Sorry for the hiatus last week. Matt left, and within 20 minutes, the internet was whacked out. Of course, within 2 more minutes, I was whacked out. It was perhaps, a nice break from the web world. Some things we did while he was gone:
Went to Lowe's and purchased 20 feet of PVC, some caps, T's, and elbows, and a pipe cutter. Went to Piggly Wiggly and purchased 3 bags of mini marshmallows. Went home and got to work. We had ourselves a little assembly line for our marshmallow gun factory! It was pretty hilarious when we got them working, and I have pictures of the living room floor litttered with marshmallows. All in all, a profitable night, fun-wise.
Next day, we started our Village mural for the Colonial Life Unit we are doing in preparation for our Williamsburg trip. 2 yards of muslin, drew houses and village buildings, colored with crayons, and hung it on the wall. Quite proud, we are!
Had a strange experience on Wednesday night that will remain un-discussed. Just too WEIRD to even explain, but all were unharmed and nothing permanently damaged.
Matt returned home Thursday night safe and sound, whereupon we shot marshmallows at him and laughed a lot. (We laughed, he did not).
This morning, I had hives again. I am frustrated. The prednisone keeps them at bay, but I cannot take it forever. Allergy testing is scheduled for Sept. 25th.
We will be painting tomorrow in the girls' room. I use the term "we" loosley, since I will be washing the brushes and helping tape. I hate to paint, and Matt is better at it anyway. Girls are excited and want to help. Matt is better at that, too. I'll give a report later.
Guess what? This year, the #@&* Balloon Days in Creston will not interfere with my birthday. Honestly, I have no personal vendetta against balloons, or even a festival of balloons. I was just veeeerrrrryyy tired of them being around at my birthday every year. You all know how I love crowds.......
Marty is in speech therapy now and it is not going well. He refuses to do what he needs to do, and instead does it his way (isn't that why we are going, because he talks HIS way?). Add to it that the therapist is not home school friendly, and I am not sure we will continue. She is very concerned that he is "delayed, even for a 4 year old." Well---yes, if he had been speaking English for even 4 years he would be ahead of where he is now. However, for a 22 month old (which is how long he has spoken English) he's pretty darn good! She just doesn't get it.
It's late, adn I must go to bed. I seem to be tired all the time lately--that's unusual for me.
