Adults to dinner/Kids at home :)

Tonight (Saturday) Keith, Michelle, and Larry showed up about 6:00 p.m. We were all able to go out to dinner before Jessica and Larry packed up to leave EARLY in the morning. It was so much fun to sit and talk with everyone (a little stressful for me during the debating)! We always love the opportunity to get together with family and catch up! The kids stayed home while we went to dinner; Jocelyn was in charge of all the babies, (Addison, Natalie & Ashton), and making sure that Haden & Taylore stayed safe. We told them that they would be earning their pay on a "Performance based scale". What I didn't tell them was that they would be deciding how each other had done; and ultimately how much of their potential earnings they would get. They all did really great! They all rated each other pretty high (8 or higher; I then had them rate themselves.) It was a fun little experiment! They all had a great time; we came home to some pretty hilarious video on the camcorder; (not too happy that they used my camcorder without us home; but the end result was VERY FUNNY. I'll try and post it next week; at least clips of it.) Ashtin & Natalie LOVE Go, Diego, Go! So the kids thought it would be fun to make up their own version of the show! Very creative! After getting all the kids in bed we all sat around watching the video the kids had made, and some fun video from the family reunion. It was great to sit and chat; we stayed up a bit too late; as always.
