Surprise!

Yesterday Mimi came to our house early to let the girls help her stain the swing set, monkey bars and play house.  Hayden and Gracie were very excited, well that is until Gracie got upset and said she was "Never going to paint again"  not sure why she gets so upset but I am hoping that it is a stage of the 2's!!!  Mimi said that she poured her paint out and then got mad, who knows, she can be so silly sometimes.  Hayden and Mimi continued to paint until lunch time and then Hayden came running in the house to tell me it was so Hot and we needed to go swimming.  She said she wanted to go to Mimi and Pop's house to swim, which was fine because Pop was already off work too!  I called Mark to ask him if he was okay with the girls spending the night with Mimi and Pop and he said yes...this is where the big surprise came into play...I came back into the living room to ask Mimi if the girls could spend the night.  I could tell she was shocked, for those of you that don't know, I don't usually like for my babies to be gone!  I took the girls to Mimi and Pop's house since Mimi was in the convertible and Mark refuses to let them ride in it.  Once we got to there Aunt Linda called and said that Grandmama had to come hold Colton, she ended up holding him for a good hour or so, she is so sweet with him...she talks to him and rubs his little back and he just sleeps away in her arms.  The girls didn't even care that I was leaving, I got quick kisses and they were off to swimming again.  Gracie will not wear the water wings anymore and she pretty much stays underwater, like Hayden.  They were having so much fun!
