March 29 - Took Nana back to the airport - not the best.  But, the two little girls and I stopped by a farm park on the way home.  They had a great time sliding and viewing the animals.  We would love to take the rest of the crew on another venture to the airport via the farm park.  We will miss Nana.  Kinda quiet and loud without her here.  We all will miss her entertaining during times of rioting.  Thanks so much to Nana for making the huge effort to come visit the house in the middle of nowhere.

March 28 - Nana's last day here.  Ate at the bakery.  Nana went off the diet for the first time since being here.  She is an awesome warrior.  Had delightful savory tarts and chicken salad.  It was nice to have a lunch buddy.

March 27 - Tired kids from track practice.  Does it get any better than that?

And, more pear crisp.

March 26 - Ron's basketball games are over, so we had him home for dinner on a Monday night.  Yippee.  We grilled turkey burgers - one of my favorites and tried corn on the grill - not so much my favorite.  Had Kat's pear crisp for dessert.  We may be addicted.  Full on yumminess in a jar.

March 25 - When I tried to put Jill to bed, she reappeared and said, 

"I have a bad case of my eyes not wanting to close."

(Books can be so influential.)

March 25 - Ron and I snuck away to Springfield while Nana watched the kids.  We discovered our favorite cupcakes in Missouri.  (We've tried a few)  Gigi's in Springfield are the best we have found.  I fell in love with the lemon poppyseed cupcake.  Delish.  Thanks, Nana, for watching the crazy people at home.  

I didn't have to worry for one minute.

March 23 - Nana, the 4 oldest, and I went to Branson to see SIX.  The kids loved grabbing Freddy's before the show and all of us thought the show was fantastical.  If you ever come to see us, Kat, we are going to drag you there.  Six brothers sing accapella with all sound effects included.  

One Branson show down, a million more to go.
