Good Days

We had two good days here. Yesterday Katie and I did grocery shopping and had alot of fun. We had lunch and enjoyed each other's company. Today I did a few things for the schooling this week and Katie and Ana played with a neighbor.
1st: Katie and I went to a flea market and Ana went with Ed to go shopping with his Aunt. Katie was amazed at 2 Alpacas they had there. They are actually very beautiful animals. In a couple weeks, we may take a field trip to see the Alpaca farm.
2nd: We found a toy tea set at a yard sale so Katie, Ana, and their friend Morgan had a "tea party". They played all day. It was so quiet around here.

Ed painted the attic and put a new rug up there. It is actually the boys' room. It is so nice up there. I keep saying we should have that for our "master suite". I need to find curtains and a few pictures to make it look nice. If you saw it before you would be quite surprise with the difference.

Ed is going to put in the rug for the attic steps and then he will repaint the 2nd bedroom. After that we will be repainting 2 more bedrooms and each girl will have there own room. ~HURRAY~

Now, after that, Ed will be putting in wood floors in the living and dining (school room) rooms. I wish he would have done this during the summer before school but he decided on this last week.
I'm really happy about getting new floors, the rugs are worn down to the floor, but bad timing. I have to move everything around, again.

The 2 girls will be joining a Lego club this year. It's free!! I'm so excited for them. I think they will have a lot of fun.

In another post I had stated that Becca started volleyball. She is really enjoying it. She is a good player and it gives her some good exercise. They play 4 hours for 1 night a week.

I'm still trying to figure out PE for Tom. He does like to ride his bike. I don't think that's enough, though. He's becoming a teen...you know, talking back and not liking that he has to do some work around here. Ed set him straight today and I don't think Tom was thrilled about it.
He's still a good kid, though. He's also growing way to fast. Everytime he stands near me his feet get in the way!!

Jon moved out and likes where he lives. He came by today and he looks so happy. Probably because it's so quiet where he is. ~smile~ He also got another job on top of the other 2 he has. Whew! Alot of work and school, he'll be busy. By the way, Ana loves him soooo much. She hears his name and comes running!

You won't believe what I did? When Katie and I were shopping the other day, I took her to Subway. I told them I wanted a chicken sub. I also said I wanted a small package of chicken for Katie without anything on it (because of her allergies). Well, I had the girl at the counter so confused over the chicken and what I wanted done with it, she thought it was herself making the mistakes. After I sat down to eat I realized that it was my fault. I kept saying don't let the chicken touch the mayo. or bread, etc. Well, she was trying to make my sandwich and I thought she was putting Katie's chicken on it! I ended up with a very plain sub. Boy, did I laugh at myself and couldn't wait to get out of there!! I was in la la land.....~LOL~

Signing off now. Going to sit my dear husband. ~smile~
