MiMi Camp 2013: Day Two: Two New Arrivals and TWO More Water Emergencies!

Day two is a done deal. It is 10:00 and all is quiet here in the camper.

Raynie and Levi arrived this morning!

We had another water emergency this morning. Louis Dean fixed that and we turned the water back on tonight after we came in for bed. All was fine for a whole hour and then the water started flooding in again from under the girls bunk - which is where the water reservoir is. We are in bed and the A/C is on and all is well so we're staying put for the night. We'll have breakfast in here tomorrow morning and then I am throwing in the towel on staying in the camper. No, WAIT!! The towels are all in the washer and/or dryer so I CAN'T throw one! No worries, though! The kids have been great and we've enjoyed being out here so it's still be a Win! WIN! situation.

Some highlights of our day........

This was actually last night. After watching the movie about a dog yesterday, Faith became very attached to Lucy to the point of letting her sleep with her!

I love how much Sam and Faith love each other!

There was a HUGE Barbie convention around the camper dining table this morning - glad they got to play BEFORE the water event happened!

We relocated to the gazebo and played Lego's.

The kids raided my closet for wraps to take to the movies with us......you gotta love A/C in Texas!!

Our movie of choice - Epic! They were a captured audience!

* A special note of thanks to Ruth Ann for going with us! There's strength in numbers!!

Since it WAS Tuesday we hit up the Goodwill!

Faith scored with another great item - NEW and in the box - for their pool.

There's still another month or so of swimming weather around here!

Faith has been so good with Raynie!

AND Raynie simply adores Faith!

My four oldest grandchildren!!

I am Bella to Raynie and MiMi to Sam, Faith and Levi!

Sam is as tall as I am!! He'll be 11 next month!

Granddad made mini hamburgers for us tonight using his homemade buns.

Sabrina brought the art project supplies - I got the t- shirts and tiles.....

it was a FUN thing to do!

They turned out GREAT!!!

T- shirts, sharpie markers, rubbing alcohol.

Sabrina found this on Pinterest.

I made 'Paint Shirts' for the quads.

After you're finished throw the shirts in the dryer for 15 minutes to set the colors!

Instead of baths the kids did bubbles and water play in the front yard.

I added a washcloth and soap and called them BATHED!

We took turns reading before heading back out to the camper.

Of course we had to linger on the driveway and look at the Blue Moon!!!

Even with the water event, the kids were all in bed by 9:30. They haven't been out once since!

I admit to being one tired grandmother tonight so I am shutting down the laptop, pulling the covers up and calling it a night!!!
