Hola everyone! Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. We are on vacation this week, but we have been busy every day since the vacation started. On Sunday, we had some friends over to the pool just to relax and have some drinks. On Monday morning we dropped my little orange whip at the body shop so that Sydney the Sentra can get repaired. Then I had my first day of class from 10am-1pm. It's the second class that I'm taking over the summer, but it will help me get my Accounting degree even faster. When I got home from class, we did a ton of laundry, cleaned the house, and then we went out to have Mai Tais with Cindy's Mom. Mmmmm...Christy LOVES Mai Tais!!! On Tuesday my friend Stacee, her sons Ryan and Tyler, Brendan, Samantha, and Cindy's nephew Matthew all came over. We volunteered to have Bren, Sam, and Matthew sleep over our house until Wednesday afternoon. We were definitely a little bit nervous because we were going from zero kids to three kids, but we had a ton of fun and the kids were really, really good. The day consisted of a jumping contest between Brendan and Stacee, cooking dinner on the grill, late night swimming until 9pm, "make your own sundae" night, and then we all settled down in the living room to watch Open Season. Samantha was the first one to pass out and then Tyler was quick to follow. Apollo then decided that he was going to crash ON TOP of poor Tyler.
Stacee and her kids left around midnight and we decided that it was time for the little ones to go to bed. Brendan crashed downstairs on the couch (originally so that Matthew and Samantha could have their own rooms). Matt decided that he didn't want to sleep alone, so Samantha invited him to sleep in her bed. I told Brendan he could sleep upstairs, but he already discovered that the TV was ALL his, so he declined my offer.
The kids woke us up around 7:45am and they were READY to go!!! I made them french toast for breakfast and then we all changed into our bathing suits. The kids jumped right into the pool even though it was a little bit chilly. It started to rain so we all came inside, changed, and settled in to watch some more movies. Samantha and Matt flipped a coin to decide if we were going to watch Scooby-Doo or Monsters, Inc. Samantha won, so we ended up watching Scooby-Doo first. The movie ended around lunchtime and Cindy came up with the idea to order pizza. Since Samantha doesn't like pizza, we made her french fries and a tuna fish sandwich.
After lunch, we watched a little bit of TV and decided that it was probably best to bring the kids home. I checked the weather online and the rain wasn't going to let up, so we knew they wouldn't be able to go back into the pool. I went upstairs and helped Samantha pack up (the girl literally brought everything from her room at home...haha). Cindy loaded all the stuff into her truck and off they went. I stayed home with Matthew and we decided to watch Monsters Inc. He fell asleep 10 minutes into the movie AND so did I!!! LOL. Cindy came home and I didn't even hear the door open!!! We woke up, watched the rest of the movie, and then Cindy played some race car games with him on Playstation until his Mom came to get him around 4:30.
It was a very LONG day! The kids were very, very good but Cindy and I have decided that children are not in the future for us! Our doggies are our children and we love our nieces and nephews very much!!! We CRASHED after all the kids were gone. I woke up around 8:30pm, watched the Sox game, and did homework. Cindy didn't wake up until 10:30pm!!! Even after our power nap, we went to bed around midnight and slept until 10am this morning. Our asses were WIPED out!!! Needless to say, the rest of our vacation is going to be RELAXATION time!!!
