.:big surprise:.

dave’s brother called it. dave’s ex must have had somewhere to go. she revoked our privileges of having the girls overnight on thursdays. thank you so much for doing us such a favor, katy.

she requested that she have the girls on saturday from 3 to 8- for her sister’s daughter’s birthday party… do you think that maybe the party could have been scheduled on a weekend that katy had the girls?! probably. when dave told her no because that’s our weekend- she flipped and told him he would no longer have the girls overnight. pretty healthy game of ping-pong for the girls to be in the middle of, eh?

dave and i have jointly agreed that it’s best that we stick to the court-mandated schedule until such time that it can be reviewed- regardless of any more games she’d like to play.

lily is asking when she will have a say in where she spends her time. chloe and ella are asking to stay overnight… hearts are breaking.

dave constantly reminds me that our job is to make them happy, comfortable and full of laughter in these confusing and complicated times. so we plan to do just that.

lily has her last softball game on saturday with the end of the year bar-b-q immediately after. chloe has recital pictures somewhere in the middle of all that… and as for sunday- drum roll please –carl and debby are taking us alllllll out on their boat! one big HOORAY! for the HOPE girls. they have never been on a boat and i’m pretty sure this is going to blow their sweet minds. we always have such amazing weekends with them. i’m sure i’ll have some drop-dead-cute pictures of the little ladies on the sparkling lake for next week’s post.

hope all is well with everyone. shall return next week.
