Weekend Update

Friday was a quiet night due to a horrible migraine. Anna was a great helper and fixed chili dogs for dinner.

Saturday I watched a friend's children (2, 9 & 10) so she could have a night away for her anniversary. My friend Lark and her family came over for dinner--to give me adult conversation since Kevin was on call and help out with the kids. Not that the kids were hard, but her husband helped me get the slide set up and the grill going. We grilled hamburgers, turkey burgers, hot dogs and chicken & apple sausages. But the main event was the slide. They always have so much fun on this and this was the first time of the season. Kevin showed up in the middle of it as a surprise. He has a friend at work who volunteered to take his Saturday night so he could come home. It was a nice surprise. The shots aren't all that great, but the kids didn't really want to stop and pose. Except for mine of course.

We are the popular ones on the block when this comes out.

Abby--posing as only she can!

Yesterday we made it to church--all 6 kids in tow. And because I had so many leftovers, I asked my friends Mark and Hilary to come for dinner. We had a nice evening, good food, good conversation, good company. Good times. I think their daughter Ellie, might have had the most fun. She's a year and a half and was having so much fun playing with the kids and outside.

By bedtime I was ready to collapse. And now it is Monday morning and another week has begun. Our first full week without school. I'll let you know if we all survive!!!
