Road Trip Day 32

We all slept in a bit this morning. A catch up day. Need to do some laundry, mop the floor. it is a bit cloudy so we aren't sure if it will rain. Better check to see if the flies are biting. I set out after everyone had breakfast and the twins were changed for hopefully the last grocery run. Then off to update my blog. Randy was reading a book about trucks to the twins as I left. Warms my heart. It sure is nice to have this alone time. Always a bit rushed as I don't want to hold everyone else's fun up while they wait on mom.

I took everyone but Kay to a park to play. She wanted to read. The park wasn't much but they had diggers. I called and talked to all the Michigan friends I will be seeing in a few day. So excited that Saturday is but a few days away. Can't wait to get the kids together to play. the Touw's have two little ones under three. Kay will be loving on everyone and the twins will love the playmates.

I also got to speak to my spiritual mom. I am so blessed to hav Siola in my life. We will definately be praying together. I am expecting great things.

I took the older kids to Conner's house again to play the Wii. Had some rules for Reye. He is getting quite crafty in manipulating the situation so he gets to play forever. Well it didn't go well. He talked Conner into giving him one more turn, one more this and that for almost and hour and a half. Kay was in tears because she didn't really get to play. Well Reye has lost his privilege to play on Conner's Wii for the rest of the trip.

We came back to the house for some Barbecue Chicken and Potatoes. Randy did an amazing job. I had got him some different charcoal that burned hotter an faster than he was use to. Last grilling was a little over done. This one was perfect. Randy is a quick study.

Then crazy adventurer Randy went and got a ladder so the kids could climb into the tree for their rope swing. Scared eme to death hearing them talking about how to not be body slammed into the tree.

I let Reye walk over to Conner by himself for the sleep over.

Bedtime was fun. It is so great to just have Randy in the house rather than the studio. He checked on Petra in the bath, put a diaper on a freshly bathed child and helped with PJs. All the while I was doing dishes, folding clothes and handling the other twins needs. Really helps to keep the frustration down when Mom doesn't have to run in three directions at the same time. Hope we can keep some of this team work going at home.

Once all settled into bed the twins were like two worms just wiggling all over me. We sang songs and tickled. Kay really wanted to join in on the fun but I knew 4 in the bed would just be crazy. We laughed and laughed at Sherman. He started to eat the mommy, saying yum, yum, cake. Life doesn't get any batter than that. I'm cake.

Sherman and Grant have very strong opinions about what songs they like. If you start one they don't want they just shout, no,no. Most requested was Stars and Bah, bah, black sheep. I snuck in Jesus Love me. They like the Bible part.
