Wednesday's confession

Wednesday was the first day of Joe's Spring Break! I promised (on accident... hadn't had my tea yet and was just saying yes to everything Molly said) Molly we could go to the zoo the first morning she woke up and Daddy was here. Well, Wednesday was that day. It was a perfect day for the zoo, because it was a slightly rainy day. The crowds mostly steer clear of the zoo on cloudy/rainy days. I suppose no one wants to get wet. Well, we headed out with our rainboots on and our hair pulled back. (Mine and Macy's hair goes crazy on humid days!) Totally awesome day.

When we got home, Joe and I were exhausted. In order to acquire some quiet time, we decided to play a game. The kid who pretended to sleep the longest and BEST would get a nickel!!! As you can see it went well. Even Arwen joined in!! Soon, though, she was giggling and bouncing on people to 'wake them up.' Molly claimed Arwen woke her up and got 2nd place (a nickel and dime). Macy and Gavin tied for 1st place (a quarter) when we made them get up!

The confession:

Me and Joe tricked our kids into giving us some quiet time by making them compete against each other for pennies.

She loves laying in a big girl bed. Especially, if that bed is in the sun.

She isn't very good at pretending.

This one is a little actress! She was AMAZING at pretending to sleep.

I kicked him to see if he would 'wake up,' as you can see, he thought it was funny.
