Anna's Big Day

This morning Anna awoke to the news that Papa Bob and Grandma Beth (Jaci's grandparents) would be picking her up, spending the day with her, and hosting her at their motorhome overnight! Anna could barely contain her excitement as she darted through the house filling her suitcase with every imaginable thing. Before she could leave, she found it necessary to inform Jaden repeatedly that he would not be joining them today--instead he would have to stay home with mom and dad. (Poor guy!) The photo above is just before leaving (note the matching outfit and luggage) and just before Jaden broke down in tears.

Jaden's Big Day

So as you already know, Jaden's day started out a bit rough. We had to make up for the fact that he did not get to go to Bopbopbop's house, so we filled the day with as much fun as possible. We had a lunch picnic at the park, an early afternoon T-ball game, a shopping excursion at Home Depot, and a haircut! Jaden felt so grown up being the oldest child at the house that he insisted on sitting on the potty like a "big boy." Of course, we were ecstatic. He quickly proclaimed "it doesn't work!" and removed himself from the toilet, but it was fun while it lasted. The night came to a close with dinner with Mommy and Daddy, a bath (all alone), & a bedtime story. I think we gave Anna a run for her money!
