Read This, or I'll Drop a House on You!

Hello, all. Another eventful day on the prairie. Had the nephews over today, when Dan got home this morning I was up with Skyler and Dan was being typical hubby and I asked Skyler what we should do with him, of course he said we should throw him away. I told him that if we threw him away I wouldn't be his aunt anymore and I asked what if uncle Dan had a different wife and quick as a wink the kid says"And you had a better husband?" Hubby just can't win with his own nephew. Then Misty brings Ditton over about noon and Alex and the boys gave Milo and Otis a bath, then they all played in the pool(kids, not the dogs, they have their own pool). That in itself was a site, if anyone knows Alex they realize he is a tall big kid and Erin got into the pool too. So anyone driving by could see four children in a kiddie pool about the size of a tin can. White trash anyone? After hubby woke up we decided to put up another pool, when that was done being filled hubby told Alex to shut the hose off, all the while he was spraying the poor boy, in the process of him running from his dad, he gets over the spout and starts screaming his head off, I thought he saw a snake so being the good mom I am. I stayed put and made dad go over there. Next thing I hear is that Alex has a nail in his foot. So dad takes him to the er and calls me up very mad because they would not give him a tet. shot. But they insisted that he would be up to date because of school. But all is well with the boy. This was the first time he was ever in the er for something other than an illness.

So last night we decided to watch a family movie. We watched the WIZZARD OF OZ. Poor Dan didn't know what he was getting into. Alex and I can quote that movie word for word. Dan was ranting about the munchkins marching like nazi's. So it really wasn't as simple as quietly watching. It was interactive. Be warned if you ever watch movies with us, that's what we do.

My sister called and when I was talking to her, my call waiting went off and I was surprised to see it was from my friend John in Nashville, it had been over a year since we talked. So much has happened and it was great to hear from him. But the poor man is still a die-hard Cubs fan. Someday he'll learn.

Tonight, hubby and I are going to Decatur and do a litttle shopping( Dollar Tree, anyone?) and then we are having supper with my sister at Tators. I'm sure I'll have more to say about that.

I wish that I had Jesse's Blog.
