Saturday

Friday-
E-bunny looks pretty good for just falling a few hours before. She loves to "brush" her teeth when the big kids do.

Saturday morning and E-bunny is as happy as a clam!

It's Saturday-the weekend before the start of school. I still have trouble realizing that IC is going to kindergarten in just a few days. It's been a week of waiting, but now I finally know some of the things I need to know for the start of school. The soccer coach called and IC has practice next Thursday, it was supposed to be Tuesday, also, but he has a meeting and can't do it that day after all. So, they have 1 practice before their 1st game on next Saturday. Basically, it sounds a lot like scrimmaging for the little kids, like they did w/ragball (t-ball). I had to run to town to get IC some shin guards, and luckily, I didn't have to go to Wal-mart, a 1/2 hr away to get them.

I ran and got them yesterday after dropping off the kids at my mom's so that I could help DH re-vaccinate calves yesterday morning. It was hot and humid, but it went well. After dinner, I worked all afternoon on cleaning out the store room. I did purge some things and plan to start going through the clothes I have set aside in there to be sold or given away. After I got the kids home, we did IC's calf chores, which he's been keeping up with pretty well. There's just a few complaints, as he doesn't like to carry the hay, since it's scratchy and as we keep adding more pellets, he claims it's getting harder to carry the bucket. I believe it, but I think he can do it, too. We also filled the buckets for Daddy of calf pellets-all 13 of them. Since DH wasn't around at the time, we didn't feed them, just left them ready for him. The kids played outside for a little while. E-bunny, the ever-dare devil-decided to get up on the slide platform while I wasn't looking. I came out of the washhouse, having put the bird feed bucket away to see her fall off the steps. I have never ran so fast in my life. She was on her forearms and knees, already getting up when I got there. I picked her up, then she started to fuss, squirming to get away, because the older 2 were on the swings and she wanted to swing, too! She has a scrape on her arm and that's all I can see for marks. She wasn't knocked out, and I don't think she hit her head, and there's no broken bones-amazing! I think she's got nine lives, which she might need since it seems she's so adventurous! I was thinking later how she fell from nearly 4 ft. and wasn't hurt, while Miss A fell from the couch when she was E-bunny's age and broke her arm!

Today, we FINALLY heard from IC's bus driver, Phil. IC is first on the route and is to get on the bus at 6:40 am! He should be home by 3:45. So, for the 1st week, I will take IC to school in the morning and he'll ride the bus home, then we'll decide what to do then for the rest of the semester.

We had planned to go to the swimming pool today, as tomorrow is the last day it's open, but it's really windy, a little more cooler today and the sun is not shining, as it's sprinkled twice today, so I don't think we'll go. It wasn't until the last couple times we've gone that Miss A's wanted to play in the big pool and IC's gone without a life jacket for part of the time and E-bunny actually played in the water, instead of just beside it. So, maybe it will be even more fun for them next year.

My goal today-work on a couple of scrapping layouts, if the kids let me before E-bunny wakes from her nap.
