Time Flies

Things have pretty much remained the same - swimming, board games, video games, baking cookies and eating breakfast, snacks, lunch, snacks, dinner and dessert (they eat all the time). We have run across some really good games and some really not so good games) above Chutes and Ladders, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Crazy Crab). Deanna fell in love with "Crazy Crab" and "Hungry, Hungry Hippos". Chutes and Ladders was a success along with some OLD game called "Spooky Old Tree". There was another game that was only for two players - "Guess Who" that everyone liked. It is nice that the kids can all play board games and Deanna does excellent for "almost" four.

The time has flown by and Denise will be arriving today to take them home tomorrow. I have loved having them here, but it is a handful and VERY time consuming and patience trying. Makes a big difference in my life when I am used to being home alone every day. All that said, Max and I are going to miss them like crazy once they are gone. IF ONLY we lived closer, we could have them more often for shorter periods of time.

All I can say is that the pool was the best $25 investment I have made in a long time. They spent hours in the pool almost every day. Yesterday was the only day that it was actually too cool for them to go swimming (go figure Livermore in August).

Later . . .

Almost 4?!? No kidding, time flies.
I love those words: "too cool to go swimming"..Ahhhhhhhhh (still between 115-125 everday here and should be for the next month or so)
