busy busy

i haven't had much time to post- our household is SUPER busy (what with 6 8 and under and all!)
they are doing a home study on bubble's aunt, which might take about a month- so she will probably be there that long, but of course things can change at the 2 week hearing.
i am getting a little nervous about sweetpea's permanency conference , which is in two short days!! i hope everything goes swimmingly well.
i am trying to figure out something fun (that dosn't cost and arm and a leg) that we can all do as a huge family today. Gabe wants to go swimming- but the idea of taking 6 mostly non swimmers swimming sounds like SCARY to me. plus i burn and don't typically get anywhere near a pool in the summer during daylight hours..
yesterday was Gabe's 32nd birthday--GO DADDY!!!
