Shhhh! Don't tell anybody...

Last night, we went to a dinner party and dined on something we aren't supposed to be able to get here. It had a head and a curly tail and was threaded on a stick propped up over a fire. Imagine a Hawaiian luau if you will. The meat was so good. I wasn't even a big fan of "this meat" back home, but as it always seems to be, once you're told you can't have something, you suddenly end up really wanting it.

The dinner party was lots of fun, and we had a good time with all of our friends. Although it kept us all out a little too late... 9:30 p.m. That may not sound late to some, but usually our girls are in bed between 7:30 - 8:00 p.m. They went into delirious mode about 9:00 p.m. and were acting so silly, deliriously silly!

And again, we heard from everyone "Oh, they will sleep well for you tonight." and "They will sleep late in the morning." WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! I keep telling everyone that they are going to wake up by 7:30 a.m. no matter what. They will either wake up well rested or cranky. Throughout the night, Haley woke up crying around 1:30 a.m. and Natalie followed around 5:30 a.m. So we are all a little tired this morning. And the poor maids were out on my front porch waiting on us when I got up at 7:20 a.m. At least they looked well rested! I opened the door and they both chuckled -- most likely because I was in my PJ's with my sleep mask pulled up on my head. I chuckled later too when I looked at myself in the mirror.

So a nap is definitely in order today. We will probably all have sweet dreams about the next time we will get "that meat." Boy, it was good!
