Really Tired!
We had a wonderful weekend with my brother, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew visiting. Exhausting, but great.
The kids just love being together so much (and the grown-ups don't mind it either). Darcy just loves Laura and wants to be a big girl just like her. Laura was still on our front steps on Friday night when Darcy stood right in front of her and asked, "Laura, how's school?" She kept asking her the same question repeatedly. Finally Laura looked at Lynn and said, "Why does she keep asking me that?" Funny stuff.
Nick and Steve worked incredibly hard most of Saturday to replace our rickety old front steps. We've now got a sturdy set of great looking stairs to welcome you to our home, if you're ever in the neighbourhood! I'm so happy about that.
If you're looking for a fairly cheap, family-friendly place to have dinner with several kids with you, we'd highly recommend Pizza Hut. We got a family feast there for $40 which included 2 pizzas, a bowl of pasta, salad and garlic bread. Pretty sweet deal.
We went to a couple of different parks to let the kids play. Nick barbecued some delicious steaks on Sunday afternoon (the kids had hot dogs). Good times all around.
After everyone left last night, the three of us had a quiet family dinner (leftover Pizza Hut, of course). Halfway through dinner Darcy said, "Hey, look at that little fellow!" Her chair gives her a good view of the backyard so we both turned expecting to see a squirrel or a bird in the backyard. There was nothing there. We asked her what she meant and she said, "Right there, on the pretend TV." Hey! I thought we had a no TV at dinner time rule.
We've got lots of pictures from the weekend but we didn't get them uploaded last night. Maybe tonight.

Definitely good times and good food!
Laura's alarm clock is a few minutes faster then ours. When her alarm goes off, she comes into our room and waits for my alarm. She usually grabs a photo album, and climbs onto the bed to look at it. This morning, she climbed in, and fell asleep in the few minutes it takes my alarm to come on!
And I had to wake Lucas up at 8:30am, so we wouldn't be late for school! They didn't fall asleep until after 11pm!
Oh dear! I hope she was feeling up to "Leader Day" at school today!
Mmmmm pizza hut... it's been a while. I just found your site, so thought I would say hi. Hi! :)
