...started at 6..SIX.. AM... in the MORNING. The two older kids woke up early to start they're fun-filled day. Kevin says it's just excitement about being in a new place. Maybe so. We sent them downstairs to watch cartoons while we tried to get in a few extra zZzZ, but their little tummies were growling for food about 7. The funny thing is that Silas slept 'til past 8, which rarely ever happens! Anyway, why am I talking about sleep? or lack thereof :)
Sleep aside, we had a great day. Having two extra older kids at home really isn't as hard as I anticipated. Silas loves the company, and I'm freed up to get more done around the house. Plus, the kids have been really well-behaved and helpful around the house. So far still so good :) Here are some pics from our day...

| Making Fruit Kabobs to go with our ham and cheese sandwiches (Silas was napping, of course). |
 |
| The finished product with yummy fruit dip |
 |
| After Silas' nap we went to the pool to work off some energy. |
 |
| Silas prefers collecting rocks over swimming. His friend Gracie was helping him. |

 |
| Came home for baths and dinner- chicken quesadillas with corn and black beans (Note: This meal was a huge hit with the kiddies. Recipe recommended. I let the chicken cook in the slow cooker all day and threw the quesadillas together in a flash this afternoon). |
 |
| Then off to VBS- Saddle Ridge Ranch! |
 |
| Silas and I followed the Kindergartners around. Here's Silas during song time- one of his favorite activities. |
 |
| Then off to see our campfire cooks for some cornbread and beans. |
 |
| And finally, time to watch Dad get dunked in the dunking booth! |
And now... Time for bed!
Until Tomorrow,
