Impromptu Sunday

Sunday was a good day.  After such a busy weekend, I was ready for a bit of a relaxing day.  We got to church SUPER early... way earlier than I thought it was going to take us.  We usually leave before my parents just so we can make sure that the kids' Sunday School rooms don't fill up, but this time we were really really early.  While we waited to get into Lucy's room I was showing Dude the room she is normally in, and the door was unlocked so the kids just went in and played!  Lucy technically should be in the next age group up, but she was just finally getting used to the room helpers in the 'walkers up to 18 months' that I wasn't sure I wanted to change it up.  But today, I thought I'd give it a try. She did great again!  No crying, no fussing, no trying to hold on.  It was amazing.  She went right in and played and smiled.

Strange thing happened when we were walking Tristan to his wing... I ran into a guy I went to college with.  I met him through a friend in class and then after that we would just bump into each other in random places.  He's a super nice guy and we even went sky diving together.  I haven't spoken or seen him in probably 5 years, so it was really strange to see him at Mars!  He was helping his brother drop off his son, who happened to be in Lucy's age group.  It was such a random thing I almost walked right past him not even realizing that it was him.  It was strange.  But, I was glad that he got to meet my wonderful family.  :)

After church we were supposed to go over to an old colleague of Gaetan's to see their baby!  He's 2 months old now, but we've both been so busy we haven't had time.  But, it turns out they had a room emergency, so we will have to try again another time.  However, this meant that our afternoon was free so we had lunch over at the Schamper's instead.  :)  The kids had a blast and Tristan was so excited when we told him that we were going over to Kai and Sakura's for the afternoon.  This also meant that the kids weren't getting a nap in, so I was just kinda waiting for one of the kids to explode... and that kid was Lucy.  They did really well, until she had had enough.  The great thing about the Schamper's is that they get it.  They understand what it's like to have their kids miss nap time and then just suddenly freak out... so that's nice.

After that we went back to my parents to get all our stuff from the weekend, and we ended up FORGETTING THE DIAPERS!  AH!  We didn't realize it until the next morning when we were going through all the stuff from their house and realized that they were still in the dryer.  Oops... that's a different story, but I ya know.  We quickly did our grocery shopping to keep the kids up a little later, but by the time we were seriously on the road both of the kids were definitely passed out.  It was a nice afternoon, with the kids and their pals.  :)
