Miscellany Monday

1. We had a very busy weekend. Friday evening Austin and Amanda each had two friends over. Plus we had a sibling group of three (one with autism) who were staying for the weekend so their parents could have a weekend out together. Add to all this the regularly scheduled daycare kids and it was busy.

Friday evening the weather was beautiful and the kids could be outside. Doug grilled steaks for everyone and we had a good, if somewhat hectic, time.

2. Amanda made a big sign in chalk in front of the garage that says "Toby's Garage." Toby is her cat and she has been having an ongoing "discussion" with Doug about whether the garage is his or the cat's.

3. Amanda bought two more WebKinz at Wal-Mart Saturday bringing the total to 33. She is obsessed with WebKinz and spends a lot of time on line taking care of these little creatures.



4. Michael is the official silverware handler around here. He puts them away out of the dishwasher and always wants to put the spoons in the bowls at breakfast.
