And the whirlwind left the kingdom and all were at peace

Galen starts YMCA camp today. The bus takes him away at 8 something, and returns him at 4 something. He gets a daily dose of bugs, swimming, canoeing with an occasional dose of archery & art projects. We expect Liam will be lonely, Boris less tortured, and a more relaxed me.

The kids got new stuff

Jungle gym, cave, bed, playground, whatever, the kids got a bedroom set. By way of Craigslist we picked up a bunk bed & matching dresser for less than new. It's been a hit, they both seem to enjoy their new digs. Galen has the top bunk, and Liam the lower. And more than once we have found Galen asleep, snuggled up next to Liam. Lovely.

It's made the room smaller, and more cozy. All in all, a good change.
