Jello makes me cranky.

I am not sure why we are all awake. It seems that as soon as Keith leaves for work the kids get up and the kids got up too early and I am still not done sleeping. Of course I did stay up making patriotic jello last night and that was a colossal time suck. I don't know why on earth it is so hard to make jello squares but it is. I do think I am nearing in on the secret though. I found a pretty good recipe in Parents magazine; however the "time estimate" they give for making them is seriously off. This morning when the boys came down and I was cutting the jello into blocks they said wow were you up all night working like Mr. Mark (he lives next door) and I am thinking I felt like it. Then they both tried them and Davis said, you did pretty good these taste alright. Gee thanks since I was up all night that is the best you can do. Then Carson says, they are delicious. I love em. Thanks C, coming from the kid that only eats sugar it is good to know that an all nighter of creating congealed sugar was a hit! Can I go back to bed now?

Now all they can talk about is how long until water balloons. The BBQ we are going to isn't until later this afternoon...it is gonna be a long long day....Keith's 11 day straight work stretch is getting to us all I think....

Happy 4th!
