How about a posse of cows? I like flock of cows.  Wasnt there a band called that in the eighties?  Or was that seagulls?  And if it was, why on earth would you pick seagulls????  Their like flying rats that poop on everything! 
And I hear you about gardening.  I never thought I liked it either but this year I'm really having fun planting. Mind you mine were all flowers that had to just be put in pots.... minor details!  Cant wait till i have my own place so I can have a little garden and window boxes. 
No problem watching the girls.  I adore them and we had fun.  I could just sit and enjoy their personalities.  Each one of them is so different.  You and Mike should be very proud of them.  Plus, it kept me busy which is always nice.  I will watch them for you guys whenever you need.  I cant have their little minds thinking anyone is cooler than auntie Lizzy. And again I'm really sorry about your carpet.  What made me want to finger paint with the kids I have no idea.  But we had fun! This week I"m coming over with the carpet cleaner I promise.  Maybe I could ride it to your house like a broom.   ord knows you wont share your broom.  hehe  
Ok just got my HIDEOUS room cleaned, spic and span and organized.  I love organized. Its something I aspire for but never quite reach.  Maybe when we arent all living in one room.  Get my babies back tomorrow morning so I'm going to go squeeze a run in right now.  I love you and had a lot of fun with you tonight.  Bummer about the rain wrecking the bon fire.  Hope you guys had fun playing taboo.  Thats my favorite game!  Night!
