Last Friday my dad called and said to meet him half way that day and give him the boys. So we did. Well, Sam did. My parents built a new garage this year and had to have their giant wood pile moved. They had someone come in with a bulldozer and just push it all out of the way. They offer the boys the opportunity to earn some money this summer by coming and moving/ stacking all of the good wood and separating out the old, bad wood to be burned. I think the job took them all around 11 hours to complete. They did two big days and then about an hour today to finish it up. They are tired and sore and I hear they worked very hard. They also got to have some fun. They spent a day at the Sand Dunes, and some time playing in the canal. They went to a festival and saw a firework show and tomorrow they are going swimming. They will be home on Friday and I really can't wait. I have missed their cute faces so much. 
We have not worked quite so hard here but we did work. On Saturday we had a garage sale and finished cleaning out our garage. Then hauled away all of our extra junk. Our garage has never looked so good. It's kind of awesome.
Abby and her friend had a lemonade stand on Saturday and sold $44 dollars worth of lemonade. After expenses and splitting the profits Abby made $15. They also started a weeding and watering business and had their first client last weekend. They are great little business women.
The Girls also started a Literacy Program this week and Gracie starts being tutored in reading tomorrow. We've had some fun too though. 5 hours at the pool, trip to the library and today a movie and lunch. We saw Chimpanzee, then ate at CB&Pots. Tomorrow we'll do another pool day if the weathers nice. Right now we are under a tornado warning.
