Four Graces |
I was up at 6:00 though Drew beat me up by about 5 minutes; we sat and talked politics for awhile till we got sick of talking about their ineptness. Marlena was the first up, around 7:30, then Halle, about 8:00, and as of now, Marisa and Hayden are still sleeping. The other two are in the treasure chest, picking out their gifts.
We have decided to just relax here at the lake, instead of going to the Gorge, as it just sounded like it would be too much, since the girls were up so late. It sounds like a good plan. We can go any time this week, so it's no big deal.
Everyone is out of the dock, except the girls who are playing dolls on blankets on the lawn. They are all dressed in their purple dresses and they seem to move from one thing to another, whether it's swimming, playing dolls, going to the playground, playing restaurant in the water, or just going up to our bedroom where all their mattresses are, and coming up with something to play up there. They sure get along well with each other. I took the boys tubing, Tommy went windsurfing, Drew's swimming, so all are taking advantage of a great day.
Great dinner of brisket, mashed potatoes, stuffed shells, salad, garlic bread, with a vicious game of spud following. We also got the high pressure family pictures done on the first day, so that's over with, thank goodness, with no melt downs for the first time in years. I think I should have invested in Apple years a go; we have at least four Macs here, and six IPADs, inconstant use, and 8 iphones, I think, as the boys all have one.
