Congratulate me.  I got her to take a nap today.  The little bugger REFUSES to stay in her bed.  We have covered all forms of discipline, punishment, bribing, and the like to no avail.  Today I pulled the rocking chair right into her doorway and sat there nursing Piper while she waited for me to leave.... and waited and waited.  She finally got so tired of waiting she crashed.  It only took a half hour. 

Steve and I decided to take a little trip to Denver with the kiddos this weekend.  We told them that when he got his bonus for the year we would do a fun trip.  Our plan is to hit the Lego store, Casa Bonita's, IHOP (they beg to go here every time we see one... The actual experience will find them disappointed, I think)  the Aquarium, and a motel with a swimming pool.  So we are leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow.  Steve took a day off work and we have to be back by Sunday for church.  It will be a full two days, but hopefully, they will enjoy it.  Steve wanted to stop at the outlet malls in Fort Collins.  I said that shopping with 5 kids sounds like torture.  Sometime, when I am not connected to the baby, we will have to go down by ourselves. I am not ready to buy new clothes yet anyway. 

So that's the list of excitement on tap for the coming weekend.  I am sure we will be exhausted, but, hopefully memorable.
