6:45: Me- trying to salvage the rest of the evening, with a special treat made just for the kids....
8:25pm: All kids in bed, quiet house, and second thoughts about wanting summer to end
8:29pm: Fight breaks out in bedroom, #3 comes out for another ice pack and baby is crying in crib....

I'm so glad they get to do this stuff all together. I love it! Although play dates will definitely still be necessary for them. lol. At least according to Luke and Cannon.
