Miscellaneous Things jumping around in my head.

I’ve been trapped! I went out this morning and could hear the cry of a kitten. Later I went out again and again heard it’s cry. My compassionate side got the best of me and I searched for the little creature that needed rescuing. I found a cute little grey calico kitten up high in a tree in the neighbor’s yard. It was really high up and crying. I got Jonny to rescue it and we left it to go it’s way. It followed us, so we took it back to the neighbors, it followed us so we put it behind the neighbor’s house and ran, but it still followed us. It has been outside the house watching our every move and crying out for us all day. It was all a trap! ….. Now what to do? Will see if it belongs to a neighbor when they get home tonight. My allergies are getting the best of me with the trees and grass, I don’t need, I can’t have a cat! Even if it is a really cute little kitten.

Joshua and Jonny are painting the house. Not an easy task and they need to have it done so they can get the other things they need to do before they leave for camp on Sunday or Monday. The trim was light blue and we have to decide what color to paint it. Darrel wants green (when we stripped the blue off we found that it had originally been green.). Hannah wants pink, that is not going to happen. Jordan wants blue and Stephen wants it to be a rainbow. Jonny thinks yellow trip or yellow house with white trim. We have already painted it white so yellow will not happen. Joshua likes khaki or green.

Daniel had a fever for a couple of days and when the fever broke, he got a rash. It is really bad below his mouth, in his diaper and on his legs. It is also on his arms, feet and a tiny bit on his torso. I have no idea what it is. I have thought it could be yeast, heat rash, chicken pox, poison ivy…… All seem possible, but none seem right.







Joshua finally found his ‘new’ piano keyboard to replace the one that he got for his birthday to replace the one that broke. He found a 2,000. Yamaha at a pawn shop and they were asking 900.00 but he was able to get it for 550.00 Now he has a keyboard to take to camp and one to play. He has been very frustrated that the only thing he could play was our piano which is out of tune.
The pedal had the wrong polarity so Joshua and Darrel rigged it to work. They turned something upside down inside of the pedal and they used a paperclip soldered in place to do something. That way Joshua was able to use it the night he got it to play some songs at the end of the year social for EMACHE (our homeschool group).
Why the picture of Joshua on his 3rd birthday? Because he is cute and because I think it is funny that he had a Barney cake and now he has a Barney car. I know it is not really a Barney car, but it's fun teasing him about it. I have told him that we need to have the interior redone in green. :)
