Day One was spent with Britt before taking her to the airport for her 5pm flight yesterday. Day one was easy.
Day two isn't looking quite so easy. The days stretch out before us without any formation of any sort of plan to keep these 5 smallish people busy/happy.
When we went to counseling after the earthquake the counselor would always ask "On a scale of one to seven, seven being the worst you've ever felt, how do you rate your current stress-level surrounding ______ ?"(insert issue). He would then help work through whatever the issue was until we could rationally reduce our stress level.
We need that guy here right now. We need that guy and a YMCA summer camp, a community center, a VBS program, a library, a park, a different park, a water park, a summer theater program, a bike path, a hiking trail, our cousins to play with, a trampoline, ... We need all of that or less glass on the walls for safer climbing.

Ah, the adventures of Jack & Annie! Tell Noah that my guys like that series, too. :) As for things to climb, we discovered that nylon boating rope tied around & slung from trees makes for hours of backyard adventure. We made a triangle between three trees, with more ropes knotted and dangling between the trees for swinging & climbing. It's durable and holds up under weather. We call them our "monkey ropes."
P.S. I added a pin on Pinterest, so you can see what the monkey ropes look like: http://pinterest.com/angfunai/from-the-monkey-house
The monkey ropes sound like a great idea!
the climbing ropes sound fun- you can also get them some (trash) recyclables :) and let them build a fort- or a town in your yard. You will have to look at crap all summer, and hopefully the dogs won't eat it- but my kids love making their own towns, currency, rules and basically bossing each other around.
