Away Game

The kids were up and going by eight thirty this morning. We just barely got everyone ready in time for church. After that we came home and had some lunch. At this point the kids seemed to be on edge as little things were setting them both off. We decided that they would both go and nap immediately after lunch, but then not ten minutes later the phone rang and it was Rob inviting the kids to come over and play for the afternoon. So we decided, what the heck, we would go even though the kids were exhausted. They were pretty excited about being able to go to someone else's house, so based on that I figured they would get their second wind. And that's more or less exactly what happened.

They both were well behaved (mostly) while they were there and they seemed to have a really fun time. Quinn and Catherine both enjoyed the playset they have in their backyard, but they didn't play on that for too long. Soon Catherine decided she wanted to go inside and play, but Quinn just wanted to stay outside and drive the mini electric car they have (hot pink I might add, with the license plate "Pretty Girl" also). It probably goes somewhere between two to four miles per hour, but Quinn just loved driving it up and down the driveway. Ignore the fact that technically it was too small for him, that didn't stop him in the slightest. I think he just about drained the battery in it from driving it so much before we left. And if he wasn't driving it, he was directing whoever was driving it, while pretending to be their pit crew.
