Beatrice and Millie came to our house around noon to spend the entire day with our family. Patrick and Willa had a wedding and we were thrilled to have the kids for the evening. Both Matty and Bea decided they wanted to play with each other instead of nap, so they were outside with Adam for a long time. Meanwhile, Tyler slept until 5:00 and I stayed with Millie while she did a good job sleeping too. We eventually played with the slip and slide and just had lots of fun hanging outside. All the kids got along beautifully and Millie was such a tropper. Pasta was for dinner and ice cream cones were the big hit for dessert. It was so cute just watching the cousins eating and talking together during dinner. I got Matty and Bea settled in bed by about 7:00 and got to spend a little time with Mille before she drifted off to sleep. All in all the kids were so good. It seems like everyone had a great time and hope we can do it again some time.
We did have a "big" conflict in the evening. It was the last day of the fair which meant demolition derby day along with fireworks. It's like Christmas day for Tyler and he's really been talking about it for quite some time. So Adam left with Tyler around 6:15 for the big night out! They finally arrived home just before 10:00 and Tyler was pumped! He was telling me all about the trucks and how some caught on fire and there were "real" fireman there. And this is the first time he seemed excited about fireworks and not nervous. He told me they were "beautiful and so colorful"!!! Adam said it was a special night and Ty was so well-behaved and just really into everything that was happening. I especially loved hearing his version of everything in retelling it all to me. So sweet.
It was a great, memorable day for all of us!
