Another (almost) cleaning-free day

We finally made it out to the lake for a little bit today. We didn't stay for very long - only a couple of hours - but it was still nice to get out of the house for a while.

After we got home from the lake and got most of the wet nasty sandy stuff into the washer, a friend dropped her son off with us for the night. She is spending the night at Girl Scout camp with her daughter and she's watched my boys before, so it's nice to be able to help her out for a change. He's Alex's age, but unfortunately they haven't gotten to play together much tonight since Alex refused to eat supper and got sent to bed early.

I did have a slight crisis tonight while making supper. Stupid ceramic tile floor claimed yet another victim.

*sigh*

Going to work on getting them all to bed soon....need to get up at a reasonable hour in the morning, get the older 3 off to their father's house, get the extra one ready to be picked up by his mom, and then Alex and Daniel and I have some running to do all day tomorrow, potentially ending with a picnic in Wichita in the evening. I still need to finish putting the bathroom back together and clean the laundry room and clean off my porches, and then I can pretty much say that my house is officially ready for vacation.

6 days....
