This is Kasey, happy to be stopping by as a guest blogger while we await the arrival of
Big Willy!
Tonight, we took a lot of pictures and thought it would be fun to post a little diary of what we're doing while Mommy and Daddy are off welcoming Baby Brother into the world.
I picked up Reese and Quincy around dinner time this evening, since
Mommy checks into the hospital at 5:15am. No one wakes kids that early if it's at all avoidable! It's probably been at least six months since the last (and only) time I've ever picked them up and taken them away from
their house in
my car. They usually come to my house in their own car, then stay. Reese was quite startled that time and wasn't sure what to think. She ended up being fine, once we got out of the driveway and she didn't feel like she was choosing between two mommies!
To my relief, they were super excited for a sleepover. So excited, that they kept saying, 'Go to your house
NOW! Come
ON! Bring
TOYS! We're gonna take a
BUBBLE BATH!' And we realized how
sound proof my windows are when we stood talking in the driveway with them yelling from inside the car,
"Come on! Let's go! Stop talking!" It really took me right back to the days when I would hang from my Mom's sleeve in the hallway after 3 hours of church meetings.
No. More. Talking.
I hadn't realized that Reese knows all the words to
"Human" by The Killers now. She said it's her
Daddy's favorite song. When they next song on the disc started, she said she didn't know this one...and then proceeded to sing along with the correct words. Too funny. Reese showed me how her grandpa taught her to dance with her arms. And when Muse came on, they both showed me what they've got. BTW, Meg, Reese thinks song
#2 is YOUR favorite. Song
#3 is HER favorite.
They finished their
princess bubble bath at 8:30 and were hungry. Reese suggested that she be given
"choices" of what to eat, so we reviewed what Mommy had included in their bag and the "choice" was oatmeal - hands down!
Quincy attacked it!
Reese considered a more lady-like, princess approach.
They inhaled it.
I wasn't kidding.And they were still hungry. The next "choice" was "white yogurt."
I love the way Quincy's entire brow
squishes when she's serious about her food.
Mommy packed BRAND NEW toothbrushes!Note: Pink belongs to R; Purple to Q.
And then I realized there was no 'kid toothpaste' in their bag. Thinkly on my feet, I announced that the dentist had just given us two sparkly bags with a brand new tube of toothpaste for both of them!
They fell for it.
Little tiny tubes of CREST.
The rest of these pictures do not require words.
Cutest sisters!
