Stuff

Today was a blah/boring/normal day.  Days like that are good.  Charlie's started reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.  I would love to get more of these books for Charlie.  (And the girls.)  I think we found these at a yard sale.  I did find a site for them and am eyeballing them so we can get more.  Charlie absolutely loves them.  If we had a few hundred dollars laying around, I would get all the ones he currently does not have.

I did some work with Bethany today.  She is getting better at writing her letters for me.  Granted she did it with the knowledge that she was going to see Miss L (her piano teacher) today and wanted to practice for her.  (Stinker.)

While George took Charlie and Bethany to their piano lessons, I delivered some eggs as a gift to some friends visiting from Arkansas.  Then, I took Hannah to a local diner for a treat since she and I rarely have any "Mommy and Hannah" time.  I blew my points with the peanut butter pie.  *drool*  I made up for it by only having asparagus for dinner, but still managed to go over.

We were going to stop at a second hand store, but by the time we were done with our pies, gone potty, and left, they were closed.  So, we went to CVS and bought supplies to restock our first aid kit.  We realized we were dismally low on basic supplies so we got a few things and will get more tomorrow.

After dinner and clean-up, I went outside and took care of the rabbits, gathered a few more eggs, checked on our broody (one of the eggs looks like it is starting to hatch) and used the reel mower out front for a bit.  We are not going to be able to use it in the backyard until it gets mowed at least once.  But we can't mow until the backyard stops being squishy and while we wait for it to dry out enough to mow, the grass is just going to get deeper.  And it is supposed to rain more tonight and again tomorrow.
