My heart coo'ed as I checked on my three wee ones tonight before bed. Alex is sleeping on his back, mouth open, right under his bedside light which he turns on nightly after we say goodnight. Lately, he has been "sleeping like daddy" and going shirtless to bed. It is pretty cute if I do say so myself.
Moving on to Conleigh's room, I find her on the far side of her queen size bed sleeping like a baby albeit topless. What is with that girl and her clothes or lack thereof? She has all the make-up from last weekend's girl party lined up at the edge of her bed.
Finally, I peeped in on Campbell. She is a light sleeper, so we don't open her door that often. Tonight after her visit to see me though, I walked her to her room which she has decided she doesn't like. I was trying everything to get her to lie down. I offered for her to sleep in her closet which is where I found her last night, no interest. I offered Elmo as a sleeping bud. Okay, but still not interested in her bed. She finally accepted the floor with her pillow and blanket, so there she is.
Life is precious. Life is sweet.
We are more aware of that today than yesterday as we pray for Granny who is in the burn unit in Houston. Thursday Granny tried to put out a fire on her farm, and she was burned on both her arms, her left hand, and her face and legs also have some blisters. While we expected her to be released today, the doctors have changed their minds after seeing the burns today. On Sunday, they will decide whether skin grafts are needed on her left arm and hand. Daddy said it looks really bad. Please pray for Granny and remember,
Life IS precious, and life IS sweet!
After cleaning up, we took a trolly to the River Walk and ate dinner, fed some ducks and ate ice cream. It warmed my heart to hear both Conleigh & Alex say at the end of the evening, "this was a really fun night."
Before 11:00am this morning, we had played with Polly Pockets, PlayMobile soldiers and the Fisher Price farm and house, put on glitter make-up, washed my car and drawn with chalk on the garage floor. Momma is beat! It takes some thinking to keep three little ones busy without the tv. I'm tryin'. Here are a few shots of our munchkins washing my van. 
Before the car wash, it was make-up on the back patio. You cannot really see how glittery they are, but trust me, they are glittery.
And, when I say glittery, I mean G.L.I.T.T.E.R.Y!!
I'm weak. I admit it. Conleigh came to me this morning with one of her bright ideas of "I know something we can do today!" So, here we are at Chuck E. Cheese's. The children had a blast playing games. We hadn't been there since Conleigh's family birthday celebration, so thankfully the kids can go awhile between visits to see the pizza mouse. 
Conleigh was very excited about all the tickets she was winning. With her winnings, she traded the tickets in for some AirHead candy.
Campbell having fun on the bicycle air balloon.
We need a little more practice at skee-ball. We had a few "wild" pitches. 
Campbell & Alex seem to go to this ride everytime we are there. It is a ride that you sit and watch a roller coaster and the seat moves around like you are really on it.
We love our zoo!
the kids since we made them eat dinner outside in the 100+ degree weather.
