Today was not off to a very good start, both boys having melt-downs all morning...makes for a tired Mommy. But, as soon as the Hubby got home @ 3pm, all the stress goes away. I know that most of the melt-downs are probably due to boredom. It's just to damn hot to be outside for more than an hour outside, especially where there is no shade at all. On a good note, everyone went swimming after daddy got home, and that made all 3 kiddos happy! We ate hamburgers and hot dogs (compliments of the Staybrige), overcooked, but for some reason they still tasted good! After dinner, off to the park we go! The kids get soooo excited to go to the park because there are other children there. There are not many children staying here @ the Palmdale Staybridge. So, as soon as we get them out of the car at the park, you can tell their ecstatic....kids to play with!!!! To sit back and watch them interact w/ other kids is fantastic, to say the least. I love watching them run around with children they just met. My fears of them being anti-social are slimming. It makes me smile from ear to ear, to see them having such carefree fun! I hate to tell them that it is time to go. Punk-a-butt always says that she wants to stay and play with her friends. I have to say, that it breaks my heart to pull them away from having such fun, away from the hotel!
Yesterday we made a paper chain, 28 links long, to count down the days til we "visit" home. I despise saying we are visiting home, but that's what it will be. They are longing for their cousins, and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends. Ten days @ home will be great for them. But, I can say that they are also excited for Sicily, and meeting some new friends there too!
