When I decided to go to Texas to see Cindy I knew that meant packing up 3 kids and doing the 7.5 hour drive on my own. I've never roadtripped longer than a couple hours without David. They are used to be me being able to crawl to the back on a moment's notice for whatever they drop. This trip was a completely different story but they handeled it amazingly. Not a single melt down and no whining. We only took one stop to get out and stretch our legs and one other quick bathroom break. I was so ridiculously proud of them for being so great the entire drive.
Ashton and Hannah are becoming pros at sleeping together. I checked in on them one night and this is what I found.Since I didn't know I was coming to town until last minute and wasn't sure when I would have free time I didn't tell any friends until I arrived. I literally texted a few of my good friends and said "what are you doing in an hour?" and luckily for me I got to see them all. They were quick short visits but it did my heart good because I miss my friends like crazy.
Ashton begged and begged for me to stop by Cici's pizza in Richardson so he could pick up some more ninjas from the quarter machines. Some friends met us there on short notice and the kids all got to sit at their own table. They loved it and Ashton didn't leave Max's side for the entire 90 minutes.Hannah Turned Three!! I've avoided princesses and princess theme stuffed for an entire three years. This year all she wanted was a Cinderella dress. Look at this reaction. It was so worth it to give in.
She also got a tea set. That all three of them love. Ashton knows it's girly but doesn't care because it's an excuse to get water from the sink all the time to make sure the girls' cups stay full.
You can also see the dress up shoes her Nana and Poppy got her which have been a huge hit around here.
I worried with onslaught of princess themed things her days of playing ninjas and army men are over. I was so glad this week to see she still plays regularly with Ashton's army men and loves watching Batman cartoons. I love this little girl. Her endless emotions leave me lost so much but she is the best snuggler and the first person to give me a hug and tell me she loves me everyday.
We flew David in town last minute (thank goodness for military discounts) so he could see his family, we could go to the temple and I would have his help on the way home. David's parents took such great care of us and the kids. It was so great to spend time with Cindy and everything else was a huge bonus!
