No School?!

NDEA, otherwise known to us as, MEA weekend. Yippee. Four day weekend. TROUBLE. That's was that is. It takes us two days to get used to being at home together, one day to get along and one day to prepare to return to school. The only choice I had was to put McKenzie in charge and go off to lunch with a friend. We had a lovely time and actually, while I was away, the kids played very well together. Even spent most of it outside. Music to a mother's ears. All afternoon, we anxiously anticipated Sarah and Dorothy's arrival for a sleepover this evening. Of course the climax to this event is the debut of High School Musical 3 on Friday. I secretly can't wait to see the movie!
We had a fun evening as I tooked five children to a "photo shoot". There is a young women's event coming up at church and one of the ideas was to take pics of women of all ages with no makeup on. All natural. I think it sounds really cool. Sophia and Dotty Lou got in on the action too. Isaac had a melt down when he walked into the room full of estrogen. So, Hannah had to take him out and hide in the van. Where else could a boy go? Afterwards, we picked up five girls from Olive Garden. (Mckenzie and her friends) and brought the people count in the van up to 10. Yikes.
Troy is enjoying himself in Bismarck at the NDEA conference. I love how he ends up singing karoake and eating good food all night. Sounds like hard work to me.
