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!
