My party has ended


*Hayley took this picture, so I hope she doesn't get mad that I'M posting it, but it is of MY child, so...*

This party has ended on so many levels. First, Hayley has now gone home and she is a party in and of "her"self. We sure have fun and she keeps me smiling with all her crazy/silly ways. She kept me laughing with all the things she "may or may not" be doing. Like buying more charms for her charm bracelet. The one she hasn't even gotten for Christmas yet, but has basically filled it up already!! haha.

Second, the eating out odyssey is over. We have certainly enjoyed ourselves. "Where are we going for lunch today" was the question of the morning. Yesterday, we ate lunch with the Austin girls and then proceeded to have a "girls night out" plus Hayden :) at Panera Bread. (Hunter and Scott were at a Boy Scout camp-out). At dinner time I realized that Hunter, Hannah and Hayden were pretty much veggie and fruit free for the day. Oh well, right?

Third, we finished all the homemade oreas up today-BEFORE lunch. I think we all had 2. All of us except Scott, who was about 3/4 of the way into his first one, and "couldn't eat anymore, they were too rich"! Whatever dude!!

Fourth, my house is at an all time low. I have been way too busy...playing with my sister to worry about little things like laundry, cleaning bathrooms, dusting. I have vacuumed, just so you know. Little baby girl+big golden retriever=vacuuming VERY important on the list. I'm going to be a single parent this week, so poor Scott really needed some clothes. Otherwise, laundry might have waited haha.

Today is a busy one. Soccer games, football games, camp outs, 2 birthday parties, a couple trips to the airport-good times!! I'll go from all the help in the world (Hayley with a little Scott thrown in) to nothing, it's all me. But I will survive, maybe with a little blogging thrown in. I'm off to go clean for a few minutes before the next activity begins.

I know you had fun with your sister there, Heather. She is really fun to be around and I know you will miss her. I have a good week, so let me know if I can help if you need one less child for a while!

it sucks when the help leaves! and it sucks when it's time to start eating at home again. AND it sucks when you realized your kids haven't had fruit or veggies all day. man, have i been there! good thing you're a super woman! you'll have everything whipped into shape in no time.

What a fun week to have with Hayley! Eating out is my favorite thing :) That stinks Scott's going to be gone for the week--being a single parent is not my favorite thing, but if you need help, lunch is one me at Chilis (or wherever actually) ;)

It's hard to get back on schedule after a 'vacation' of sorts -- I hate that. I know you will miss Hayley - -it sure sounds like you guys had a ball.

Seriously, Hope is just beautiful. I am so glad you had fun with Hayley. I love company, it is the best.

Hayley said...

that girl is darling & don't you worry heather - i've got plenty more i'll be posting soon, bragging about my darling little baby niece. i miss you guys too. i sighed really loud on the plane today. and the lady sitting next to me said, "are you hot too?" i said, "no, i was just remembering when my niece smiled at me this morning." kinda pathetic.

Those eyes...gorgeous! I'm jealous you had play time with your sisters, mine live far away as well and it's always a let down when they leave.
