He talked about Charles and then all they kids came up and said something's about him
All the kids, Annie, ginger, and Lilly were crying
E I am going to end this mass today by saying once again Charles was a great, husband, after, grandfather, and friend and he will be greatly missed. A men
After the mass they went to bury him and say their last good-byes. There was a lot of crying from everyone and than after that they all went to the Candans for a lunch. And to show their support. And the grandkids were getting tired and crabby. Where they got to the house all the kids were a great help with what needed to be done
John hey Matt we were wondering if you wanted us to take the kids back to our place so they are not in the way here and you can help out and we could give them a nap it has been along day for them. And you could either pick them up when you are done or I could drop them back off.
Matt you know that sounds like a great Idea thanks but let me go ask Sarah
John oh ok
Sarah was helping out in the kitchen with ruthie and Lucy and Simon, Robbie
Matt hey Sarah
S yeah Matt what is it
Matt john and percilia offered to take nick and jack so they are out of the way and so that they could get a nap and either we could pick them up oh he will bring them back when it dies down. So what do you think?
S I think that is a great idea if they don't mind cause jack is getting very tired and keeps pulling on his ear but just won't fall asleep.
Matt yeah I know I think nick will need a nap to I will go tell him where are the kids and all their stuff?
S jack is with Ben the last time I checked, and nick was with the crenel and all their stuff is in ruthie's room tell him nick can eat whatever and jack his dinner is in their and his bottles and everything else. But make sure that jack has his pacifier clipped on to him cause that is the only one I brought.
M ok got it
He went upstairs and got the bag and went to get nick and jack
M hey john Sarah thinks it is a great idea so here they are and jack has his dinner and bottles and everything you need in their but this is the only pacifier so try not to lose it and nick can eat whatever you eat or your kids eat. Thanks a million you to I bet he will fall asleep quick and try and get nick to take a nap but if he doesn't that is ok. Here percilia here is jack and I will come out with you to put in their seats.

Lucy's
Karen so what time do the kids go to bed?
L Kathy should go at 7 and she gets some milk before she goes. Than tom you could put to bed at 7 30 now he might try and stay up with mike but don't let him. And mike can go at 8 sometimes he does like to go with tom so that is fine to. I put out all their pj's on their beds. They might want I a book but you don't have to read them one. Mike is on the top bunk bed and tom is on the bottom. Sometimes they come down just send them back up. But make sure the gate in Kathy's room is locked. And she likes the hall light on. And for Kelly I made all the bottles she gets one every 3 hours and she should sleep the rest of the time and well you are putting them to bed if she is not asleep than put her in he chair and turn it on she likes that. And here are pacifiers and I and making chicken nuggets and fires for the boys and Kathy can have some and fruit. Or and if mike and tom are fighting or keep talking just put tom in our bed.
K oh ok sounds good
L and I hope you can find something to eat. And we shoun't be to late but I will call
K oh stay out as long as you want
The food is done and the kids come to eat it is 6 10 and Kevin still is not home

K and did you ever think maybe the reason I didn't stop bye anyway is because I did not get home til 11 30 and then went to bed because I was very tired.
