Charlotte's Bday

Charlotte's birthday party was on Friday night. It was a really great time. I borrowed a bouncy castle from a woman I work with, but the kids mostly just had a great time hanging out with each other. It's so nice how well they all get along. A lot of them only see each other at our parties, but they just pick right up where they left off last time.

We had a garage sale on Saturday morning that was a complete flop. I made all of $10 in four hours. The kids had fun though (although Ben looks a little sullen in this picture) and it was something I'd been promising them we'd do. So I can check that off my summer to-do list.

Today was Dana's first day of teacher's college, so the St. Louis kids hung out with me, Ben and Charlotte up at Sibauld Point Provincial Park. It was a fantastic day. It started out with the most cooperative sand-castle building, and quickly turned into water and mud fights. I think we all came home hot, tired and filthy. My kids had a bath and crashed pretty quickly. I hope you had a good first day Dana. I'm so proud of you!
