And back at the ranch...

Just to give you an idea of what we have been up to since you have been gone...


This is the fort that Therese and the kids made to watch a movie in last night. The mattress now has little butter grease marks from popcorn, but not too bad. Michaella, Josiah, Neiko and I also told stories in it before they went to bed. As for the current picture- the kids have been playing WAY too many video games today... this picture was taken before breakfast. We are cutting them off to finish making the movie we started yesterday. The plot has to do with a leaf pile that makes people disappear- Therese thought of the plot, and won the vote. My plot, having to do with a house that keeps relocating to different parts of the world, did not give a single vote. Ivy and Hannah's plot of "Princesses in a castle" came in second.



Speaking of the two, this is Hannah and Ivy playing with My Little Ponys in the closet...They have been playing really well together. Ivy told Hannah that she should call Therese 'Mom' because they are sisters now. They also declared their best friendship on the swingset a couple of hours ago...but then Ivy would not share a pony or play because she said she was feeling mean...so it is a complicated relationship.


The boys playing in the room- all in all I would say everyone is pretty happy so far, and we really haven't had to discipline anyone really- just vague threats to get everyone to clean the rooms and brush their teeth this morning. They of course loved your pictures that you posted. Hope you guys arrive without being too tired- I'm sure Dave is anxious for you to get there. Your children are doing well though.
