Our front porch looking in...: Stashes & Smiles

We were silly, tired, grumpy, and happy--depending on the minute! I had the thought of taking the boys out to dinner tonight (Daniel had his last class of this semester! woo-hoo!!! too bad they start up again in a week!)...boy did Emily have a different idea! She was about the fussiest little lady ever! We needed to run to Lowe's to take a couple of things back and to get some bolts for my newest project (details later! It's looking fantastic though!) so we had to be in the car for a little bit...after our little bit of time in the car and then our even shorter amount of time in Lowe's, the 3 of us that were quiet had heard enough from the 1 of us that was screaming and decided we needed to go home instead of out to eat!!! The boys got happy meals so all was right in our world. Emily's mood changed for the better after she ate, had a bath, and got jammies on. I thought she was ready for bed but she had other thoughts!

Emily happy with her Zachy.

So sweet. Zach was giving her a ketchup kiss.

I'm sure ketchup was just what she wanted on her forehead!

Mustaches...after they were clean and in their jammies!

watching her silly brothers!

Lucky kiddos...Daniel got home early. He texted me when he was leaving his class and it was still early enough that I told him I'd keep the boys up until he got home (still after bedtime but not too late). Boy were they excited that they got to stay up! He's going to be gone all day tomorrow so I wanted them to get to see him for a little bit tonight.).
