Lots of Visitors!

We had several days of visitors, on Saturday evening Ben's dad and stepmom arrived. Caylee was already asleep, but we kept Courtney up since she doesn't get to see them much. She waited all day for them to come, so when they walked thru the door she bombarded their legs and immediately went into show off mode. She grabbed her dancing Mickey Mouse and showed off her moves to Mimi and Gak Gak. Her newest move is to "Shake her tail off". They could only till the early morning and were out the door by 9 on Sunday.

Between visitors I got the girls ready for church and as I went upstairs to grab Courtney's hair clips and check on Caylee I came back down and I noticed our front door lock was open. I immediately began calling for Courtney. I searched the downstairs and sprinted upstairs to check all the rooms and her likely hiding places. She was nowhere and wasn't answering me. I grabbed Caylee who was sound asleep and ran outside in search of Courtney. We have several different way that she could have gone. I chose one way and screamed her name repeatedly. It felt like 10 min but it was probably just a few minutes, but finally a lady (my angel) appeared with Courtney in her arms. I ran and scooped her into my arms. My heart pounded out of my chest. I couldn't even discipline her I was so relieved. My next door neighbor, Sue, who adores Courtney came running out to help me look. My dad helped me install a top lock on our front door right after church.

By 10:15 my parents were at our place and I was still able to go to Starbucks and make it to church early!

We had a good time with my parents. On Sunday we had lunch and relaxed.

Then Monday we went to Disneyland. It took forever for us to get there and once we were there it was so crowded that we wanted to turn
around and go home. But we hung in there for a few hours for Courtney's sake. We took her on her favorites (small world and the carousel)
and saw some characters. Courtney was being so bad the whole day. It was embarrassing. She must have had 20 temper tantrums in one
day. She pounded her fists, feet and head into the Disneyland asphalt repeatedly. Between the crowds, Courtney's attitude and her pooping
her pants I was over it. We grabbed some lunch and headed home.

My parents graciously offered to watch the girls so Ben and I could go on a date. It was our first date without both girls in 6 months. Since it had been so long, we splurged! We went to Ruth Chris, which was amazing and then we went to a movie. We ate and drank anything and everything we wanted. It felt so good to be out and date.

On Tuesday I took my parents to Zoomars in San Juan Capistrano. Courtney loves it. They have a few petting zoo areas. She loves the guinea pigs and bunny area. It is hilarious to watch her pick up the guinea pigs and carry them around. She loves to puck them up, set them on the benches, and feed them veggies. She even bosses them around. Once we finished there we went to the goats and sheep and then to the playground. Zoomars is in the historical district so we had some lunch at a little cafe and then walked around a bit. Here wasn't too much to see so we headed home to get he girls down for a nap.

A busy few days, but it was nice to have the extra help with the girls and to enjoy some fun as well.
