sleepover

avoiding the noise and mess led to playing with the blog.
neglected blog. 
marley had her first sleepover.
nana and papa gave the kids coupon boards for christmas.

marley redeemed a "sleepover" coupon.
build-a-bear, beauty and the beast 3d, waffles.
she had a wonderful time.
she got all the attention.
i loved it because it is so hard to give one on one time with 3 little ones.

beckham had a hard time being away from his bff. 
it is their first seperation since marley came along 3 1/2 years ago.

it makes me laugh how hard I thought one child was, till there were two.
and then three.
and when one is away it seems sooooo easy.  
how could I ever have thought two was hard?
ha.
ha.
ha.
i did miss my girl.  
absence makes the heart grow fonder.
now that she is home, the noise level has been returned to it's normal volume. 
loudest.
