• Good morning

  
  

  Its a day.

  
  

  The plan today is to start painting the picket fence.  If I can find the energy.

  
  

  The big kids Sam and Zeria are playing knights.  They worked hard with some scraps of plywood from our current building project and made themselves wooden shields and swords.   Zeria found a paper bag and designed it into a knights helmet.  Its great entertainment.

  
  

  Jer is turning into a big boy before my eyes.  Rob asked him this morning what sound a dog made and he said woof woof.  I then turned to him and said what sound does a cat make.  He stared me down.  I then said does a cat say meow?  He shook his head no.  "Un unh, can't don't say meow."   He's right.  Its more like meeeeeeeer.  *snicker*

  
  

  The other day we were outside and he saw the pony and said Cicket Cicket.  "Good job, Jer.  Can you say cat?"  He looked around didn't see any and shook his head.  "Un unh, no cat."   Well he was right, why should one say it when one can't see it.  *snicker*

  
  

  He's a very opinionated little fella, and is gonna rule this roost.  Yesterday he was out on her new deck which doesn't have stairs to get off.  He wanted off.  I was ignoring him.  He just stood on the deck yelling for the kids.  It got louder, and louder until one of them ran over and lifted them off.  I think he's training us well. 

  
  

  I've been enjoying the last of summer, and have just not felt the need to be online a ton.   I'm just feeling a wee bit anti-net.  I'm sure it will pass...although this is the longest time I've felt this way.

  
  

  My loud friend stopped by yesterday and visited for an hour.  It was a fascinating visit.  She definitely functions in a different circle then I do, and has fascinating information.  Read nasty gossip.   Ahh well she's entertaining, and I take much of what she says with a huge grain of salt.  *snicker*
