We had a full weekend...Demi had his last day of T-ball Friday night, Meg had orchestra Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I took all 4 kids to sears to buy clothes and shoes. It went really well, Demi and Amie were a little squirelly, but behaved. The deal was they endured the clothes shopping and then I would buy them each a cookie and we would look at the alligator infront of Rainforest cafe.
My little adventure at the cookie shop- I was waited on by a little old lady/grandmother- type/enterprising owner of store type-and somehow I ended up walking away with I don't know how many cookies, 12$ later. I really don't think well under pressure. You know this kind of pressure...you are trying to keep your flock together, suddenly it seems there are 10 kids, not just 4-and they are blocking all the other customers from getting to the counter. The two little ones are climbing the display case and putting their hands all over the glass, all four keep changing their minds as you are trying to order the cookies and you can see the person helping you losing patience. So amidst all this, the enterprising grandma-type person high pressures me with something like buy 3 more and get one free. I honestly only wanted 4 cookies and a diet coke! Well, I predict this little lady will one day own all of Orange County.
Lord's day we had company for lunch, I made tortellini chicken soup and green-tea muffins. The green tea muffins because one of the bible college girls mentioned she loves baked goods with this ingredient added. So, I saw a mix at Trader Joe's..they came out really green. Good tasting, but really disturbingly green. I decided they would be good for next St. Patrick's day.
Evening we had the Bible college brothers over, we made carni asada. We had a really sweet time. We sung the hymn by Mdme. Guyon again (from another post here) and a few others that were set to 60's tunes (those wild bible college students...) I thought it really funny that they did not know the original tunes, made me feel old!
One of our chickens might be sick, we are going to take her to the expensive bird Dr. today. Expensive as in-it's cheaper to take my kids to the pediatrician...She (the chicken) is losing feathers like crazy and I don't think she has laid an egg in a week. I am worried she might be egg-bound. She is doing normal chicken things, which is a good sign. She is the smartest chicken of the flock and has the most personality, we don't want to take any chances of her getting really sick.
And to the person who found my blog by googling the words "bobbing for apples, germs", I'm pleased to know I am not the only person who obsesses about these things...I never would have thought to research it however, just worry...
pass me a wet-wipe...
my post on that subject is here. Have fun and talk amongst yourselves...
