Catching up again . . .

Duane's blog pretty much covered the weekend with the exception to another crash by Deanna. She was sitting on the couch "playing video game" with Devin and just crumpled.

Yesterday was Max's birthday and the gift I ordered (new flash for her camera) is not arriving until Wednesday, so the kids and I went to WalMart and picked up some fishing stuff for her. Devin got a Sponge Bob bobber and Desirae got a Dora for our fishing trip on Friday. Max came home from work HOT and tired and decided to join the kids in the pools. They thought that was just grand and Darci even joined them.

The kids signed a card for Max and were very pleased with themselves and the lures and fly boxes they wrapped in computer paper and put in a WalMart bag. We have BBQ hot dogs, ships and salads for dinner followed by a huge chocolate eclair for each of us.

We had a power outage, which the kids took well. Should not have happened, but we had way too much running at the same time and tripped the main breaker. It was an easy fix and we were powered back up in a few minutes.

Devin and Desirae are having a great time during the day, but are having some difficulty when it comes to going to bed - hopefully we can get it worked out. I am hoping when Desirae wakes up she still does not want to go home. The kids may just be at an age that being away from Mommy is difficult. Devin has been fine, but Desirae got him upset a bit last night. They are still sleeping - so maybe a good nights sleep will make everything better. We will video with Mommy today and see what happens.

Later . . .
