Dreaded dinner question

I asked my oldest to work with dad on making dinner last night. So he climbs on the floor with dad and said "I'll call Chinese and you go pick it up." Now tell me that's not a great mind at work there.

It's almost summer!!

I am one of those strange parents who looks forward to the school breaks and summer with my kids. Especially right now!! The oldest has started to revert back to having a hard time at school, when I asked him about it yesterday I was told "I am worried about the bullies coming from Belle River to Palms." I know there has been a change with Washington closing but when my six year old is worried about who will be at his school next year - WOW!!! I was heartbroken for him last night.

This morning after the rumble of thunder that shook the house - I mean it might as well have been an earthquake. The youngest looks outside and says "Baton down the hatches mom" Can you imagine why we would pick a Pirate theme for his birthday party?

Spring is officially here, the flowers look great, the garden is a large muck filled area, the chickens are outside (well 10 0f them anyways), the ducks are on the way outside, the pond is cleaned and fish are swimming in there, the grass has been cut even in the swampy side yard once. I guess look around and even with the negative - there is always positive to be found.

Have a great day!!
