Happy Easter

We had a friend stay the night last night for the second time, actually. Karis' friend just got a new baby sister and to help we thought we'd take on having her friend sleep over occasionally. The first time she stayed over they played and when it was time to go to bed, they got in bed and went to sleep. When they woke up the next morning they put on their clothes, played quietly in Karis' room until I got up and we had a nice quiet breakfast. Today we had a quiet breakfast but for completely different reasons! Karis and her friend got up at who knows what time this morning and played games, helped themselves to their Easter candy, played dress up in Karis' nice old flower girl dresses (that are waaaay to small). . . So by the time they were loud enough that it woke me up I stepped out of my room and looked toward Karis' room. It had exploded! And there are no girls. So, seeing the trail of toys I followed it down the stairs, stepping on Guess Who, around Trouble, over Hungry Hungry Hippos and Ants in the Pants, went around the corner and found the girls on my guest bed playing play-doh and drinking from juice boxes(which obviously they're not supposed to have either, you get the picture). They looked at me and said 'good morning,' and just kept playing. I think tonight we're boarding her room shut.
