What a night...

Last Friday evening was a home game for the school football team...so my dad and all the kids except Emma went to the game. My Mom and Emma spent the evening with us at our house...much to Elsie's delight! We had an eventfully evening...Lilly was getting tired but would not go to sleep so my mom and I decided to pack the 3 kids up and go on drive to get Lilly to sleep. After getting shoes on we rushed out the door...apparently listening to a baby crying was getting to me...because I locked the front door and forgot the keys in the basket by the door! Than meant we were locked out! We tried to get a screen off a window so we could crawl in...but the screen would not come off! Next we tried to pick the lock open with a credit card...no luck! Finally we had to call my dad and beg him to leave the game and use his spare key to get us back inside...by the time he got there the baby was sound asleep...thank goodness! My dad had the wrong set of keys so our house key was not on the chain...but he had better luck picking the lock! Finally we were able to get back in the house to get the van keys...so off we went for a little drive...
We just started on the drive and the baby woke up and started crying again...but we drove hoping she would fall sleep...we drove by the football field and stopped on the road until a car would come up behind us forcing us to move! Before long Lilly's cries turned into screams...so we headed home...as we approached the driveway Lilly fell asleep...and Elsie started whining that she wanted to drive longer...so we backed the car up and started out again...and Lilly started to cry again...I think I have come to the conclusion that the kids will never be satisfied at the same time!

When we got home Emma and Elise enjoyed some watching Hannah Montana and cuddling on the couch eating rice chex...

Emma "reading" to Elsie...those two went quite strong until after 10 o'clock...as soon as the house was quite Elsie crashed!
