The parents went off to dinner this evening, and the five kids were to occupy themselves on the jumping pad or play mini golf or hang out at home. The two oldest girls are more than capable of babysitting the younger ones, the youngest being six. They decided to play putt putt golf. They needed an adult to check out the putt putt equipment (free) so Papa and Sparky were on the scene to help.
Papa is the guy you want to have around with five children playing putt putt, arguing about who's turn it is, dilly dallying while others are waiting to play, whose ball is whose, etc. etc. He quickly took charge, barking (not really) directions--"NEXT!" "OK, c'mon, let's get going, people are waiting!" "NEXT!"
P.S. I did two things on the blog to reduce spam that have really worked: 1) blocked anonymous comments, that helped some...2) checked the box that says, "allow only registered users to make comments"...That REALLY knocked off the spam flow of comments which were getting quite heavy and numerous. Sorry if that has made it difficult for some readers who are not registered with Google to leave comments. You can always email if you'd like to comment.
You are just having too much fun there.
ReplyDeleteWe had to stop anonymous comments as well.
Thanks for adding the tip on blocking the spam comments. It was getting way out of control for me too. Have fun on your adventures with the kids.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it seemed everyone is getting the spam thing. I blocked anonymous, and moderate after 5 days, and that has knocked them out. I hope Google doesn't drop blogger though :(
