Thursday, May 2

Today is Debbie's birthday and tomorrow Patsy will be 75, I guess. That is what Betty said.  Betty sent me a card for Patsy's birthday.  Patsy is old and Betty is senile.  Thanks for the card and other things, Betty.

And, we got the package from Helen today.  There were toys for Robert, school supplies which Hannah confiscated, a few clothes for Robert which he did not even look at, and lots of clothes and a purple bed cover for Hannah.  She loved all the clothes and the purple thing for the bed.  We had to wash it and put it on the bed tonight.

May Day, May Day

Tuesday, April 30

Last day in April, but it is supposed to be cold again Thursday and Friday.

Kids are doing great.  Today was supposed to be Mom visit, but another no show and not even a call this time.  Visits are to be supervised by DHS.  I think she thought MIL was going to supervise.  They said same time next Tuesday, but probably she will not be there.

We bought a 18V battery powered electric weed eater Sunday.  I plan on using it on the graveyard.  I tired it today and it works really well and is not nearly as heavy as George's big gas weed eater.  I may take it to the graveyard this weekend and see if I can cut the grass.

Still no package from Helen.  I bet she did not even send one, she just said that to fool us.

Beautiful Sunday

Emmy was here and took all the kids for rides on the neighbor's 4 wheeler.  They all loved it, but Robert loved it the most.  Then I took them over to Callen's branch slab and they played in the water on the slab.  It was 70 degrees but the water was still very cold.

Tomorrow, I have a meeting at Robert's school to see what they recommend for him, and how to get him transferred to this side of the county.

Everyone is asleep except the old folks.  

The kids rash is about gone.  The doctor said to use dove soap, and clear detergent on their clothes.   I could not find unscented shampoo for Hannah and a friend at work recommended using  baby shampoo. I got Johnson's Baby Shampoo for her and it has really helped her hair.  It rinses out much better and her hair does not tangle so much.  I would really like to have her hair cut short, but Dad says no.

Back to school tomorrwo.

Saturday, April 27, First Weekend

Things are going pretty good.  Kids have settled in and seem fine.  Yesterday was supposed to be first mom visit but she was a no show.  Today starts weekend with family.

I will have to go grocery shopping today.  Robert eats really well, but Hannah not so much.  I asked her what she like to eat. She said Strawberries and Steak.  I may just go on to the store in a bit before the Saturday crowd shows up.

I am up early, but I went to bed before 8 last night.  Was a little tired, but better now.

New clothes, new room, new furniture

Daddy got the room wall finished yesterday.  Today, we bought a new bedroom set for her.  It came with a bed, nightstand, dresser with mirror, and a chest.  We put the chest in Robert's room.  She loves the room.

First night in new room, no bed yet.  Slept on the floor in our new sleeping bag.  She said she really slept good.

Boy.

Two kids in new room and new bed.
