Hellooooo....? Anyone home.....??

I've been missing reading all your blogs and as you can see my posts have been few and far between and the ones I have put up haven't been all that exciting!!
I've had my 3 nieces for the last five nights and another brother and his family have been here for the last 3 nights. Then on Friday night my brother and his fiance came to town too...so I don't need to tell you that I've been busy!!! Yesterday Randal's brother and family also came to town but are staying at his mom's house. Tonight they're coming over for a BBQ. I think there will be about 7 nieces, 2 nephews, 2 brothers and their wives and a mil over for dinner tonight(as well as our 4 kids!). I think it will be pretty low key though.
Then on Monday my mom and grandma should be here!! We're planning about a 20 kilometre bike ride while they're here, possibly overnight. Hopefully my nieces will be able to stay so that they can join us. My younger brother that is here with his family has ANOTHER 3 nieces for me and they are probably going to stay for a few days now too so they (the girls) can come with us on the ride!!!! So that is 6 extra girls as well as my 4 = 10 girls!! Wow!! But we will have fun!! I just hope my energy holds out!!! I love doing fun stuff with the kids! Well I better get off here. I'm on the worship team at church today so need to go get ready! Hope you're all having a good summer too!!
Take Care and before too long I'll be around for a visit with you all.

Summer meals---Ideas Anyone??

Ever since summer started I've been at a loss for meals during the day. Normally of course, the kids eat at school. I don't know why I'm having trouble coming up with creative meals?! Maybe it's the heat!!
Anyway if you have any ideas for some yummy (and NUTRITIOUS!!) and economical summer breakfasts and lunches, please leave your ideas for me!! The kids will eat almost anything too, so that makes it easier. One thing that seems to happen is that we eat junk we wouldn't normally eat... so this isn't a healthy way to be doing things!
We try not to eat a lot of dairy...but some is okay.

It's been really hot here this past week. Today it's up to about 34*C--that's about 93 or 94*F -for my Americans blogging buddies that are reading this. By Friday we're supposed to be up to 40*C or 104*F!!


Thank goodness for the pool! I hope you're all having a great week. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you all with some good ideas!!!
thx!
