I love my IL's :-)
Ha! Fooled you didn't I? I am just trying to keep my happy face on :-). They called DH this morning and want us to meet them for breakfast on Saturday as they pass through to go visit friends in KC. That is all fine and dandy except they have not been down here to visit since last September for Ella's birthday. BUT they can pass through to go visit friends?! I am just boiling! MIL asked me a while ago for when Ella had soccer and I sent it to her. They were all gung ho about making it down, but when I sent her the picture of Ella with her completion ribbon she said she didn't know it was over already. They always talk about wanting to come down and go to the zoo and I never discourage them because I think the girls should know them even if I don't like them. They just NEVER put forth the effort. I don't get it! It isn't even family in KC they are visiting, just a friend, but we are lucky enough to get to meet them at IHop. What gives?

Didn't fool me, I knew it was sarcasm
My two oldest (half)sisters are like that. They can't be bothered to come visit us but will make plans to stop here for lunch on their way to someplace else. Half the time, they flake out on that and drive straight through. I've given up.
Did you tell Ella they're coming or are you leaving it a surprise, just in case? I hope they stick to their plan.
Does your MIL know that you want her to be an active participant in the girls' lives? She seems like she needs to be told, "Hey, Ella has a game the following Saturday. She would love it if you were there! We can grill at our place afterwards. Would you be willing to join us?" Make it about the girls, but don't make it sound like she's just coming down to watch a bunch of little girls kick each other in the shins.
(Yes, I know you said soccer was over, but you know!)
I guess at least if they're going to be coming through, they're stopping. Imagine how ticked you'd be if they just drove through and they didn't bother to stop. People are so weird. It looks like they're no exception. lol! It's too bad that they drive for friends but not for you guys though. Maybe it's better. Less drama to deal with face to face.
I like your attitude. Happy face all the way! (That will piss them off more anyway. 
)
I know this isn't about me, but my MIL will tell me she's coming to see the girls and then not show up and not answer the phone. We've gotten to the point where we don't tell the kids, and if she shows up it's just a bonus. In laws can really suck sometimes.
