Today was a nice Saturday. By 8 am the little boys were asking to go outside. I let them go and I am glad they did because it was soon raining and rained most of the rest of the day.
Dan and Haylee and Joseph went into work today. Dan works for the local police dept and today they were cleaning the patrol cars. The children worked hard and were tired when they came home. A good kind of tired and they felt good about what they accomplished. When they got home Dan started packing up one of the computers. He and Tom are going up to the lake to play icky computer games. You know, war kind of stuff that I just can't stand. Renee' (Tom's wife) is coming over tonight and we are going to scrapbook. In the past the four of us have gone to the lake together for a couples weekend. On these weekends the boys set up their computers in one room, we ladies set up our scrapbooking supplies in another room and we see our spouses at meal time. With a baby, I just didn't feel it would work for me and Renee and I thought the boys would really be able to relax if we weren't their. That and the fact that they like to eat food that...well chili and beans and the like. Do you know what I am saying.

We figure we will give the cabin time to air out and then take our turn.

Our good friend Jackie came over tonight also to scrapbook. It was a nice night of sitting around the table, looking at photos and just visiting.

Well, looking at the time I realize I should get some sleep. It is almost midnight. Hilarie will be up in a couple hours and the children arise early no matter what day it is.
