Lazy Summer Days
This afternoon, Rayna came blasting into the house yelling with excitement to her older sister, "Darcy! Darcy! Come see what I got!!!" I reached the front door before Darcy and I decided I'd better find out pretty quick what it WAS that she had now! She exclaimed, "a FROG!!! I caught a FROG!!!" Clearly, it was a TOAD, but that didn't lessen her joy a bit!
Later this afternoon, Rayna fell asleep in the tent that is still up in the middle of our living room floor. We removed the rain fly a few days ago so that the ceiling fan could stir the air inside the tent, too.
Sadly, the tent has to come down tonight...since Grant has band practice here tomorrow night.
When Doug got home from school today, he plopped on the sofa and went into brain coma playing the Game-Boy. He may still be there!
Grant and the kids had fun in Hannibal, MO this past weekend...down there for a band gig. I'll try to get Darcy to post some of her photos from the weekend. (I had to stay behind since I was scheduled to work.) (The weekend before this last weekend, they traveled to Iowa for a band job. Grant is getting really good at soloing with the kids on weekend trips. But, he doesn't like having to go without me...nor do I like missing so many trips...which is part of the reason I began job hunting in earnest last Wednesday. It is sure different these days...you can just e-mail your resume...so much easier than it was in the 'old days' when you went everywhere in person and filled out endlessly redundant forms by hand!) ¶ 6/19/2006 08:16:00 PM
