We picked up Ethan, Audrey and Isaac on Wednesday afternoon and things have been a busy blur since then. They went to work with me in the mornings on Thursday and Friday, then we came home for some quiet time/naps before we headed outside to play until later in the afternoon. I had to go to the play in the evening, so Grampa was in charge from supper time on.

Today we did a bit of cleaning and organizing before Nathan and Amy arrived a bit before 11. The kids were glad to see them, especially their Dad whom they hadn’t seen for  2 weeks! Dad wanted to used the extra help to move the grand piano across the street, so we did that and now some of them are moving lumber from the neighbor’s house (we bought it from them when they moved) and others are down playing at the school playground, so I have a little time to sit and relax. I just started supper, so that is my real excuse!

Another show performance tonight and then tomorrow I finally get a night off. I’m so excited to be able to crawl into bed at about 9:00 and listen to “Old Time Radio” until I fall asleep. Every night I have a show, I get to bed at just about exactly 11:00, which is a good hour later than I would normally go to bed. So it is beginning to wear me down. Just have to last through next Friday evening.  Then the real summer vacation will begin!
