Never have I been so tired after work!! Here I was off for the next 6 days when I got a call at 10am today from a co-worker wondering if I could take her shift. . .Daycare was closed today for "staff day" and Randy is out of town. . . I couldn't reach Kristin or anyone either. . .I was about to say "no" but felt bad b/c this girl ALWAYS accommodates me when I need a day off, etc. . .So, I thought, how bad could it be to take Bren with me to work? It's only for 6 hours. . .right during his nap! So, I packed up movies, books, games, blankets, and a pillow, and off we went. All in all, he did GREAT! He had an absolute blast handing out candy to each customer, and they all loved him; but, let's face it. . .he needs his nap, and wanting all of the fun "coffee shop" food is not exactly a good combo with no sleep. By the end of the day, we were both more than ready to come home. As I predicted, he was asleep in the car on the way home within minutes of leaving the coffee shop. . .He is now asleep in bed, and I am praying that he stays that way!!!

It's 3 a.m. . .why the heck am I up? I've been up for an hour or so. . .
Anyway, Bren and I went to a neat party last night. Teresa and Keith were finally able to adopt Hailey (5) and Josh (3) after having them as foster kids for two years, and we all celebrated. What a lucky family. . .Bren had so much fun playing with them (as always), and he also hit it off with their cousin Kolby (4).
Well, I have to keep up with him tomorrow, so I had better be trying to go back to sleep.

Not much in the mood for writing, but here are some pics of Brennen at his last day of summer t-ball today:
