We Agree, No Beans For Dinner!

Blogging from George and Charlotte's dinning room table:

The planning session tonight concentrates on the upcomming April trip. We're heading to the West Chester KOA (West Chester, PA) for four days, three nights, with day trips to places like QVC and Longwood Gardens. Decisions made include; menus and provisions, sleeping arrangements (K&K will still be sleeping in the same bed and G&C will sleep in the other bed), kapers (apparently a Girl Scout term for "chores"... why can't we just call them "chores"?), and how many DVDs each family is allowed to bring.

This pre planning is important to avoid inequities in responsibilities, etc. But also, because we are all such obsessive planners!

It was initially suggested that the Wednesday night supper be simple, to allow for the newness and complexity of the drive and set-up.

"Hot dogs and beans!" was the first suggestion, and we all said, "Yum!"

But then someone remembered that there were seven of us, and that we were going to be sleeping in a tin can and, "wouldn't it be a better idea to avoid feeding beans to the seven of us?"

Agreed! Unanimously!

Kathy says, "I think the hardest thing for us to deal with will be the 24 x 7 living personalities. I know Ken and Logan but want to learn Geo, Char, Steph and Chrissy so that we can live in harmony and not annoy anyone."

So here are some TMI items about us: (will be updated when C&G send along their TMI's)

• Ken and Logan are not morning people
• Cracking of Knuckles is like farting to Ken, a rude body noise
• Kathy likes things free of clutter when possible and so she will look for a place for everything out of the way if possible

• Logan talks in his sleep
• Ken only talks in his sleep when he is in the same room as Logan and they have the most interesting conversations with each other
