what a day....

I decided to finally get the oil changed on the van, since it was like 2000 miles over the recomended time...so, to Wal-mart we went. "We" consisting of Joseph, who needed sneakers (a 17 year old kid who doesn't mind Walmart sneakers is a keeper), Margaret, Kathryn, Jonathan, Charlotte Claire, Camille, and I. We also got the normal Walmart things like bananas, milk, bread....a few things off the $3 rack for Jon to wear to kindergarten...and various other things we didn't know we neeed.....afterwards I took them to McDonalds, again! Kathryn, Charlotte Claire, and Camille....

Kathryn Grace with Camille....down the slide...

She likes to climb up onto chairs when she is bye-bye, too.

Yeah, so we went out and about again today. Jon said we needed to buy something that started with the letter "s", and I had to guess what it was....I finally gave up, and good thing, too, because I don't think I every would have guessed "C" batteries....

We are starting to move things out of the livingroom so we can start on the floor tomorrow. Mirielle is very sick with what I think is the flu. She started out with a tickly cough, and now has a fever of almost 104. Mali had it this week, too, but her fever wasn't quite as high. The three youngest kids had their flu shots. I wish we all had gotten them.
