Tons of pics, sitting on the computer...perhaps tomorrow. Water in basement turned out to be a big deal, turned into a mini flood of about 5-6 inches throughout-ugh, double ugh. House has been in such disarray anyway, this just added fuel to the fire. Everyday I am more and more stressed about trying to shove 9 people into a space perhaps for 5, but know I am blessed to have the home that I have and that I am better off than 95% of the worlds population...Oh, but the fridge! I would like a bigger fridge, just a little bigger... How I am enjoying these lazy days with my children! I guess I am spending my time deschooling them and myself, not to much really going on here. The babies take up a majority of my day, but we are all in it together, living, loving, and learning along the way. I spent the morning with my dear friend, lamenting over, and trying to solve, the problems with the foster care system; home to make lunch and put tired babies to bed.; started a book; the girls planned a sleepover birthday party; had 'make your own sundaes'; had a theological discussion with my beloved; kids rode bikes, played outside, made movies outside, sewed doll pillows, and started constructing a doll playground. Finally inside for dinner and then more neighbor play, babies to bed (to bed fred!) and jammies and Zoey 101...and a little more birthday party planning. I am so very, very lucky to lead this very blessed life!
