The Great Kid Trade

This has been a marathon week.  No rest for the weary!  Today, to culminate the whole deal, we had Fun Night after school (sponsored by the 8th grade teachers), then I came home to fix a quick supper and send Meg and Robbie to Muncie. 

What to do with Ryan while they are gone tonight?  Knowing a teensy bit about little boys, I decided that we would have a fire in the burner on the patio and burn up some yard trash.  Well!  I didn't get to the biggest branch in the yard in time to get it cut up for the burner, but we burned smaller stuff....and paper, and foam bowls and plates and cups...and anything Ryan could get his hands on.  He kept talking to the fire, and whenever something flamed up, he cheered, "Yes!"  It worked!  He's in the bathtub now.  He has opted to sleep in Grandma's bumpy bed tonight, since his sister is gone.  Grandma has to get up early tomorrow, but he and Mommy don't.  I hope the day goes well for them...

I will be at Coats for Kids all day tomorrow.  I'm a little worried about it since my feet haven't totally recovered from last Sunday...but we'll git 'r done.  My grades are due on Monday and I can't get the software to do what I want it to do.  I really need to go there on Sunday and get stuff done, but I may be doing the zoo thing with Meg and Ry.  Who is going to do the laundry and clean the house???????  I need a maid!  (Would have to clean just to make things ready for a maid.  That's bad!)

Oh!  Found the parmesan cheese jar on the floor in the hallway today.  Hmmm...wonder how that happened.  It appears that the top was chewed, although not breeched.  Frodo the Junkyard Dog strikes again!
