It should be quite an experience! 
I look forward to hearing all about it. 
And it should be quite a bit slower & quieter here today. 
Well, maybe not since I am getting ready for a big garage sale this weekend. 
I'll  just have two less kids in the way as I organize. 

I just know it's a good thing I don't have to get up every morning and get 3 people out the door, fed & dressed & happy by 7AM!

Thanks for the sweet note. I am enjoying blogspot, although I don't post as often as I'd like. Sounds like your kiddos had fun with their daddy and learned a bit too. Fun!
have a wonderful weekend!
