"I'm having a kid-free day today", I announced to Abe this morning. So, I have done some shopping, gone to lunch with some friends and now I'm home, but not home (if you know what I mean).

Haha, I love the "Maaack!!" Boys minds never stop. They constantly come up with things that girls never think of. I have 3 nieces and when I watch them and I have all 6 kids the girls just play nice and are quiet and my boys are always getting into things and coming up with some master plan to destroy something!
I love your Crazy 8's! I realized how much I don't know about you but after reading this I think we could be RLF's.
Your doing a great job with the triplets... I'm impressed with you:)
Thanks Mel! I'm pretty sure we would be RLFs ;)
Glad you got a day off, and glad we could provide a place for Abe and the kids to come so you could get a much needed nap!
This is one of my favorite blogs of yours EVER. Seriously, I know I always tell the triplets how much I love them, but I love you a lot too!
Redo? There must a rule about redoing your crazy 8's LOL. What would you want to change? It took me forever to complete mine. It really made me think.
BTW...lucky you to have a "me" day!
