Those Crazy Kids!

We had a great time at the Science Museum yesterday with Grampy. I'll tell you all about it in a later post, today I want to tell you about the crazy kids we have. Meredith and Kevin are in Puerto Rico on business/vacation so we have Caroline with us today and tomorrow. They had a sleepover last night with Grampy at Caroline's house and, needless to say, didn't get enough sleep. So today they were both pretty fun to be around. Caroline tends to handle it better than Owen, but I think that's because she's with us and not her parents. I'm sure when she's with her parents and overtired she's an absolute gem... like Owen has been today. So Grampy brought them here this morning around 10am and Owen and I went off to a birthday party for 2 hours at 11am. Here he is bowling with his friend Harvey.

After the party we came home and sent Owen and Caroline outside to play. They actually did pretty well. I guess my hope was that if I wore them out enough they'd go to bed early. We'll see. Here they are having a serious conversation on the swing. Really, I went over there and they were both very cranky and talking seriously about how one wanted to swing fast and one wanted to swing slow.

Finally, I brought them in for a bath and dinner, it was just about the time I found Owen on the front steps having a time out and a tantrum. Here's Caroline eating her weight in veggies. She ate 6 big strawberries, half a red pepper, and about 10 grape tomatoes. In addition to her chicken! She would have eaten more if I didn't cut her off.

Anyway, right now I can hear them running around upstairs so I need to go. I sent them up to clean Owen's room so they could sleep on the floor. Something tells me they may have been distracted.
