More preparations today before the "Hail, hail! The gangs all here!" Tomorrow, Jessica and I leave from our respective homes after the morning services to travel and meet in the middle between here and there! :D It still remains to be seen if Chance and Thad will actually come. I think if Chance does that Thad will, too. Michael will come regardless! Then on Monday sometime Elisabeth will bring Hannah, Ryan and Abby and we will switch out vehicles so I can have the van all week to transport all 6 kids around, assuming Chance and Thad stay.
After having the D&C yesterday, in which a HUGE polyp was removed and sent to the lab to confirm it is not cancerous, I was a good girl and rested (slept mostly) the rest of the day. And slept like a baby all night, too! That is, from 1 a.m. to about 9 a.m. I really figured after sleeping most of the afternoon that I would be up all night! So, I was ready to go and run some errands today for preparations for the grandkids coming.
First of all I stopped at Mega Thrift to find some T-shirts for wearing to VBS. From there I went to Michael's because I had a 60% off coupon that I got some adhesive with and also found some marked down 3 ring binders covered in paper so I can decorate them with scrapbook paper when needed. Then I went to Dollar Tree to look for items to make some of the ideas I posted yesterday. I didn't find any pool noodles! Booo! I did find balloons for the Balloon ping pong game. I also got some glow in the dark necklaces that I plan on using as hoops for tossing over stakes at night.
After Dollar Tree I stopped at Aldi and Walmart for some more groceries. I wanted to go to Lowes to see about the materials to make the terracotta flower pot bird bath, but I was just too stinking hot and had not yet eaten so I gave up on that idea this go around.

| I cut up sponges and a shelf liner and made these sponge water bombs. |
 |
| I cooked a pork roast all day and shredded it to have BBQs sometime this week. |
 |
| Thawing some ground turkey and hamburger for sloppy joes and tacos. I will go ahead and cook the meat so I can just grab it and finish adding the sauce, etc to it. |
 |
| I washed off the grapes. I'll put them back in their bag and store in the fridge after they dry some. |
 |
| The lunchables and some of the yogurt and lettuce for the tacos. I bought some corn chips to make a taco salad. |
 |
| Lots of water that the kids can add flavor packets to all by themselves and write their names on their bottles. |
Tim said he would take dish duty next week! I am planning on having the kids share the chore of cleaning and setting the table, too. Also, I will allow them to help me do what little cooking there will be. Can't wait for the week to begin!
