Today we had a visit from some good friends! A surprise phone call this morning and a lunch playdate! It made the day go by a whole lot quicker, our days are very long here at the Livingston House!!! As many of you know our van is out of commission, been that way for about 2 weeks. This means we are borrowing my dad's truck and driving Jody's volkswagen. Since the VW only fits 4 people (including the driver), we have to drive 2 cars everywhere we go. The VW is old and I can't drive it, not for lack of trying though!!! So I'm at home mostly all day, it can get kind of hairy with a boisturous 5 year old, a sassy almost 3 year old and a tempermental 20 month old! We've had fun playing outside, having movie days (shutting the blinds & eating popcorn), playing lots of make believe games, and frequent time-outs! Needless to say when Jody gets home there are 4 smiling faces greeting him at the door!!! All in all we are thankful to use this time to spend more quality time with the girls, one-on-one and with these gas prices, why not save money! Hopefully in the next few days we will be able to figure out something else for a car, but in the meatime. . . no pictures, I can't finy my battery charger for my camera, what else is new, you'd think I'd put it in the same place so I could find it?!?!?!

Though the situation with your car stinks, I'm glad that lunches and playdates help pass the time stuck at home:)
Do you remember building forts in the little brown house??!! The whole dining room would be under blankets!! Remember that you are creating memories for your girls!
Love, Wanka
