Mommy's Girls' Weekend

I didn't see much of Dennis today since I spent the majority of my day at the lake with Ellen and Allison. I worried about him while I watched the radar indicating bad storms near our house, but David reports that they had a little tornado party in the hall with toys and blankets and pillows, and even Dennis' play table set up there. When I got home, Dennis ran to the door and nearly tore it apart trying to open it for me and then gave me a fierce leg hug. I stretched out on the couch and he told me "go to sleep, Mommy" and covered me up with a blanket. He had trouble unfolding the blanket and covering all of me with it and demanded "put toes IN Mommy!". He worked at it, chanting "night night sweet dreams" and "Mommy sleepy". And just when I had gotten very comfortable and snuggled in, he jumped on me and yelled "WAKE UP MOMMY WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!". Brutal.
