It was a full van on the way to church with Conrad and I in the front and 6 kids in the back (Kiandra & Kaden, and our 4 nephews!). If Kezia had been home and not at her friend's cabin then we would have needed to take two vehicles.

Kaden comes home from camp tonight. What he doesn't know is that there's a game waiting for him when he arrives home....the game is called "Mom cleaned your room and if you have 1 week to guess what's in those trash bags before they are thrown out".

It was a busy day of running around and getting the kids to all their activities and picking up things for Conrad's parents' party on Sunday. We did manage to enjoy a lovely lunch and one of my favourite places and it was even better because we had a coupon!
