Thanks for the Suggestions and the Troops are here.

Had some great suggestions in response to last night's post.  Rick suggested there might be a few trips to the grocery store so I went to Costco this morning and got the BIG sizes!  He also suggested we oil the refrigerator door…also done.  Sounds like you and Paulette have had a bit of experience, eh?

Shoeless Joe thought I might want to get my roller skates out so I could keep up.  I tried John, I really did, but about the third time my keister hit the deck I decided I better just hoof it.  Besides, the skates of today have all the wheels right down the middle!!  Thanks for the idea though!!

Jerry and Suzy thought the kids might be feeding me a serving of exhaustion along with the fun.  Have to say you’re right about that but I’m trying to keep my exhaustion calories to a minimum.

The Good Luck Duck had a great offer of…well, maybe I’ll just leave you to read her comment!!  Sounds good to me LOL!!

Actually, it’s not going too badly but since this is only the first day of all four girls and two guys, we’ll see how it goes.  Thankfully, they are finding things to do that each enjoys and not all have to do the same thing.

  Bekah, Emmie, and Brendan made a beeline for the pool.  The water was up to 85F today but even so, it took a little getting used to.











In the end there’s really only one way to enter a pool.



Anna, Cailin, and Corbin baked a cake and did a fine job of it.  AND they cleaned up their mess!



So with one day down and 9 to go, we’re off to a good start.
