Why I love them so much!!!

For the past month we have started a new tradition at our house that the kiddos are loving! They call it "Friday night pizza night." It works like this...the kids and I go to the video store where they fret over exactly which movie to choose and after 30+ min we exit (with video in hand). Daddy meets us at home with pizza which we piggishly eat (because they are excited to watch their movie, and for me...well...I will piggishly eat anything that I don't have to cook) Then we make some popcorn and sit down to watch the movie while spilling our bowls of popcorn on the floor. Well, this week Brian had told the girls that after "Friday night movie night" they could have a slumber party in our bedroom. The girls were so excited and decided to plan breakfast in bed for us. They warned us ahead of time and promised to not wake us before daylight. So Friday night I excitedly crawled into bed while Brian and the girls snuggled on the floor. (Love my husband but having the bed to myself was a dream). Saturday morning the boys woke up around 7 and these two girls sprung into action! They told us to stay in bed while they got the boys up. Sounds dreamy, right? Well...after several minutes of feeling quite nervous about the level of "care' the boys were receiving, kam came upstairs and exclaimed "don't worry...Niki put Jaxon in the highchair without even hardly dropping him!" This prompted Brian to run downstairs to find Jax covered from head to toe with sweet potatoeours and half falling out of the highchair. After "rescuing" him, he was told to return upstairs for our "breakfast in bed". The girls reappeared shortly with our lovely meal! We each got a bowl of raisin bran (with very little milk). Niki apologized for this saying that she poured all the milk in daddy's bowl but realizing that she couldn't open the new gal of milk, resorted to pouring half of daddy's (soggy) cereal into the other bowl for me. After the cereal they presented us each with a chocolate protein bar (taken out of the wrapper but tied with curling ribbon) and for the "big finish" we each received a bowl of popcorn and pretzels with a piece of candy on the side. It's hard to be excited about leftover popcorn at 7am but the sweet little people that gave it to us were so excited! The best part of it all - when Niki said "Do you guys know why we did this for you? Because we love you so much!" And this is why I love THEM so much!
