Evelyn just had to have this nice stuffed dog....
Charlotte Claire has a new bathing suit!
Most people probably had a nice picnic today....but not us. The older kids were pretty tired from their weekend away, with the late nights and early mornings. It was brilliantly sunny, not humid, but warm and breezy. Just gorgeous. So after I did some work and laundry, I went outside with the kids. We took a dip in the hot tub, then sat in the sun, talked to some of the older ones....then after lunch, I took a trip to Walmart and bought a new tv. We have been without one all summer, which has been fine, except missing the Olympics. We have borrowed Ben or Joe's tv to watch movies occasionally (we don't have cable, they don't have antennas, they use the tvs for video games)....so, with school starting, and Jon wanting to watch Bob The Builder and Sesame Street sometimes, I decided we could get one. So we got a smallish flatscreen tv, and got rid of our old cabinet, which was cheap to begin with, and was looking pretty shabby. We have the new tv set up on the coffee table until we can get something else. I can imagine it will be a while....
Well, Camille has a terrible diaper, so bye for now....
Dinner tonight: Excellent!!!! I bought a few roasts, just bottom round roasts, for $1.99 a pound the other day. And I cut them into steaks, and marinaded them in Teriyaki for a few hours. Emily made some ratatoullie (spelling?), and we had corn on the cob....it was soo good. And everyone was here except Benjamin. Actually, he was here, but not feeling too well.....Em had the day off. So it was really nice, to have so many here for dinner.....and nowhere to rush off to after dinner. Then, while we were eating, my mother and father in-law came over. She made homemade sauce with zuchini, some pasta, and a chocolate coconut bundt cake with vanilla icing....which didn't last very long (the cake, that is)....they stayed a little bit to visit. Grampa is funny, he doesn't even know which kid is who. Gramma does, though.

Sounds like us! We had no tv all summer long either. I was sad we missed the olympics, but other than that, I missed nothing. But, with the election coming up, I just wanted to be informed, so the tv is back. LOL
Glad you had a lovely dinner surrounds by the whole family.
Don't kids just love playing in boxes! - mine will play all day with one!
I still have a large box sitting in my dining room in which the adorable doll's pram was shipped.. my girls keep asking what I'm going to do with it..(the box AND the pram!!) Does Camille want it? (the Box) If not, I'll offer it to Grace tomorrow..
PS.. My husband's parents are coming to visit this weekend, so can I borrow a couple of kids? (to clean.. hahahaha)
