Daily Doings

To all you bloggers with children, you have my admiration. I'm not sure how to juggle entertaining the kids, catching teachable moments, staying up on the housework, and photographing and posting about it all.

Jeff and I have had two of my nieces for the past week. We will have them only one more week before rendezvousing in Oklahoma to reunite them with their sisters and mother.

So far we have done the following:

Enjoyed a free lunch at Chik-fil-a courtesy of their "Cow Appreciation" day celebration (it required dressing like a cow).

The chicks have signs that read "Just one of the herd" and "No chickens here!"

Prepared a nice Friday night table setting and dinner.

Taken in a baseball game (and the requisite hot dogs, salty pretzels, popcorn, and cotton candy).

  1. We blog at midnight every other month :-)
    Sounds like you entertained the girls mightily - I love the cow costumes.

  2. How fun! We just said goodbye on Monday to my niece and nephew after two weeks of fun and exhaustion! I'm STILL catching up on our laundry and housework. :) Have fun!

  4. I have been looking forward to your blog entry about the girls coming since Fleda told me you guys were going to keep them during camp. Sounds like you have had fun! Some of us don't juggle it all as well as we should (lol-me! I work full time too!) Hope you enjoy the rest of the week with them.

  5. Sounds like fun! By the way, pulling images off the Internet is one time saving trick.
