Vacation Time!
Ok, not really. However, we are house sitting again for the next week. Some friends were going out of town on a family vacation and asked us to take care of their dog, garden and home. No problem! It is a gorgeous home. I would love to take this house and put in the middle of about 10 acres. It would be fabulous! I love homes that have character and this one definitely does. Hardwood floors, screen doors, old fireplaces….ahhhh so nice!
I decided why not make this a bit of a vacation for us? We will be doing a tiny bit of school but other than that we are just going to RELAX! Nice walks in the morning and evening. Running around and climbing trees in the afternoon. Ok, I won’t be climbing trees but I might take a picture or two of the kiddos. We saw a sign about an old band concert tomorrow. Mary is begging to go so I think we might swing by and see how it is.
We will have a game night here or there. I think we will be starting a new read aloud. Make some yummy snacks. A movie night or two.
Yep. Works for me!
In other news….
Last night for dinner, we were served jello with bananas. Bekah does not like bananas. However, she does enjoy jello. She decided that risking a bite of banana was worth it to get the jello.
Today, we had grapes and sliced bananas for snack. Bekah was hungry. So she said, “Well, the bananas didn’t make me throw up last night like I thought they would so I guess I’ll try them without jello.”
Ooookay.
Surprise, surprise, she liked the bananas.
Does this mean I should toss some green beans in jello? Snort.
Is this what I have to do to get you to visit? Move out for a week so you can come housesit?
I think green beans in the jello just might be worth a try…although, you should eat them too and I want photographic proof, LOL.
Sigh. I miss you. We need to chat this week.
Hey, I like green beans but no way on the jello. I can not eat Jello. Oh. My. No.
I know…and the jello was what I meant…Bekah eats green beans/jello and you just eat jello. One bite. One pic. I’ll be satisfied.
I’m am so sorry. Not happening. Just seeing the jello shivering on the spoon sends me over the edge. *shudder*
