Couldn’t find the umbrella for the kids this morning. They had to stand on the porch and wait until they heard the bus turn onto the street. Then they ran down the hill and got there just in time. We really should build or put up some kind of over hang or something. That way they can stand under it in inclement weather. It is a definite thought anyway.
The joys of school
I love it when the kids are back in school and the house is so quiet during the day. Blessed peace with only whatever music I decide to play. I can get so much more done when the kids are at school. On today’s cleaning menu is total fall cleaning. This includes the windows, walls and door frames to remove all finger, hand and face prints. Yes I said face prints…On the windows…all of them. lol
A new WII
I am looking for wii console bundles to buy for the kids. Ours has finally died because it gets so much use. The kids have really used it a lot this past year with the weather being so horrible. It has either been too hot outside or too cold and rainy. I feel kind of bad for them, because they have been so bored. I will have to get a few new games as well. I am sure they have beaten all of the ones they have already.
The school
I went and re checked the enclosed bulletin board at the school to double check the supply lists. My nine year old is going into middle school and they have outdoor enclosed bulletin boards at the school for the parents to check for announcements. I can always count on being able to get the necessary information from them no matter if the school is open or not. I wasn’t the only one there either. There were a lot of mothers checking for their kids as well.
My youngest son starts kindergarten this year and is going to need a lot of stuff as well. The glass bulletin board at his school was just being updated as I arrived. Thankfully I got their late or I wouldn’t have had the information that I needed. As it is, this lot will cost a pretty penny this year. They want kinder mats for the kids to take naps on. I sincerely doubt they will get my little guy to take a nap. He doesn’t really take them anymore.
School supplies
I just got the new school supply lists for my kids and I cannot believe all of the stuff they are asking for this year. Add to that the fact that they also need new school clothes and shoes as well. I foresee a lot of money I don’t really have going out over the next few weeks. Hopefully I can get a lot of it on tax free week, but I doubt it. My money never comes in until afterwards. It really kind of stinks that it always works out like that. Oh well, I will persevere as always and get everything done in time. There is not really much choice in the matter.
So pretty
I am so happy. My kids decided to get me and my mom mother rings. Money was a little tight around Mother’s Day, so as soon as they were able to, they bought the mother rings for us. My father helped them order the rings online and then presented them to us during dinner last night. My mom and I both cried because it was such a sweet thing to do. My kids and my dad are the greatest.
Got our tickets
I am going to surprise the kids with a trip to the monster truck show. we absolutely love going to the shows and our favorite is Grave Digger. The boys will be over the moon when they find out. I am not going to tell them, I am just going to take them and let them realize where we are and what for, when we get there. It is going to be great!
Ducks for our pond
We have a nice big pond on our property. The kids want to put ducks in it, so I have been looking around to see where to find Ducks for Sale. I have a place where we buy our Chicken Breeds, and I know they sell ducks as well. I found all kinds of neat Duck breeds online. The prettiest ones are the Mandarin Ducks, and they are really expensive. I would love to have a pair of them, but I don’t want to have to worry about anyone stealing them.
When I Buy Ducks, I will definitely be getting a breed that is pretty. The Mallards are most likely what I am going to buy. They are pretty and not so uncommon that we would have to worry about them disappearing due to theft. Maybe one day after I fence in the property, I can buy the Mandarin ones. I really would like to have a pair of those.
Having a blast
I love summer. We always have so much fun. The kids and I have been to the creek a few times already and the movies to see Avengers in 3D. The movie was awesome and the creek was just as much fun. They just love the rope swing that is there and catching cray fish as well. We brought home a bunch and put them into a fish tank but they didn’t survive. Now they have to release them when they catch them, because I don’t want to take them home just to die later. The kids wont eat them so that is the rules now. I hope everyone has a great day.
Whats the point?
Why do cyber punks hack accounts like Facebook? I just don’t understand. My sons account was hacked, but there is nothing anyone can use on there. We don’t use credit cards on it or anything, so why bother hacking a kids account. It just seems stupid to me. Oh well, we changed his password and buttoned everything down so that they cannot do it again. I keep a log of the kids passwords and such so I can monitor them online and keep them safe. It shouldn’t happen again.
