Tuesday. The rain continues unabated. It is really hard to believe that it can rain this much. It never lets up.
Today we had the unending decent of the kids, again. For some reason they started coming over at noon and seem to arrive in shifts, just a few at a time, but just kept coming all day. I had to kick them out a few times. It was impossible to keep getting anything done.
We have started moving the kids outside, but it is wet and cold out there so we can only do that so much. We have decided that tomorrow we have to have a sign on the door telling kids that we are doing school and stuff and that they cannot come in during school hours. We keep telling them that Liesl is doing school but we think that they just don’t understand or something. It is getting pretty frustrating.
We really are excited that the girls have so many friends and that people want to come over to play with them but it is causing a lot of problems. The kids rummage through our stuff, mess with the girls’ school materials, go through the cupboards and the freezer and need to be monitored all of the time.
This evening we watched some Full House for a bit and then before bed time we played a bit more of Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Scarlet Hand. We did not manage to play for even an hour before Dominica and I were tired and ready for bed, though. So it was a short night of gaming. We had not intended to play any games tonight but while we were watching our show the Internet cut out, probably because of the storm. We gave it about two hours to come back on and decided to take advantage of the lack of Internet to go to bed around eleven thirty.
