We've had a pretty full weekend. Friday night was the program for bible school. The girls really had fun attending all week. The program was cute, too. There were a TON of kids there. Over a hundred, though I don't remember how many they said. Then Monica's friend, Tara, spent the night. The girls were up until 3:30, trashing my house. When they woke up, I made them clean the messes up, and they did. Didn't even gripe too much.
Saturday, Kevin and I spent a couple of hours (while thepartiers cleaned their mess,) cleaning all of the windows on the back porch, taking out storm windows and screens and really cleaning. My view is even better now. Then I took the girls shopping with their $100 gift cards that they received for having perfect attendance at summer school. Monica spent $94, Natalie spent $54. They both got little digital cameras that came with software to do neat things to them online. I taught them how to use the software, and they had a lot of fun, taking pictures of everything. Monica got an EZbake oven, Natalie got a snowcone maker. I can't list everything, but it was fun to see them spend that money!
Saturday night, we attended a party at a work friend's house. Only stayed a couple of hours, since I was paying a sitter and didn't know more than a handful of people there. It was fun, but I was ready to head home. We got home and Linda had asked if the girls could spend the week in Carthage, so we packed them up. It's only 5 days this time, so it's not so depressing.
This morning, we got up early so Kevin could head South, meeting his mom half-way to hand over the girls. They had a HARD time waking up at 6:30. They made the trip fine, and Kevin was home by 11:00. I already miss them! Then we went to mom and dad's, so Kevin could find out where my van was losing coolant.
It took him and dad quite a while, since that van is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to work on, but they got it fixed (it was a freeze plug) and then he changed my oil. I'm good to go now! While we were there, I programmed dad's garage door openers, fixed the little weird problem on the kid's computer at mom's house, and ate the HECK out of tomatoes.
Tonight, we had mom and dad over for dinner. BBQ chicken, twice-baked potatoes, and corn on the cob. It was awesome, I gotta say. Then we visited for a while, sitting on the deck. It was a full, great day. Back to work tomorrow. It's so dang hot that I'm glad the grass isn't growing much. Kevin didn't have to mow in this, which is good, since Toonguy told us not to! I didn't do any weeding, either!
