BACK TO.... NORMAL???

We're slowly adjusting back to life at O-Ville.

I've about conquered Mt. Washmore.

After waiting two days & literally chasing down the mailman & blocking his truck yesterday, I got our mail delivered to us today. (New guy getting used to the new route & can't read, obviously.) Need to finish sorting it... some time!

Boys have been grounded from screens for a day already for not obeying. Patrick is coming to the end of being grounded from books for 4 days (he wasn't even back in town for 4 hours before he got in trouble).

Ryan, of course, is now sick. Losing his voice (if only that would happen to Kevin!) and running a slight temp, plus sleeping a lot (which we all need to be doing).

Took a day to cool off the house. Blech!

Hannah survived her "vacation" at the groomer's house. Apparently they have a service dog because their son has trouble with stopping breathing in his sleep... and they said that Hannah was actually alerting him / them before the service dog did when he was having breathing issues! Guess she missed her calling... She's glad to be home to her own couch & bed, especially now that the squatter has left and is back in St. Louis.... >wink<

Boys are going to VBS this week at the church where I do MOPS. They seem to really be enjoying it, but of course, they'd rather eat dirt than admit it. The theme is "Jungle Jive" and yesterday they did a backpack craft, and today they made "animal callers". The crafts are REALLY nice!
