I was up at 5:45, which proved to be just before Thomas exploded from his room. After the usual morning of kids and reading and writing stuff on the web, this was mostly a work day for me.
We took a school holiday in honor of Kayla’s imminent birthday, so the kids were running around like wild animals all day. In the afternoon, Dana and Kayla ran out for a few errands, and I had to keep the littler kids in the office with me because they were just too wild to be downstairs. It was unfortunately very hot and they got very crabby about this, but we survived.
For dinner I laid out a smörgåsbord of cold cuts, tuna sandwiches, fruit, pickles, and other goodies and just let everyone graze. Kayla pronounced it the best dinner she’d ever had.
