I think we need a weekend to recover from our weekend. We jumped into Friday evening with the arrival of my sister and brother-in-law's four children. They were delightful and extremely busy. Thank God for video games and television. We "plugged" them in to the electronic babysitters rather frequently, just so we could take a break. Andy and Luke really enjoyed the extra excitement, not to mention all the additional time we spent outside. The best way to entertain 6 children is to try and take them on a combination bike and scooter adventure around the neighborhood. It wears them out quickly and keeps the adults sane, too. We finally got smart and put them to work on Saturday morning, helping Steve spread 5 yards of bark dust around our yard. The kids begged to stay another night, but the grown-ups resisted. Steve and I were worn out, but managed to finish the landscaping project by night fall. After church on Sunday, we had tickets to a minor league baseball game. The weather was crummy but we lasted nearly 8 innings. We also discovered that Andy loves potato chips. This is significant data because Andy has flat refused to eat anything that isn't pureed and in a Gerber baby food jar. Hmmm.
