Talk about WORN OUT!



I mentioned a post ago that the girls got to have a sleepover at Grandma Ruthie and Grandpa Russ's house with their girl cousins, but I didn't mention how completely worn out they were. Apparently they went swimming twice during the day Wednesday (after a late night Tuesday, and really I have no idea just how late they stayed up :)), so they of course fell asleep on the way home. When they got here, Nate's Dad walked Kelly up to the door, she came in, plopped herself down on the rocking chair that is about 2 feet from the front door, and then went back to sleep. Charity wasn't budging for Grandpa, so I went out the car, woke her up, dragged her inside, and she made her way all the way to the couch in the living room before she crashed. They wouldn't wake up for dinner, wouldn't wake up to get jammies on, nothing....it was kind of funny. They got home 6:00ish, and did not wake up and move from their spots until WELL into the night- probably around 3:00 (I was still up watching 24 on dvd of course, so that worked out well). I remember those days growing up, when you didn't even have the few drops of energy to just get up off the couch and take yourself to bed. And you would spend most of the night in your clothes, in a really uncomfortable position, only to wake up all weirded out not knowing what time it was, what day it was, nothing. Those were the days- I think it's been a while since I did that, obviously. Anyway, I sure loved seeing them all worn out though. It's gotta be a good thing right? Well, they really had such a good time with their cousins and their grandparents. Thanks again!!

The kids all had so much fun. My kids were so tired. But they were so cute swimming. They kept wanting to teach my kids how to dive. I loved it.
