Wow, time flies

I can't believe its the 28th already. A couple of our friends have gently nudged me to get back to the blog. Tonite is not a good nite to do this, cause I have a terrible cold and cough, and its bedtime after meds again. So I promise to do this during the daylite hours.

day 9

When Linda said that I hadn't posted in a whike, I was shocked it had been since the 5th. Sorry. Have been so busy with these kiddos and Mandi. Last saturday they had their winter Olympicsfor their home schoolers. Had several families with several kids each, come, and she had planned out some really cute events. The big kids were in their own groups, and the little kids their own. they won medals, and had a ball in the snow. Sunday we went to church, and then went to Marks younger sisters' house for a birthday party for their 1 yr old.
Each day is spent with lots of games and cards with the kids.
Gary and Mandi have been doing several daddy-do projects around here in between events. I am doing chores, cooking etc, in between times of games. Speaking of things to do, Isaac is beginning to fuss, and the others are waiting to play cards, so I'd better close. Gary and Mandi went for more supplies to work with. Today is Malac's 13th birthday.
More later

Having fun with the kiddos

Got here after church wed, only took 15 hrs, with stops. Mandi and Isaac were here, but Mark & kids were not home from church for about 10 min. Lots of hugs and kisses were shared. Got unloaded, and played a game of uno, then off to bed for all.
Yesterday was a good and busy day, ending with Malac's basketball awards ceremony.
Today we played all kinds of games. I have been doing all the cooking so far, so Gary & Malac have gone to get the pizza for supper at Pizza hut tonite. Mark is going to hockey game tonite, so it will be just us chickens here.
Talked to Todd, and all's well at home.
Tomorrow is the olympics they hold each yr for home schooler friends.
More tomorrow. Pizza is here, so
Luv, BJ

leaving in the morning

Today is nuts, course the last day before a trip is always nuts! Just got off the phone from talking
with the grandkids in Michigan. Mandi was sleeping, and the 4 of them were babysitting with Isaac. He had the hick ups, and it was so cute to listen to him.
The phones have been balistic today, and keeps interrupting my packing.
The weather is beautiful here, 60 degrees and sunny. Mandi is worried that her snow is melting too fast for us to see it. I told her its really ok if its gone when we get there. But they have their mini olympics this saturday with alot of events in the snow, so they need the snow I guess. I told her to have a plan be way to alter the games to be played in the event it melts, so the games will go on.
Malac turns 13 while we are there. Also Isaac is 1 month today, our little groundhog. They all sound so excited, its got me busting to get going!
More packing to do, so I'd better get going.
Later!
