Week 18

I cleaned out the car on Tuesday and found my camera!  YAY!

Monday April 30th
Parker had been right in the middle of cooking Ramen soup when we had to leave to bring Blake to the dentist.  As we were sitting in the waiting room, it dawned on me to ask him if he turned the stove off.  "I can't remember," was not the response I wanted to hear.  I ended up calling my neighbor who went over to check things out for me.  He had, in fact, shut it off.  Phew!!!  And thank God for good neighbors that I can call in case of an emergency.

Tuesday May 1st
When our house was built 9 years ago, the thermostats were not placed in very good places.  The down stairs thermostat was placed right next to hot water pipes and does not read an accurate temperature as a result.  The upstairs thermostat is right at the top of the stairs, where all the heat from downstairs goes.  That one will not kick on unless you have the upstairs temp set higher than the downstairs temperature.  So when one died, Eric thought it was a good time to move them both.   Now I have two holes in my walls, that need to be patched and repainted.  Let's see how long this project takes to get completed.  The mudroom project from 7 years ago STILL isn't completely finished.

Friday May 4th
We had friend's over for dinner and a game of Catch Phrase. 

Saturday May 5th
A busy day!  Kaleigh met her Keeper's of the Home group at the farm and did a horse demonstration.  She talked about the different brushes, showed the girls how to tack up a horse, demonstrated the different gaits and them gave them a ride.  After that, we went back to our house for lunch and a soap making class led my my dear friend Deb.  Then I dropped the kids off at their various locations and got ready for my date!  A coffee house band and the movie Avengers.  It was nice to get out with the hubster.
