I feel like I have done a lot of story post lately and not many with pictures. I do have some pictures to post, and I will a little later in the week. My girls have just been on one lately and I just have to share this. Our church doesn't start until 10 a.m so we can sleep in until about 8 and love this extra hour of sleep. At about 7:15 the girls come in our room all excited and said "mom dad we have a surprise for you". It took me a minute to focus and I looked at the clock and told them it was too early and to go back to bed. Then Kaity blew the surprise and said " we made breakfast for you". Which for them means they made cereal. They were all excited and wanted us to come see the surprise. Austin had studied for 14 hours on Saturday and was still totally out of it. I told them to be quiet because daddy needed to sleep and I would be down in a minute. They left our room and then I remembered... it was Fast Sunday and Austin and I were fasting. I went down stairs to see what the damages were. I had not done the dishes the night before and they were one bowl short so they had gotten out this big Tupperware dish. It was my biggest Tupperware dish (it is probably 2 quarts) and it was about half way full of milk and cereal. It was easily enough for 2 or 3 bowls. They also had three more bowls full of mostly milk and only a layer of cereal because they had used most of the cereal to fill up the Tupperware dish. Allie looked at me all proud and said " there weren't any more clean bowls so we got this (pointing to the huge dish full of cereal) for daddy to use". I just had to laugh and I told them "Thanks you so much for making breakfast but mommy and daddy are fasting and so we can't eat breakfast. This was so nice of you but maybe from now on you can come and ask me if you can surprise us with breakfast." I poured off as much milk as I could a put it in a container so we could use it the next day in our cereal. They ended up eating most of the cereal, so really didn't wast much. It was just so sweet and thoughtful but also funny because of all my Tupperware dishes they thought the largest one would be the best one to use for Austin.

oh, that is so cute and sweet.
That is so funny. I would have loved to have seen pictures of that. You have such sweet girls.
That is adorable! I love those little girls.
And don't worry about having picture-less posts. It's actually a lot of fun to read these cute little stories. :)
I hope my boy learns to do cute things like that!
awww! How sweet. I cant believe your girls are big enough to 'make you breakfast'. I love looking at your pictures and seeing all of the fun you guys are having. Speaking of church just one question... does your church have air-conditioning? We are banging our heads against the wall trying to get AC in our building in PR, but i've been told it is caribbean wide policy. So I thought I'd check my sources.
