Thursday Thirteen

1.
I was walking by the kids hall and they were heading into Doves room with towels. I thought about the relationship to water and or anything else that I might want to know about so after a moment I looked around the corner to find this...
Dove was playing yoga teacher to Dash.
They were making up all kinds of poses.

Now any one who does yoga out there I think we could call this one bummed in the face.:)

It was adorable. I think that they say this some time ago on a PBS show.
Too cute. They have been off of TV and all media for two weeks almost and the creativity is amazing!

2.

I was here shot... She was using the camera apparently wanted to see herself.
3.

She showed us what she saw.
The ever present dog.
I tell you a should of named this dog "Johnny" for Johnny on the spot.

4.

Oh yes I did, I thought it would be worth a try so I picked one up for myself at the drug store.
I do not have the verdict out yet. I'll let you know.
5.

I have used this sewing machine for over 26 years. It was built in the 1950's.
I know it like the back of my hand (or better).

It is time to become more modern. I gave some time to learning the new 1++ viking.
It is so full of bells and whistles. It even tells me what foot to use. I threaded the bobbin and have sewn one panel sides.
6.

Dove desired to chop the lettuce for lunch today. She was really impressed with the big knife.

7.
I boiled 12 eggs and mixed the dressing for egg salad. I put the dressing in the refrigerator until the eggs were done and chopped.
8.
Dash wanted to stir

EGG SALAD
hard boil 12 eggs with 1 tablespoon vinegar in water (helps to dissolve the shell)
1/3 mao
2 tablespoons mustard
3 tablespoons
2 dash paperica
2 dash's celery salt ground in the pestel
let the dressing set

This is a beautiful batch of egg. When I thought they were done. I took one out and cut it in half to confirm it. Drain eggs under water.
8.

"can I stir mom?
"sure"...say I The more they are involved in making the meal the more they enjoy and eat
it.
10.
Two choices within my peramiters...
Dove likes crackers
Dash loves just the salad
I enjoy rice crackers and lettus.

11
Lots to sew...
The bathroom cleaned and detailed!
I am so excited!

12.
Second load of disheds in before 12:30
Chickens are sleeping in the heat.

13.
Tomorrow is meet the teacher. and the last day of summer vacation for the kids. Soon I will have a quiet house again. The laughter and shouts will fade as the school bus pulls off down the street. I expect the silence to be deafening. I will be making three lunches instead of one. The Dogs will miss the play mates. Fall will soon be in the air. Hours of sewing and unpacking in store for me.
Evening of homework and personal relationship problems for the children. Learning all the new teachers and players in the lives of my thriving children. Second and fourth grades are the new lessons taught. My sweet daughter will be with kids two years younger than her. I do so hope she is able to cope with the new challenges ahead. I pray for her esteem and for her safety as she is so very vulnerable socially. Dash will have to overcome the hearing aide stares.
Oh Sweet glorious life!
I have not been alone from my kids hardly at all for 3 months now.
I'll go be with the little goof balls. They are playing TV with the puppet show house.
