Yesterday - Wednesday was a great day at our house...

Bug and I started school after breakfast and were able to get through several items. Then we took a break and the boys had some free time to play and watch tv. I talked to my friend Amanda on the phone for a while. We have been missing each other lately. Then the boys and I puzzled in their room for a while and watched Bibleman. We did several puzzles together, that was fun. We figured out we were starving so I headed to the kitchen to whip up some tacos and Bug came along to finish up some school work. We set up a table and chair for him and completed several lessons together as I cooked. He did a great job and worked really hard! After lunch Bug and I played a few games of Clue Jr. He got it as a gift for his birthday and he does love it. He loves to play board games... It is a really cute game and lots of fun. He is starting to get the hang of it. If you have young ones it is a great game to get. We had a great day just hanging out here at the house. We didn't even go to church last night. Tuesday was a really hard afternoon for us, so it was good just to be home. I think we are all having a difficult time adjusting to being back at home and trying to be normal again. Plus I am just exhausted and seem to tire so easily these days.

I didn't get to go and help Aunt Shirley yesterday, but I am hoping to go next week. The boys will go to school up there that day. We shall see how it works. I know Aunt Shirley needs/wants help so I am going to try to be there for her as best I can.

Today was a good day overall...

It began sort of rough though. Our dog, Charlie, (little red's favorite) was hit by a car this morning. I saw him in the road when we were leaving. There was a pool of blood by his head so I called Brian and he came and picked him up. He was dead so BJ buried him in the back behind the building. I haven't told the boys yet, I am waiting until tomorrow when BJ is home so that we can do it together and the boys and BJ can make a cross marker for his grave. I just kept thinking gosh...another death for them to hear about. I am beginning to think something is wrong with us. Charlie was really the dumbest animal on earth. He wouldn't stay in the yard for nothing and if we tied him he broke the chain, if we penned him he would bark and whine constantly. But as annoying as he could be, Kaden loved him. Pray for us to go through yet another loss with out children...

At school it was "Pumpkin Day" - which was lots of fun. We played games like pumpkin in the straw, ring the pumpkin and corn husking race, took lots of pictures, saw animals at the petting zoo and ate lunch with our friends. It was great. And exhausting! LOL.

Well, I better sign off for now....add a blog when you can...
