Maci comes to Oklahoma

Hadley & Becky were brave enough to allow Maci to stay a week with us in Oklahoma. We have lots of plans including the zoo, omniplex, and VBS for 5 nights. We are so excited she is staying with us. Travis Day gets married next weekend so we will be taking her back then. Maci is excited about chores. We have a pretty neat program that I use with the kids that allows them to receive rewards each day for good deeds, chores, and behavior.

Day 1: Helped cook supper (she cooked fried burritos). Her behavior has been superb, a wonderful example of obedience to my children who are 6 and 3. Thanks for sharing her with us, Fletcher's. I know you miss her. She is outside looking at the stars through a telescope with Nia & Ian. I hope to take pictures each day but as for Day 1 this is what she's up to. No need to worry!!!!!!

Day 2, 3, & 4 were all very busy. VBS is the reason for that but we are having a blast. Our theme is Outrigger Island and the songs are great. Maci has been cooking, playing, helping me with the kids and much more. We went walking yesterday but Nia fell right quick and we didn't get to walk very long. We also got snow cones. Maci got a door prize yesterday at VBS, it was a green sea urchin ball.

Day 5: Today we are hoping to go swimming. However, it is REALLY windy outside right now. 2 days of VBS left. Tomorrow we hope to go to the zoo. She is having a great time. And we are enjoying her tons.
