These were the odors surrounding us as we soaked inthe hot tub last night and let the kids play together inside.  Everything was quiet, except for the strange shrieks and thumps coming from the family room.  (“Is that dogs, or the kids?” I asked the hubby with concern.  Loud laughter confirmed the latter and we continued to enjoy our soak.)  They stayed up talking and giggling until very late, but still managed to wake up before 9.  This early hour is unheard of, normally.  They’ve eaten a nice breakfast, had some more playtime, and are boo-hooing about having to say goodbye to each other.

Dog is thrilled because she got some bacon grease on her dog food.  Hubby’s looking forward to a few hours alone in the house.  I’ll stop in and visit with some friends, myself, and the kids will probably find an excuse to not go home for awhile and prolong the playtime.  It’s all good.
