12 hours later

Yesterday morning, Lauren was up and ready for the day at 6:45. She even asked if she could go outside and play. I told her it was like when we are camping and there are quiet hours, the same goes with the neighborhood :) We did our daily walk at 8:15 when Sammy got to our house, which the kids didn't enjoy as much as I did. Then they spent the rest of the day playing hard with all their friends. We stuck to our lunch at noon schedule but when dinner time came around I let them play a little longer. We finally had dinner at 6:30 and by 6:45 pm this is what I saw at the kitchen table. She was so exhausted that I had a hard time getting her to her bed and luckily she is still asleep this morning.
