Kids

Nathan delivered the children to my house this morning about 10:30. Meg was supposed to come at 11:00, so the kids were in eager anticipation...but then I got an email that she would be here at noon. Ryan insisted that I set the timer so he would know when noon would be. He watched the timer like a hawk...and when it went off, he and his sister were out the door waiting for Mommy to arrive. She was 15 minutes late...but oh my gosh! They were SO excited, the anticipation was causing them to act up outside.

After a "walking taco" lunch, Meg took Ryan to get his hair cut while Robin and I took back a pair of shoes that I had purchased for her but she said hurt her feet. While Robin and I were out, we also picked up some paint for a little craft project--painting a little box that I had given her to put treasures in. Meg called in the meantime to ask me to pick up some Benadryl because Ryan had a swollen tongue. Huh?? Sure enough, the under side of his tongue on one side looks like a huge blister full of fluid. Meg took him to the Immediate Care place down the street from here, but there was a line. She was going to take Robin out to look for a winter coat after she got back with Ryan. Robin and I went to the Immediate Care place to trade places. I waited with Ryan for the doctor while Robin and Meg went coat shopping. Thereafter, Meg left to go back to Terre Haute to take an online test.

I had fixed a corned beef dinner (Robin's favorite), so the children and I ate well. We were going to carve pumpkins after din-din. Au contraire! I could NOT get a knife into either pumpkin. Never had a pumpkin I couldn't carve! We broke out the paints again and painted the stupid pumpkins!

We watched a little TV, ate a little popcorn, had some homemade ice cream sundaes, and watched a little more TV. Then bed. Everyone is down, but no one is asleep. We are going to early church tomorrow. Hope they conk out soon! I know I'm ready...
