Yes it is definitely sad that people would need to jump to conclusions.
Reflection of the times I guess. I worry about Blake rolling off the top bunk in his sleep but so far so good. We needed the bunk bed to free up space so we could move Caleb's bed in there so Effie can have his own room as his sleep schedule is different than the older boys.Hope all is going well with you and the baby. Not much longer how exciting.Good morning all. I have been reading along but just didn't take notes. Too tired.I'm sending out
's and
to everyone in need.
My house looks like a bomb went off inside. Eric has been busy putting together all the new furniture we bought yesterday, 2 beds, 4 dressers, a night stand and an end table. So all of Emma and Molly's clothes are strewn about needing to get put away, not to mention all the empty boxes and such. I was hoping to have it done by this morning but am now aiming for next year.One of these days I will feel like I actually live here and am not constantly moving/rearranging things.
I've also managed to get completely caught up on laundry which is unbelievable. Of course none of those clothes are put away either. I was up at 4:30 this morning and had nothing better to do. I also made 2 batches of rice krispie treats for later today. I am hoping once I get to my aunt's house I can just relax!!
I hope everyone has a great day. It is hot and humid here but the sun is shining so I can't complain too much! Talk to you all later!
Sending lots of
.She's pretty.
Wow that's some pool. I would love an outdoor kitchen, I hate heating up the house to cook dinner in summertime. We don't have AC so turning on the oven makes the house feel like an inferno.So this bit of getting drenched on Sunday evenings better stop soon.Last Sunday I got soaked leaving Dorney, today I got drenched finishing cleaning up at the graduation party I worked at. Let's just say I would love to move into the basement of the house or the backyard at that house. It looked like a resort like you would see in Florida or the Caribbean. It reminded me of the Polynesian at WDW. It had a multi level waterfall stream into a fish pond. A hot tub that has three waterfalls into an awesome pool, a huge pool house with full bathroom and patio with an outdoor kitchen.
Tomorrow I officially have off, unless I go into work for a few hours. I am only scheduled 32 hours this week, but can work up to 40 hours. Either way I get paid 8 hours holiday in addition to what I work. Plus the 8 hours I worked today catering.
I have never heard of cleaning tombstones before. I have placed flags on the grave sites of soldiers who fought in wars for the VFW. My brother used to work doing maintenance/groundskeeping at a cemetery and he never heard of doing so either. You learn something NEW everyday on the DIS.
Happy Memorial Day Everyone.
They look so darling.Elizabeth and Theresa,
I had two visitors today that made me think of you. I was in the kitchen fixing lunch when I heard something crying at the door, I opened it up and there was a small kitten, we were outside holding that one when we heard another one crying around the corner. I think they belong to my neighbors who have been away since Friday and I'm not sure when they will be back.
Here they are playing in the backyard,
And they decided my hamper looked like a good place for a nap ( my laundry room is outside so I keep a hamper on the back patio)
I fed them and gave them something to drink, I hate to think that they might get hit in the street, but I can't take the chance of bringing them in as I have an 11 year old cat now, and these kittens might not be completely healthy, they are difinitely flea infested.
Hope you have a nice Memorial Day.
Yep I like how cute kitties look but I'm more a dog person. Of course, my being allergic to cats could be why.
I hope he recovers quickly. Make sure that he goes to the next appointment
I'm glad that it went well. I'm sure that her graduation is a bit bitter sweet since she is your youngest.
I'm not sure how tall Hunter is but he only weighs 52 lbs. Colby is 4 1/2 and weighs 42 lbs. I think it won't be long before my baby outweighs my middle son and there is only 5 years difference
I always warned Zack not to pick on his youger brother Caleb and now Caleb is close to outweighing him. Than he'll be picking on him.
Poor dear.Now that I'm caught up I'll share our day with you. We got up bright and early and took the boys to the fishing Derby. They loved it. The pond was just stocked yesterday. There was a 5 fish per child limit. The kids had caught there limit in the first 1/2 hour. They didn't catch the biggest or smallest fish so no trophies, but it was good fun. We had to wait 2 hours longer for the door prizes. Colby won a new reel and Hunter won the ugliest fish pillow I've ever seenWe took him home and soaked his feet then tried to remove the splinter. We quickly gave up as there were way too many and he was screaming everytime I picked at one. So off to the ER for us. This was at 2 PM and I needed to be at work at 3 PM. I called to say that I would be late. Thankfully the ER was quiet so they saw him quickly. The ER doctor said that he was only going to remove the bigger pieces. The rest will either surface or be absorbed by the body
He scrubbed his feet and used a scalpul to get a few out. They covered his feet with bacatracin and gauze and home we came. Now we need to soak/scrub his feet several times a day to keep them clean to prevent infection and hopefully to work some more splinters out. We go back on Tuesday for a wound check to make sure that he hasn't gotten infected. Needless to say he cannot walk comfortably. I ended up being 45 minutes late for work. It started slow. I was lucky enough to get a party of 15 (that's the biggest party I've had at once to date). I ended up only doing 25 people, but that's not bad for a sunday night. I came home and had to do the foot scrubbing then read my little angel a book. He has suddenly (thankfully) begun to enjoy being read to. I told him that we should do it everynight
Lots of I hope they don't get infected.I am tempted to bid on some of those dream ears on ebay as all last fall the boys wanted some but we never won any. DH thinks I'm nuts but my kids love collecting ears and they have the DL golden ones from the 50th a Christmas pair Halloween pair as well as regular ones. Seem they need the dream ones to round things out.Since I have been officially outbid on all of the auctions I was looking at I think I am going to bed! I really didn't need to buy anything from eBay anyway, so it is good that I didn't win anything else.
Good night, DDA!
DH was always happy to have an excuse not to mow the lawn.
I'm allergic to grass so I can't. Hopefully it dries out soon so your lawn can be mowed. Yep, we're excited. It will give me time to plan our Dec. trip I haven't even figured out our ADR's yet. I even started my diet this week and have managed not to attack the ice cream truck man today for driving near my house.
Well, it's off to bed with me. I need to try to get some sleep before this picnic tomorrow - just checking the weather forecast one last time. It definitely doesn't look promising - I hope it either stays away completely, or becomes a total wash-out so we can in good faith cancel it. I'm afraid it will rain just enough to keep our guests away and us all wet, but not enough to warrant throwing all that $$ down the drain. I've packed myself an extra change of clothes, shoes, and beach towels - I'm afraid I could need them tomorrow.
Good night, DDA, and happy Memorial Day!
Hope the rain stays away.
