Would Mom approve?

She's driving!

Highlights from today: (Click here for pictures)

• Keaton woke up at 4:44 to be exact and after her bottle she thought that it was morning time.  I tried to lay her back in her bouncy but she refused this.  So I gave her a bit more milk and we sat in the living room for a bit.  She looked around and I caught up on my email, blogs, facebook and pinterest.  Not much happens between midnight and 4. 
• About the time Keaton and I were heading back to bed, Graham was waking up at Grannymom's house.  Robby had bet he would sleep until 8 over there but 5 was when he woke up.  He even went on Grannymom and Grandpa's two mile walk this morning-and it was still dark.  
• Back here, everyone stirred at about the same time but we were all pretty slow at getting started.  We did get a few things done before it was time to head to Sams for brunch.  Reagan and Anderson cheered when I told them that we were going to Sams-they love all of the samples.  We walked and walked around-quite a bit of browsing for us.  
• Then we came back home and Graham was there waiting on us.  Robby and Grandpa worked on the fireplace some and Grannymom fed Keaton and played restaurant with all of the others.  Before two long it was time for the ball game and lunch.  
• Nonna and Pops came over for the ball game as well and we had some chips and bbq.  It was 3 by the time the kids had lunch and they never really understood why we didn't have supper (though we did have smores, fruit snacks, bananas, honeynut cheerios and raisins between lunch and bed).  
• Towards the end of the ball game, Robby got the fire started up and we all headed out for the swings, a walk on the trail and finally making smores.  Grandpa had never had one before.  The kids were in heaven having all of their grandparents there.  They had been wanting everyone to come over for smores for quite a while.
• Soon everyone headed home and the kids had a snack and then baths.  Keaton is a bit unsettled so we have been having to take turns with her and Robby was the lucky one to get the "airplane" duty with the kids.  He said that his abs are sore from all of these airplane rides he has been giving.
