Saturday of this weekend was a very busy day. Daddy had a golf tournament in the morning that lasted until almost 1. Mommy also worked in the morning. Lucky for us, Mama came and spent the night and babysat the kids to allow me to golf (thanks SO much, Mama). Next, we had to get Mama back to Lyons by 2:30, then be in Syracuse by 4:00pm for a birthday for Kristin, Brian's wife.
Everything went pretty smoothly and we had a very nice time at the party. The food was great (authentic Syracuse Dinosaur BBQ) and there were lots of parents with kids around Mary Grace and William's age, so the kids played a lot and we got to talk with some other parents.
We packed it up around 8:15 with kids jammies on, fully expecting they would be asleep as soon as we got on the highway for the two hour drive. The fun began as we got on the highway. Both kids were singing very loudly all the songs they knew. ABC, Itsy-Bitsy-Spider, Twinkle-Twinkle, Bingo, Old McDonald, etc. It was really cute to hear them both singing... for about the first 20 minutes.
After about an 45 minutes, Daddy was going insane. So Mommy introduced the kids to the "see who can keep quiet the longest" game. While that brought down the noise level, it didn't induce sleep. William finally fell asleep at about 9:15, but Mary Grace resisted THE WHOLE WAY HOME. At the end of the trip, we observed her shaking her head from side-to-side in a last-ditch effort to stay awake. So 10:15ish, we arrive and put both kids right to bed and so ends our last road trip anywhere... ever...
I'm obviously bluffing, but man.... Sippy cups will be filled with warm milk next time.
