Sunday: a day to remember

First of all, Tropical Storm Amanda came and almost went.  It happened quickly and I almost missed it.

On Friday we finally brought the old printer up to the car to bring it for recycling.  This meant that we were able to check behind the printer table for Spark.  Do you remember Spark?  The little animal from McDonald's that Joshua won't forget about?  (Apparently the name changed.)  Anyway, we found him today and Joshua was so excited!  He got played with for the rest of the day (on the good guys team) and is currently sleeping with Pokeball and Grey Bear in his bed.  I hope he doesn't get lost.

Saturday: to do list

I finally got something off my to-do list that was on there for way too long.  I reattached some weather stripping for the basement slider.  It took all of about five minutes, as expected.

Then, since I had the Goop out I also tried reattaching the towel bar in the shower.  Honestly, I'm not sure how it was attached in the first place because it really seemed too small.  The bar barely stayed up and the attachment points didn't really move.  Oh well, we'll see if it stays up this time; if not, we have other "problems."

I picked up groceries this afternoon and was very proud of my reverse parking job.  I didn't have to readjust at all.

Thursday: Young 5s

We went to Joshua's school to pick up his belongings today.  While we were waiting for his teacher in the lobby we looked at the fish tank for the last time.  We always stopped here in the morning, looking for the red coral? that moves, the tentacles of a sea star, and a star fist.

They also got a new white fish a little bit before we left and it was always in the same place.

Social distancing kind of went out the window when his teacher asked for a hug and I didn't think quickly enough.  But it was nice to get a picture with his teacher.

I won't say that he is done with school, because Isaac still has one more official week.  Even after that I think we'll be doing a relaxed summer school, because otherwise I think I'll go crazy.

Wednesday: life

Joshua finally lost his second tooth.  It's been bothering him for a few days.

Life skills today included planting some seeds.  Joshua had gotten some lavender from school and I found some lettuce and bean seeds in the garage for Isaac to plant.  We'll see how it goes.

Tuesday: hot

Today was going to be a hot day, so I finally got out of pajama pants and into a dress.

We played a good game of Ingenious.  It's a game I really enjoy, Isaac did well, and Joshua did much better than last time.  I scored for Joshua this time and that seemed to help the game flow go much better.

Joshua made some banana raisins today.  They were pretty good...the ideal thing is that he could do it all by himself.  I finally made some curry for Ben while he did that.

It sun-rained several times this afternoon.  There were several children playing in the rain, even though it never lasted very long.

Isaac and I tested for our next belt level in karate today from the comfort of our own house.  We passed, unsurprisingly.  It really helps to have two of us.

Monday: Memorial Day

Well, we didn't do anything special for Memorial Day.  We were outside for a little bit in the morning, but it got rather hot out in the sun.  Our evening walk was nice though.

Sunday: dirt baby

I walked to Lowes today to pick up some dirt.

Horizon also took a nap in the sun.  It was kind of like, "I can't move anymore, so I'll just sleep right here."
