Monday:
We headed home from Gigi and Papas today, and I hoped that since we were heading out in the morning, that the kids would be awake for a while and then nap the second leg of the trip. That didn't really happen.. Annabelle in particular only took a couple short naps and ended up being grouchy the rest of the time. I think I need to stop planning all this kid stuff, because they never really follow the plans you have. Go figure.
Before we left, we got word of some fires taking place out in Bastrop where Marlene and Jonathan live. We by the time we got to Salado, we could see a massive smoke cloud just to the south east of us. It looked like a thunderstorm on the ground. Very eerie. We called them and told them if they needed a place to stay, they were more than welcome at our house.
We picked up Honey and headed home and after dinner, we put the kids to bed a little early since they had such poor naps. Just after I put Annabelle down, Marlene called and said they were evacuating and were going to head on over to our house. I went in and tried to keep Annabelle asleep as I removed her from her bed and moved her bed into our room. She woke, of course, and it took a bit of effort putting her back to sleep, but it wasn't too long after the typical 7:30 that she was sleeping.
