On Friday afternoon, Liz and the girls headed to Birmingham for a quick weekend visit. Originally, Ryan and I had plans that were going to keep us out of the house all day Saturday, but when they got cancelled, Liz graciously agreed to still take the girls for a few days which we really appreciated. The girls were so excited that they were going to Birmingham, especially because they would get to see Bama's cats. They love those cats!
On Saturday morning, they had an early wake-up call as the girls were up at 5AM; they don't understand going into Central Time Zone! They killed a little time and then headed over to Tuscaloosa to tailgate at Alabama's opening game. The girls had a blast! They were thrilled that Kendall, John, Josh and Amy came to meet them there. They loved the bright pink shirts Josh brought them from Alabama's fire college. They had a lot of fun walking around and grazing on all the food. About half-way through the 4th quarter, they were able to just walk into the stadium. They ended up in front of the cheerleaders. Mia noted "Bama, they keep saying your name and telling you to go." How funny is that?! They also got to meet Big Al which both girls told us about. Also, they ended up on the Jumbo-Tron! I know the girls had a great time at their first football game!
They finally got home, bathed the girls and got them in bed about 8:30. About 1AM on Sunday morning, Lily came downstairs to Bama's room, and said "I'm going to throw up." They ran into the bathroom, and sure enough, she did. Bama cleaned her up and then put her in bed between her and Mia. About 30 minutes later, she heard Lily cough, so she grabbed the trash can and Lily threw up once again; as a side note, she said Mia didn't budge. Not surprisingly, Liz didn't sleep so well after that though both girls slept great. When they got home this afternoon, Lily climbed up next to me and immediately said "Mommy, I ate too much yesterday and I threw up dozens of times during the night." Not exactly the truth, but it's a 4 year old's interpretation. Other than the middle of the night, I think everyone had a great time!
While the girls were gone, Ryan and I ended up getting to rest a lot which was greatly needed. On Saturday, we watched football almost all day which was lots of fun. I worked on scrapbooks, we ran a couple of quick errands and we just enjoyed the day. This morning, we went to church, visited the new Whole Foods nearby and then came home where the girls arrived shortly after. Even though we always love and appreciate a few days of peace and quiet, we are always glad when they come home too; we love our girls! Thank you Liz for our break!
