In honor of the new addition to the Wells family we offered to watch G-Man over night so his mommy and daddy could enjoy a night away before they are a family of four. Kaylie and Garrett love each other so we knew this wouldn't be a problem. Things went smoothly until a wave of nasty storms came through and ended up putting us under a tornado warning. We had just gotten the kids ready for bed so we were able to put them in the closet with blankets, pillows and toys along with two dogs, and a mommy and daddy.
One a side note...Both times we have watched Garrett for his mommy and daddy to have a special date we have had to take cover. Hmmm..
Once in the closet the main goal of the evening was not to blow away and the other was to keep Shiner and Bailey from eating G-Man. With Shiner drugged up it was easier than we expected. Thankfully the storms didn't do anything and we were able to come out of the closet. Right as they started to go back to sleep another round hit with a batch of hail. This one didn't spur a tornado warning but did scare me enough to bring the little ones back downstairs. At this point it is passed 11. Once everything was finally over off to bed we went. Sleeping soundly we were abruptly awakened by little man not remembering where he was. Kaylie was soon to follow and at 3:30 the three of us were down stairs and pretty much awake for the day.
Even though the two barely slept they were pretty happy. We went to Mc. Donalds for lunch before taking Kaylie to school. Garrett and I came home and he napped. I was super jealous of him considering I spent the time cleaning. When it was time I woke him to get Kaylie. They played when we got home and all of a sudden I had Garrett next to me and the rest of the house was silent. I knew Kaylie was tired but I didn't expect to see her passed out on the floor clutching her toy. Garrett even attempted to take it from her and in a completely passed out state tucked it in closer to her. She wasn't having any of that.
The night ended with us meeting up with Russ and Deanna at Freebirds to eat and give back their merchandise. Overall, we had a great time with lots of crazy yet good stories to tell.
