almost noon already?

I needn't ask where the day has gone...I made pancakes and bacon and eggs for breakfast...

We LOVED the movie, "Tangled". Char and Camille had never gone to the movies before, and they were totally transfixed and fascinated. Just looking at Camille's huge eyes glued to the screen was worth the price of admission. Of course admission for the eight of us WAS only $14, because it was the "cheap" theater....We also got the huge bucket of popcorn, and the free refill, and the large soda, which we passed around, and the free refill of that. They thanked me and thanked me, all the way home.

Before the movies, we went into Aldi, because our fruits and veggies were mostly gone. Two bags of apples and two bags of oranges and some grapes and cucumbers and romaine and some onions and a pinapple. And some frozen orange juice.

Evelyn doesn't sleep in the "kids' room" anymore, just Suzanne and Sonja and Jonathan, but she does have a continued interest in keeping that room nice. When she was in there, she was the number one cleaner. She is in there right now, drill-sargeanting them around and getting it picked up. Paul is going to move the bunk beds away from the walls so we can spackle. Finally.

Camille wants to go to the movies again after we clean up. She says she won't be fussy and grumpy, but I do not believe her. She has cried like five times already today because she stayed up too late last night.

The room cleaning is not going smoothly. I am hearing, "shut-up"s, and some slamming, and some giggling that is irritating Evelyn...they don't seem to be toeing the line. Suze told Jon to just get out, then Ev said if he leaves he doesn't get to paint, now they are unanimously kicking him out because he thinks everything is a big joke. blah.

I am thinking my time of writing is over for now....
