last minute parties

we had a sleepover last night. normally, we don't let the kids do that on a sunday night, but school starts on wednesday. and we wanted to be able to let the kids have one last sleepover before the weeks started to get hectic. the plan was that taylor and dominick would spend the night across the street, and elizabeth and jessica would spend the night here. about 8 that evening, jessica was already scared and missing her mom, so the girls switched houses. unfortunately, even that didn't last too long. by 12, elizabeth was back over here. she woke up crying, and jen couldn't get her talk, so she walked her home. just as elizabeth got in the door, she wet her pants. jen felt bad that she didn't know what the problem was. i explained to her that it took us a while to figure out what it was too, so she shouldn't feel too bad. now that she knows what happens, next time will be better. i got her pants changed, and put her bed. she didn't remember anything this morning.

right now, the taylor and elizabeth are on their way to green canyon to go swimming. grandma williams and nana told the kids early this summer that they would do something fun like that this summer. the kids didn't remember, but grandmas did. so, this afternoon, it's just me and the two babies. strange.

tomorrow night is back to school night. and the kids get to meet their new teachers and see their classrooms. taylor and jessica got the same teacher. they are excited. it wasn't the teacher that shaun had, but her twin sister. that's also cool though. and she's in our ward, even better. elizabeth ended up being in afternoon kindergarten. which is fine, and thankfully, she didn't get the naughty neighbor boy in her class. i would have requested a switch if she did.
