A Full Weekend of Fun

Graisi got home Friday night after Alli Claire went to bed. We were all happy to see her, but no one was happier than Lucy, Graisi's cat. She had been sleeping upstairs on Graisi's bed waiting for her to come home all week. She was just a little pitiful as far as cats go and went into psycho mode when Graisi got home. I was afraid she was going to wake Alli Claire, but she didn't. It didn't take Graisi long to get into trouble, though. She was excited to be home too, but continued to STOMP up and down the stairs making the house rattle. Between Graisi and the cat, I don't know how Alli Claire stayed asleep....

Saturday, Ashley (Graisi's friend from preschool) came to visit for the afternoon. They had a really good time together and finished off the day by watching "Bindi, The Jungle Girl"... WOW!What an intriguing program!! (That's sarcasm ya'll.... can you hear it?) There was footage of Steve Erwin on there wrestling something or another. I overheard Graisi telling Mallory and Ashley that they'd made a robot and put a plastic covering over it because the real Steve Erwin was dead. That's the only way she could figure he was in the video. Pretty creative, huh??

Mallory spent the night and ended up sleeping on the couch because Graisi wouldn't quit telling her to move over and to keep the baby dolls toes out of her back. All was well in Friendship Land by Sunday morning.

We got home from church and I cut Graisi's hair on the patio. It's pretty short now. I kept asking her to check it and she kept coming back telling me to cut more off. It's sitting right above her shoulders now. She said it's much cooler and not as heavy. As long as she likes it... that's all that matter, right??

Then Graisi went with Kerri, Jeremy and Mallory to the lake for an afternoon of boating and swimming. She came home long enough for a shower and then back to Mallory's to spend the night with her. Do you see a trend here?? Kerri took them to Summer Quest this morning for a week of VBS. (We just don't call it that). I can't wait to hear about their day when I pick them up this afternoon.

Alli Claire woke up about 20 times last night. Ok..that number is a little exaggerated, but not by much! She screamed at midnight for 15 minutes straight. We let her scream because she didn't have Graisi upstairs to wake up. She did finally got herself back to sleep.... and then whimpered every so often for the rest of the night. I can't figure out why she's not sleeping well. We have the same routine every night and this doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes. I'm hoping she will grow out of it shortly. I'm praying really hard!!
