Where I am going
My mom was great enough to drive Ruth home today and stay a few extra days so I can go to TX.
We are buying an eight unit apartment building in Dallas, and I need to go and check it out.
So, no pictures or updates for a few days.
I'll be home Saturday afternoon.
Guess that means I'll see y'all later!

Monday activities
Mary and Seth are starting to get bored. With each other, with playing at home, with me. They found an egg coloring kit in the garage, and I broke down today and let them color eggs.
We went to the Unser Racing Museum earlier today, and it is finally starting to get warm out, so this was a good enough inside activity. However if the ask to celebrate Christmas next month I am putting my foot down.

Call me crazy
Whenever I bring anything home from the thrift store they go in here before the kids can have them. In this load we have Mary's bunny, a $6 purse I bought at Target, two angel bears we found, and a beanie baby rooster for Ruth.
I wash all the things we buy in hot water with detergent, and then air dry them in the washer after they dry out for an hour or two. It doesn't seem to hurt the animals any, and I fell better knowing wherever they have been, they are clean before going to the kids room.
Painting
A rescue
We went to Savers to get Matt a new pair of shorts, and came home with this. It is a Build A Bear bunny, Mary has one, but she and I could not stand the thought of someone just giving away a Build a Bear. So we bought it ($1- they are $12 at the store), took it home, will wash it, and Mary has twin bunnies now. There names are Caramel and Coconut.
Not always Mommy and me

It's going better than I thought
Well, it is the first day of just me and Mary, and it's going well.
We had to be across town at the property this morning, so we got coffee and iced tea at Mc D's, bough and installed a washer, and had lunch while watching a t.v. show.
My biggest fear has and is that Mary is used to being "entertained". She's the youngest, and there has always been someone there for her.
Mary has been loving on her dog Dash, that's cute to see. (I would include a photo, but she still will not let me take her picture)
Ruth called this morning, I put her on speaker phone and let her talk to Dash, that was so funny.
Dash could not figure out where Ruth's voice was coming from, and was barking like crazy.
Great fun!!

Ruth is going to Co
I am leaving tomorrow to take Ruth to Colorado to stay with Grandma and Grandpa.
This is really good timing since she is feeling a bit left out with our neighbors son here for the summer. He gets along with Mary like they were separated at birth, and Ruth gets to feeling a bit like a third wheel even though they do include her.
I'll post updates as I have them, and if I can I will take and post pictures of Mary.
In other news, Matt's folks are on their way to Israel today. Pray for a safe trip for them.
Check back soon for more news, I'll keep everyone posted.

Summer time
Ever wonder what kids do in the summer.
Here you go.
1. Don't wear shoes. Walk around until your feet are totally black.
2. Play outside all day, coming indoors only for food.
3. Have your friends over. All the time.
4. Consume one box of Popsicle a day.
5. Play for 12 hours straight every day, 7 days a week.
