It seems as though lately we have been so busy running and running. Thankfully the kids are experts at this and are FAIRLY good with getting dragged here and there. But, between finishing fathers day gifts - yes, finishing them, with 5 grandpa/great grandpa's between the girls and an involved project, it is just getting finished - and my recent love of clematis plants for the yard, I have been on a several quests. However, Jay gave orders of strictly wanting to not make any plans this weekend. Since he has been working virtually weeks straight I will afford him that. I am doing my part at not making any plans. We do need to have some family time together. This weekend should be good for that.

Poor little Madeline woke up at 5 this morning, I heard her crying but didn't go in. Then at 6:10 she was up and it sounded like she was not going back to bed. Went in to get her to find that the little babe had gotten sick in her bed. Poor little bean! So this morning we spent hanging out at home to see what was going to come of Madz today. After several hours, breakast and a snack she was feeling just fine. Grandpa Al stopped by to entertain everyone. Then with the clouds making a timely disappearance we headed off to the pool. We had a great time!

This evening was filled with play outside. Just what we all like!

Thankfully tomorrow is Friday! On top of everything else, Jay and I are going to have to discuss some car options. We are making two fairly substantial car payments and we only really drive one car and Jay has his work van . . . Until we get the rest of my Dr's bills paid off we need to make some sort of adjustment. Blah!!
