sunday morning surprise

after the awful night I had after the church picnic (separate post), i was happy to hear the kids chatting nicely and letting us sleep a little later this morning. i came out a little later just to check on them and they were telling me that they were watching the balloons from madelyn's window. so I took them out for a better look (wearing my bright pink robe over just a t-shirt and still half asleep) only to find three balloons in the neighborhood and one more about to land on our street! and again, a ton of people.

this time i went and got dressed. maddux didn't want to get dressed or be carried so he stayed inside with daddy and manning. we were all pretty excited to see fun shaped balloons on our street and a clown shaped one by the clubhouse. they walked the pig balloon down to the lot across from our house to pack it up since the lady bug on a flower was being packed up in the road already.

i think there were a total of six that landed in the neighborhood this morning. one of the neighbors had told us that we could see the balloons from the neighborhood but then told us she didn't expect us to have this good of a view!

such lucky kids! love.
