On top of that we decided to go to Brian's softball game last night (which was a late start game), and it didn't get done until 8 pm at least. By the time we got home and got everyone ready for bed it was after 9:30 pm, which is very late indeed for our two. So in the middle of the night they both decided to bless us with a little late night screaming. When you're no longer accustomed to the middle of the night screaming, it makes it very difficult do deal with. That made for some good vacation sleeping!
So anyways, today's the last day of the vacation, and we decided it would be best to celebrate Shelby's upcoming birthday this weekend instead of next, so we'd have time to enjoy it. We spent a very relaxed afternoon / evening at Chuck E. Cheese (really, it was relaxing) eating pizza, playing games, and spending time with each other. There were hardly any other families there, so it wasn't quite as crazy as it usually is, so that was really nice. And Shelby was exuberant and ecstatic over getting to go to Chuck E Cheese's for her birthday "party."
Here's a picture of the fabulous hair accesories the girls won with 2 hours worth of Chuch E Cheese tickets. We like to call that "a good return on our investment."
So here we are, finishing off our last evening of vacation with another viewing of Milo and Otis, one of the most innocent and funny movies of all time (with some very quotable quotes interspersed throughout).
(From MILO AND OTIS)
Narrator: To keep up his spirits, he began singing a dog marching song.
Otis: Here comes the dog, strong and brave - woof! Here comes the dog, your life he... [falls into a hole]
Narrator: He then decided to skip the whole thing.Narrator: The farm cat had just given birth to her first litter. She was determined to be a good mother and never yell at her kittens. But that approach would not last very long . . .
Our fun day did turn out to be pretty fun after all. We're all ready to get back to normal! :-)
