Opa in Charge!

Last Friday night Kara and I left opa in charge of the five children while we skipped town and attended an overnighter with our women's group from church. Matt was in Washington, D.C.

Kara and I left at six p.m. and were home again by noon on Saturday. Evan slept the majority of the time we were gone. Lincoln went to bed with Viva in mommy's bed. Dinner was cheesy bread and breakfast was muffins. We left a movie for the children to watch. Opa and the children reported that things went well. 

(Viva had one minor complaint. She said opa only allowed them to have three Skittles each from the bag that their mom left for them. Opa said he thought they were Starbursts. It's true that Starbursts are a lot bigger than Skittles, but three still isn't very many! Opa and Daddy are convinced that candy leads to sugar highs. Mommy and grandma know that sugar or no sugar the children bounce off the walls.)
