Don’t cry..

Over spilled milk… Unless it’s leaked from a thermos, in your daughters lunchbox, all in the book bag, all over the floor, five minutes before the bus picks up.

Yeah, that was my morning this morning.  The good? Our bus stop is first and I was able to get it cleaned up in time to be able to drive her to another pick up point.  The bad? She’s going to need a new book bag.

 

Thursday 13: Cubscout campout

Friday the 21st, my son’s cub scout pack had their annual camp out. Here’s 13 things about it.

  1. All four of us went to the camp site.
  2. Hubby helped set up the tent (but it was easy enough that he didn’t need to)  It’s a small two person tent that my step-dad used in Alaska.
  3. Hubby and daughter left shortly after the air mattress was inflated.  The full sized air mattress filled up the tent.
  4. We also had sleeping bags and three other covers.
  5. It got down to 39 degrees Fahrenheit overnight.
  6. It was a VERY clear night. Perfect for looking at the stars.
  7. Nothing like having to put on tennis shoes and grabbing a flashlight to go use the whole in the ground at 2:30 in the morning.
  8. We slept in our warm sweat shirts and hats.  For a little bit of the night, I had on mittens too.
  9. One of the groups next to us was howling at the moon.
  10. I ate too many roasted marshmallows.  We also had Jiffy Pop!
  11. My teeth felt very fuzzy after a breakfast of pancakes and sausage.
  12. On our nature hike the next morning, we saw a dead deer in the woods.  The boys HAD to go look at it…
  13. Saturday night I fell asleep before the kids, at 8:00 and woke up Sunday morning around 7:00.

I could go on, but we had a lot of fun.

More Thursday 13.

F F Friday (13)

Wow 13 weeks!!  It’s time again for Fucking Floral Friday with Saintseester and Fighting Windmills has joined me as well!

We were doing our nightly walk meandering around the block and I saw these HUGE white flowers.  I knew I had to take pictures of them for F F Friday.  I should have tried to take a picture of it with my hand in the shot for size.  I’m not sure if you can see the fence post?  Maybe that will give you an idea…

Anyway, Wednesday was Little Man’s last free day before his first full day of school.  We kept him busy.  🙂 Continue reading

Stripped

Sunday we stripped the BORDER off the wall.  Monday hubby put the painter’s tape up and started priming after work.  He worked until 2:00, he gets to work by 6:00.  About 8:00, we started painting!  How fun.  Today we’ll move the furniture around and Wednesday we’ll finish.  I hope he likes his room!

Stripping

The kids left with Papa & Nana yesterday after lunch.  Hubby and I immediately started stripping! Continue reading
