dora and Elmo on YouTube....so she knows where to go to find that. Sometimes she gets Dora in Spanish...and it's hilarious because she talks to the screen...and answered questions when Dora asks them...like she totally understands what she is saying (in SPANISH). So, Vince and I decided that Avery is basically a baby genius :) Haha! Now I know Alisa doesn't really let her just sit there and play on the iPad forever....but I was just amazed by it so it was more entertainment for me and Vince observing this whole magical thing going on. Oh, and later she was even singing to the Elmo songs on there too...which I WISH I would have videoed but was just enjoying the moment too much.
Later that night we ordered some pizza from a local place...which took like 2 hours to get there...ugh! But it was pizza and everyone liked it. After pizza we let the kids play the Wii for a little bit. The standard is the Michael Jackson dance...which seems to get everyone off the couch and participating. Even Avery. She gave up her Titi (bottle) to get up and do a few dances. I DID get those on video...so am happy about that. After few though, she was ready for her titi and her night-night....and off she went to bed. The bigger kids stayed up playing until they were just too beat down. So much for our all-night slumber party....they were all ready for bed by 10!!! Oh well....such good kids when they all ASK to go to bed...ALL of them...haha!!
