No, one of them didn't die of starvation from my cooking! Marie and the middle child left to visit a local camp for their sixth grade school trip. Alora really wanted her mother to go and, despite being exhausted, Marie agreed to go with her. Right now they are somewhere in the mountains living life without mobile phones.
As for me and the other two, we are doing fine. Plenty of lasagna and chicken left over from earlier in the week is holding starvation at bay!
Today was particularly busy around the home for me. First, I replaced a leaky faucet with a brand new faucet in the kitchen. I managed this in just two hours and with only one annoying 'paper cut' on the finger. Hopefully the leaking has stopped, although I still need to caulk around the sink in a few places. Water damage from the leak is fairly bad in the cabinet. Here is hoping the Damp-Rid will remove the problem
Second, Arionna came home from school and wanted to 'rake leaves'. So, I finished off my work, completed my phone calls, and we raked up the leaves. The result of our efforts is found to the above left, and below. (NOTE: The below video may appear "sideways" for a little while. I edited it at youtube and am testing to see when/if the change takes effect. Yes...I look for things like this to try out).
Yes, I'm commenting on my own post. COOL! IT WORKED! When youtube updated, so did the video on the blog post.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I am glad she got to spend some "Dad time" with you raking leaves. Everyone survived the nearly 2 weeks home alone with Dad...guess that means I need to start planning my next "Mom only" trip. :)
