Kids, Kids, Everywhere!

Today, after our Civil War Field Trip (check it out two postings below!), we headed to drop off Tracey & the kids. Sean had planned a weekend away for he & Tracey, for their anniversary, and we took the kids. It took a bit of planning to get everything into place, but we pulled off the surprise (EVEN when Jeremy almost blew it last night!!).

Bill bailed us out by warning Sean we were on the way home early...and Sean was able to bail out of the house so it was empty when we got there. It couldn't have played out more beautifully, as Sean pulled in with a dozen pink roses, and a nice card. She was very surprised. I headed to pick up the girls from school, and they took off.

We got everyone packed up, and headed back to our house for some good ol' Sweet Home Slip & Slide. It's amazing what fun some heavy black plastic, a bottle of dish soap and a hose will create. It was great fun for them.



After Alyona had some cooling off, she asked Bill for a piece of wood for a bridge she had to make for science. They headed off to the barn, and before we knew it, there was a full scale project going on!! She worked hard on her project , as well as Bill!! She will finish up tomorrow...we'll try to remember to take a picture.





We wound down the night with a movie....boy, that new couch holds all seven and then some (not that we need anymore!). You can see where Bill took to hiding! Sean fixed him up with some shows to watch on his laptop...so he's hiding in the bedroom!!
It has finally dropped to 80 degrees at 10pm...maybe we will sleep tonight! Thankfully, those temps don't include the humidity....so we're thankful for that.

Enjoy the pictures....and look for more fun this weekend!
