Well, unfortunately, this week is over :( And I am super super sad. Brent & Alisa come home tonight...and while the kids are beyond excited, I wish I had a few more days with them. Vince and Drake were here most of the day today....and the kids all played outside and drew all over the driveway with chalk. They made "welcome home" signs on the cement. I'm sure the HOA appreciated it!
It was pretty warm out today, so all the kids played out there most of the morning....until Avery got mad that they wouldn't let her draw too, so she threw a fit...and threw herself on the ground, crying, and rolled around in the chalk trying to erase it all. She did a pretty good job, until Vince swooped her up and brought her in. I was inside, but he said it was pretty hilarious!!! She didn't think so though. Haha!!!
So we had some lunch before she took her nap...and she was back to her chipper self! She is such a ham! The kids then all came in and played karaoke for a while and all sang songs. Even Avery got her microphone out and chimed it.....really cute!!!!
Vince and Drake went home in the afternoon to do some chores around the house...and I stayed in Mesa until Brent & Alisa got back. It was late, but the kids all wanted to stay up and wait for them....even Avery. So we played Wii until they got home. I have to tell you though...I cried the whole way home because I missed them already. They are truly the sweetest kiddos. Brent & Alisa have done a great job raising them....and it shows. Something to be said for a stay-at-home mom that spends her days raising 3 kids....its hard work, I know, just from a week!!! But nothing in the world is more rewarding!!! Hats off to you two...and hugely to Alisa who has these kids so programmed they could raise themselves! But they are always looking for some love too :) They definitely hold a special place in both Vince & my hearts....and we will take them ANYTIME Brent & Alisa need a vacation....flu bugs and all!!! Haha!!
