It has been a busy house as of late. My sister and Jeff came up Thursday afternoon with the kids. Jeff left on Sunday morning and will back up here on Friday of this week. Aunt Barb & Uncle Dennis had to go back downstate for Aunt Dot's funeral, so Kyle is staying here with us till they return tonight. So yes, a busy housefull of kiddies.

Yesterday I decided to take my 3 boys plus Kyle shopping in the Soo. 3 stores and 1 bank visit. Call me crazy but I had things I needed to get done. I had faith in the boys and their behavior and they did not disappoint in the slightest. All 4 of them were great.

Rewinding a few days to the weekend of the 4th. Ryan was busy from Wednesday on preparing for the fireworks. As my friend said, he had a perma-grin on his face after the fireworks show. My only regret is that since he was down lighting off the works, that he couldn't be with the boys & I watching them.

My folks may be home by this weekend. They've been gone quite awhile so I know my boys will be really excited see them.

K, have to get dinner going.
