Afroboy

Wednesday
Aug 29,2007

The wigs I ordered the other day have arrived. The are a little tight for adult heads, but fit the kids perfectly. Maxwell has a little dance that goes with his afro wig. I was going to get some video and post it here, but decided to wait to premiere it at the GH party.

Again with the role playing

Thursday
Aug 23,2007

I'm playing The Pope again today. All is quiet. I haven't heard any crying, yelling, or fighting in about 30 minutes. The Pope's decree before she left was that naughtiness would not be tolerated and those who violated this decree would be punished. I hope they are all breathing down there. Maybe I should go check.

Role Playing

Thursday
Aug 16,2007

So, I'm playing The Pope for a little while today while Cade goes to therapy. I'm lucky though because I only have six out of seven of the kids. It's been a little over an hour. I've heard the words cheater and liar about 300 times. Two kids have been on a time out. Two have been in tears. And I've been called the meanest person ever, twice–this by my own son. Good times. I knew day care was not my forte. I barely pulled off the stay at home mom gig.

The End

Saturday
Aug 11,2007

So, we are heading home tomorrow morning after 13 days here in Traverse City. The time spent here was nice, but we are all anxious to be home again. We'll depart around 5am in hopes of getting home early enough to enjoy an evening of Guitar Hero with Kelli. We are also traveling south through Chicago and then back through Wisconsin rather than going through the U.P.. I'm hoping there will be more to look at but I fear we might not be able to purchase any cherries. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

But apparently, AT&T thinks otherwise. Jodi brought this news to my attention.
Here's what AT&T didn't want us to hear.
