Thursday with the girls

The boys were up at their normal times this morning, however, the girls slept in a little. After they woke up we packed up our stuff and headed to Daddy Steve and Namaw's house...just in time for Barrett's morning nap. The girls spent the morning swimming, eating (no one warned me about how much little girls can eat!!!), and playing with Brody. I walked into Brody's room and found him showing them how to work his power tools. They looked pretty tough holding a leaf blower, drill, and flashlight! lol

This afternoon we left Brody and Barrett with Namaw (so they could take naps) and the girls and I went to see UP in 3D. It was a cute movie! The girls were in awe of the movie theater with stadium seating and they loved the 3D glasses. It was funny when we went to the bathroom after the movie and they saw themselves in the mirror with their glasses on. They were suddenly shocked at how "nerdy" looking they were! I thought we looked cute :)

After the movie we picked up the boys and headed home. The kids were begging to go swimming when we got home. We only had an hour before we had to leave for VBS, but they promised that they would get out immediately when I said it was time. They were true to their word. Sydney even reminded Brody of the promise they'd made and told him he better get out now or next time I wouldn't let them swim!

For those of you that have been around Brody a lot, you know that he loves to talk! It is hard to find a moment of silence around here. Now that there are three more people to talk to, he's really speaking to an audience and his volume increases so that everyone can hear. Today the girls decided that they wished the word "why" had never been invented. They informed me that Brody has said "why" hundreds of times a day since they've been here.

Everyone had lots of fun at the last night of VBS. Tomorrow we plan on doing more swimming (surprise anyone?) and then Grammy will be arriving!!!!!

Those 3-D glasses don't look anything like what they used to look like. Paper with one blue lens and one red one. You just need to know that Todd and i enjoyed Taya in our VBS group so much. She was very sweet and VERY knowledgeable. She was only one who said that she needed a Bible in the desert.
