And we had a marvelous time!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My dad built the girls a teepee from the branches and brush of fallen trees left by the wind storm.&nbsp; So we made decorations (buttons and bells on strings) and hung them up in the teepee.&nbsp; The girls LOVED the project, and we were highly entertained, as well (I&#8217;ll try to post pictures soon).<\/li>\n<li>We watched some television, and the girls enjoyed showing us all the exciting stuff they&#8217;ve been doing at Gramma and Papa&#8217;s house.&nbsp; Their bedroom is such a big deal (Holly&#8217;s on a trundle bed next to Kelly), and my dad cut open a big box for them to use as a playhouse\/puppet show, too.&nbsp; They even did a bit of a puppet &#8220;show&#8221; for us.&nbsp; Too cute!<\/li>\n<li>After supper, Karen helped Kelly do her homework.&nbsp; This week is &#8220;B&#8221; week in kindergarten, so they&#8217;re focusing on words that begin with that letter.&nbsp; They cut and colored and pasted pictures of &#8220;B&#8221; things on a big baseball (see&#8230;more B&#8217;s); it was very exciting.&nbsp; Holly and I watched a Backyardigans video while they worked.&nbsp; It was a good thing Karen&#8217;s an elementary school teacher!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And when I got home late last night, I walked into my house to see that Eric had spent his evening cleaning up the kitchen and living rooms.&nbsp; They were CLEAN.&nbsp; And it was such a nice surprise to come home to.&nbsp; Sadly, he was already asleep when I climbed into bed, so I had to wait until this morning to thank him.&nbsp; He&#8217;s so great!<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s about all I have for now.&nbsp; Have a great Thursday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think that&#8217;s where my family was yesterday, especially my brother and parents.
