Big Day, Sleepy Kids

What a day today! Totally chock-full of activity...hopefully, the kids will sleep like rocks tonight and maybe, just maaaaybe, sleep in past 6 am!
Elise woke up at 5 am this morning and Lola, at 6 am. We thought it would be fun to go out for breakfast so, by the time we rallied ourselves and got the girls dressed and whatnot, it was 10 am. Elise fell asleep before we even got 5 minutes away from the house. We had taken 2 cars to go to restaurant because Dan's mom joined us, so I just drove Elise home, where she continued to sleep for 3 hours! After the others finished their breakfast and came home, we tackled cleaning out the garage. We do this about 4-5 times a year and it's always such a big job. I found stuff I haven't seen in years though! We worked until around 2:30, then got ready for an outing to Seaworld. Holy cow, was it packed there tonight. I have been there on a Saturday in the summer and it was never as busy as it was tonight! But, it was fun and the kids had a blast. Elise rode on her very first park ride and she loved it!
Even though the girls were obviously tired, we decided to push the envelope by going out to dinner. Where? You guessed it...Sipz! I really had to try it again. And it was just as good as yesterday! The only negative was that my kids were obviously not in the mood for a dining out experience. Lola would not eat anything and Elise was all over me. She also dumped a bottle of soy sauce all over herself and broke a sake cup. All the way home, all we could smell was soy sauce.
The good news is that the kids fell asleep on the way home. I had the good sense to clean Elise up before getting in the car so it was a nice and easy transfer to bed when we got home. Now we are chilling out to the harmonic sounds of explosives (for training) from Camp Pendleton. This is supposed to go on all weekend. Hearing them is like a steady reminder of what is going on outside "my" world of kids, school, diapers, etc....
