Annabelle had a sleepover at Morgan’s house for her birthday and Gwyneth went with her friend Ruby to a kids night out. B and I watched the movie Chef and had dinner out and didn’t have to pay for a babysitter. I’m pretty sure that’s known at the old married couple with kids trifecta.

 

The night after sleepovers are quiet days which involve no plans, because let’s face it — sleepovers wreck my girls. They have a blast, but are a pain from lack of sleep. I love them dearly but there is definitely a price to pay for that trifecta.

 

Today we laid low and watch football and the girls made mudpies.

Gwyneth had a special breakfast all to herself and we told her she could go anywhere that she wanted. She chose McDonalds. I’m really not sure where we went wrong with this child.

While B watched the afternoon football game I surprised the girls with a trip to the movies to see The Boxtrolls. They loved it. I thought it was kind of weird. The cross dressing was odd and it was all around a bit peculiar, but they giggled their way through so I’m happy…and we shared popcorn and twizzlers so it was a good, good day.
