Nut factory


This photo pretty well sums up our weekend so far...nuts! My kids are crazy!
We are actually having a pretty good weekend. So far, we have learned about pack rats -- not the ones who live with us who collect odd objects and make their rooms messy, but the real kind --since grandma had one in her garage and she successfully trapped him using some beads! We have also used Quincy's pool pass...and although we spent an hour looking for Quincy's life jacket so she could go off the diving boards (which she insisted she wanted to do) she will not do it! She keeps getting right to the end of the board, looking at the water and then saying nooooo not now. She backs up the line, and was not too popular among the kids there! She wouldn't even do it when my cousin jumped in and offered to catch her. I am rather happy that she displays a little bit of fear - it makes my life a little more comfortable knowing she won't jump in even with the life jacket since she does not know how to swim!
Colin and Cam each had a friend spend the night last night. They were very well behaved and the only real problem I had with them was that since they spent the whole night playing video games they were not too eager to get out of bed so I could deliver them back home before church this morning. I did manage to get them home and we were not late for mass!
Jim and the boys attempted another trip to uncle Tom's house to fish for bass, but again failed in the mission because a storm blew in just when they got there. The storm didn't turn out as strong as they thought it would so they fished in the city lake again....Quincy did not catch anything this time, but Preston caught a huge monster blue gill - the biggest one they had ever seen. Colin is saying he won't get a haircut until he catches a 10 pound fish....considering that the largest fish he has ever caught was 9 pounds I am starting to think he will look like a hippy very soon!
