Erwin and I woke up from our fabulous nap in crisp, clean sheets to get ready for a trip to one of the biggest malls in the world which was right across the street. We began our chore of waking the kids from their siesta. “Ethan - let’s go….get up. Papa and Grama are waiting for us we have to go.” I tried, Erwin tried. I tried again. Erwin tried again. Ethan ended up standing there with eyes closed after much threatening and pulling and pushing. Erwin did his usual "knock it off and get up!" I did my pulling off of the blankets and tickling his feet. He managed to sit on the side of the bed, closed eyes mind you, grabbed his pants and put them on over his other pants he had on. He got them to his knees and fell asleep sitting there. I was anticipating a blow-up between Dad and our pre-teen son. But not so. During all of this Abby was still asleep and no matter what we promised to buy her, she wouldn’t budge. Seriously, not moving an inch. Erwin knew immediately that they were not going to be able to wake up and made the decision. (Thank goodness!) A call was made to Mom and Dad that we were not going to be able to join them for this outing. Impossible. I was so glad that he recognized this and I didn’t have to point it out. Ethan took off his two pairs of pants and got right back in bed. Abby slept for 12 hours and Ethan slept for 14 hours straight. Super glad they we didn’t force them to wake up. That would have been a whole other entry.
During this crazy nap the kids were taking, Er and I ordered room service. A ham, sausage and pepperoni pizza and a banana split for dessert. It was so funny. The pizza came and there was ham. There was pepperoni. But the sausage…. It took Er 2 seconds to notice it was not our sausage. Vienna sausages it was. Lol…We were in the Philippines. The banana split was yummy looking! I couldn’t wait to eat it. Erwin had an issue. “Who puts marshmallows on banana splits? And they must have run out of chocolate ice cream. There was a scoop of vanilla, a scoop of strawberry and right in the middle was a scoop of Cookies and Cream. We were laughing. It was a nice little dinner we had. PI cost 1800 pesos = US $42
