The Car Ride Home

 The kids spent Thursday afternoon at my Mom's, while I got my haircut, went to Chick-fil-A and Target.  Sounds like the perfect day, right? Well, it was pretty nice, I won't lie.  Not to mention, I called up my little sister, who is usually working, or in school, and who I rarely see, and asked her if she was busy.  Well, the moons were aligned and I swung by her house to pick her up and drug her around with me.  Funny how things work out that way.

But since the kids were at Nana's for the afternoon, meant the older two did not nap.  They went for walks and worked in the yard.  They were exhausted to say the least.  I wanted to snap before and after pictures of the 35 minute ride home.
Do you see Charlotte's bottom lip?  Frankly, you can't miss it.  The bottom lip is always accompanied with whining.  Let's just say that Charlotte's bottom lip sticks out 70% of the day.


 They watched the last ten minutes of Toy Story, and literally with the beginning of the credits both of their eyes shut and heads drooped down.
 Joe woke up right after I pulled off of the highway.  He was excited for t-ball practice, so he couldn't go back to sleep.  Hence, I didn't get a good sleeping/drooling picture of him.  But one day I will show him this picture and tell him that Betsy has had him wrapped around her finger from day one.
 I knew she was tired too.  I have really pushed her as far as a sleeping schedule goes.  With the first two I was much more stringent with a schedule, but with three kids it's a little more difficult.  Still, she amazes me with her patient and sweet demeanor.
