All of the sudden she started hyperventilating and jumping up and down. I asked her, "What are you doing?" She responded, "Someone is here, someone is here, you will never believe it." Well I was in a hurry to eat and get out the door so I said, "Who is here....tell me!" She said that she couldn't tell me, I would have to find out. I was less than thrilled with her, so I went to open the door and my parents were standing there.
They live 4 hours away and we had no idea they were coming up for my dad's birthday. They met some friends for lunch and decided they were already half way to the cities, so why not come up and have Birthday Dinner together.
Benjy and I got on the phone and were able to cancel or reschedule our plans...It was a little crazy for a couple minutes of panic to stop everyone else in route to the meeting and skating!
We are suppose to see them this weekend, so it was a huge surprise. My parents were here for 15 hours and we had a lot of fun with them, but it was a quick trip. They said it was worth it, just to see Kaydree's eyes pop out when she saw them by accident walking up the sidewalk!
Kaydree upset again because she wanted to skip school for the next 2 days and go home with Grandpa and Grandma.
Of course we told her, "No." Poor thing. I had her hopes up that her, Karsyn and myself would go home with them but the better side of me decided we had too many committments to get out of and that we would have to wait 48 hours to see them again.
She was pretty happy by the time she left for school because she was wearing her new sweatshirt and her favorite toe socks.
She just looked so darn cute this morning! Thanks for coming up Mom and Dad! It was really fun! Kaydree says, "See you in 48 hours!"

I say it was a perfectly good reason to bail on the skating:)
