It’s hard to believe that
school starts in about 6 weeks. It has been one busy summer. First was the
laminate floor, which took about 3 weeks to fully complete. Then, Christian had
an allergic reaction to some shots, Grandma moved out and Tori had a birthday
party. Now, Tori and Eli are getting ready for their annual trek to Grandma
Tip’s and their weeklong stay at Grandma Marie’s. Christian is done with the
weeklong stays and is just coming along for the ride, looking forward to a stop
at the Lego store on the way home.
Tori’s party went ok. We
had a few injuries, starting with a splinter in a finger, followed by scraped
knees, followed by a hurting side. Then, there was the broken nose in a beanbag
incident in which no one really knows what happened. Two girls say one thing,
and two say another. Thankfully, the little girl is going to be ok and will not
need any surgery. Whew! No more beanbags at slumber parties and a lot more
rules next time, including a decent bedtime. No more staying up until 4:30 a.m.
As though life has not been
busy enough, we also got two new kitties. We were aiming for one, but Christian
got suckered in fast. We have Princess Leia and Tater Darth Vader or Tater Tot
King (Eli got to pick the middle names). Princess is a gray and white tabby,
and Tater is black. They are so rowdy I like to call them Frick and Frack or
Seek and Destroy.
The babysitter just got a
pool, so our kids are going to get in a lot of swimming this summer. Don’t
worry. The youngest kids can touch the bottom, and there will be adult
supervision. Good luck to Sharon on keeping her house clean with that many kids
in and out of the pool.
