February already

What is there to write about this week? I am not quite sure.

I had a whole post written on my computer and I thought published. Then I went in on my phone to add more pictures and it made it all disappear. :(  I’ll see if I can remember what I wrote. First I’ll explain the pictures.

This is the gate that Glen made. He was testing it. He is changing the hinges and then painting it. He’s great! 

Theater 3 just finished their makeup unit. The last thing they do is gore/wound makeup. They always come down to the office to get help for their “injuries” from the secretaries or office staff with the least experience. 

Above is Lilly and her friend Avery. 

 It was pretty convincing. 

Goob turned 3 years old. He’s been a great addition to our clan. 

Lucy’s volleyball team won gold in their first tournament of the year. Only one parent could go to the tournament to stream it and they chose Facebook to stream it on so we didn’t see it. Lucy said she had a great serving run in the first set of the gold medal match. She got the ball when it was 1-0 for her team and the other team got it back when it was 18-1. 

Evelyn’s fridge frozen some of the veggies in our veggie tray this week. Beth peeled the shell off this pea pod and we thought it looked pretty cool. 

Evelyn’s not chewing much these days. Usually she wants something that will “just go down easy.” Sugar in various forms like wafer cookies, chocolates or fudge are the exception. She got some fudge for her birthday from Janene. It finally was eaten down to a point we could put it in the candy jar and Evelyn offered to eat all the crumbs for breakfast. Breakfast of champions. 

The Daryl and Ruth could have Valentine’s parties at school but everything had to be there early to quarantine for a few days. The only perk is that Valentine’s are done. Daryl’s is the car one-“I am glad we are friends . you are ‘axle’utely amazing, and Ruth and Beth are giving the kazoos- “I am glad we are friends. Kazoo are amazing.” I think other parents are not going to be happy with the kazoos. Oops.

Sunday I went up and visited Evelyn and we did our FaceTime call with Aunt Melodee. It’s always fun to visit with her and it lets her see how Evelyn is doing as well. 

After that Evelyn and I went in the front room to visit for a little bit because “the seats are softer.” Evelyn gave me a run down of what she wants for her funeral. I didn’t get it recorded but videoed the recap I did. It was pretty funny. She is a silly lady. (I don’t know if the video will actually show up, my blog has had issues with videos lately.) 

Other good things from this week were-

We finished listening to all the Harry Potter books with Ruth. They are good but I am ready for a break. 

Lilly was cast as Patchy the Pirate in Sponge Bob the Musical that her MDT class is performing this spring. She gets to sing this song.

We had a fun Super Bowl gathering with Jed’s family and Glen’s parents. No pictures of it and the wrong team won. Darn. It was fun to get together though. 

Ruth had her cousin play date reward for perfect piano practice. We had just Anna and Logan over. It was a lot of fun. I think because we usually have a lot more than two cousins over how fun smaller numbers can be. 

After months of hassle for Paige and John, the right papers showing up in our mailbox and email in box, a quick stop at an auto mechanic’s shop for an emissions test by me and an appointment at the DMV by Glen, the Tacoma is officially ours.  It is yet to be seen if Glen will actually let it be a kid vehicle.
