11 Weeks - Eating Ice Cream Again

Eleven weeks . . . we are eating ice cream again. We'd often eat icecream when the little ones would be in bed and the evening chores were done. But no one really asked for it for weeks. Then, it seems like, we just started eating it again this week - no celebrations - just getting back into some "routine". Norm said to me later - notice we hadn't eaten icecream for quite some time and we are now. It's just seems "different" I guess. Nothing we can totally put our finger on.

Four men from our church spent from 11 a.m. to about 8 p.m. helping Norm again. A closet was made in the schoolroom/family room, which at one end is now going to be Stephen's new room. He has a nice big closet. I got his corner all painted yesterday, and his bed & nightstand are in there. I think he might sleep down there for the first time tonight.

Drywalling has begun in our "new" bedroom (boy's old bedroom). The way this house was built, we are finding many crooked walls, so one wall had to be taken down and rebuilt so we did not have curvy walls. There sure is a lot of dust around here with this!

Before the men came over there was an AWANA "Regatta Boat Competion". Jayson (15) won for "First Place Design" - thought it sunk when put in water! Jessica (8) won third place in her age group - even though Norm had to bring her home early because she had a nose bleed that would not stop. She is on coumadin (blood thinner) for her artificial mitral valve and we were concerned her blood was too thin - but it wasn't. It's probably our dry winter weather here. Her sisters still enter hers, so she was excited when they brought a ribbon home for her!

Well, time for icecream . . .
