My Mom refurbished a piece of furniture for us, and it has become the favorite napping spot for the kitties.
Maddie matches the chair almost perfectly…
Loki looks pretty cozy though too…
Either way, the kitties love the new chair, and fight over who can sit on it constantly.
Kindergarten is just a month away, and I am so not ready for Thade to go… We are trying to get back on track and ready for those early school mornings. I’m working on getting up extra early, and trying to become a morning person without coffee. Thade is keeping busy too by practicing his writing, and working on other kindergarten skills too.
I know the month is going to fly by, and kindergarten will be here before we know it.
This year my organic veggie garden is one big mess. I noticed two very over ripe cucumbers yesterday, and I had just about given up on getting out and getting the garden back in shape. This morning I woke up with more energy, and 2 kiddos that needed to burn off some extra energy too, so we headed outdoors to work on the garden.
I found 3 more cucumbers that were ready to be picked, and 1 lonely okra too. I spotted a few more okra that are growing well, so I hope that in a few days I’ll have enough for a mini batch of fried okra. The green beans are doing well, and there were lots of blossoms on the plants. The corn is sprouting well too, and I can’t wait for it!
I got some much needed weeding done too. It isn’t all finished, but thanks to the recent rain, the task wasn’t too bad. I hope to get a few more veggies out of the garden this Summer, and next year I hope to be a better gardener all together.
Thade loves the Wii! Thade loves the Wii so much that he obsesses about it 24 hours a day, and it’s driving this Mommy and Daddy crazy. Since Thade can’t play the Wii 24 hours a day, like he wishes he could, James and I came up with Wii bucks so Thade can earn his Wii time.
He can earn 30-60 minutes by helping out around the house, having a good attitude out in public, and even helping out with his little Brother too. The Wii bucks are already starting to pay off too, yesterday he earned 30 minutes, but he decided that he was done playing after 15 minutes. When the time was up, he turned off the Wii, with no complaints and without a gigantic 5 year old temper tantrum.
I think that the Wii bucks are going to come in pretty handy around here, and maybe I can get some of my sanity back.
These really should be used to clean the house, but Dylan found another fun thing to do with this $.97 duster. I don’t think that the kitty minds chasing after the feather duster either. Somehow, I don’t think very much dusting is going to get done around the house though…
