our day with Froggy and a view from my door.

first off here is proof of our whitetrashedness. apparently i like to revel in it and show off. Behold the VIEW from my back door
tammy asked for participants and here i am showing off my trashy side. love it? my weed jungle surrounding the "WHEEL OF DEATH"! totally classy!
you wanna come over to play don't you!?!


and my front door view. OH YEAH. loving the fence.

and i did this for tammy, who was threatening to cut me off. for not commenting. YEAH! i know. imagine that. well in my defense. i've been spyed on
and whatnot. and with the new limits. and really i wasn't talking about people i know just people i've commented on for roughly a year, and received less than a handful of comments from. ever.
those are the ones, i've removed. not to say that they couldn't be added again later. but it's one of those why would i continue when they never ever reciprocate. ever! EVER! so that is where i am on that subject. and really i should relax on that too. i know people are busy. so i should cut them some slack. i guess, i'm just ya know bugged by the loads of people i have no clue about. is it time for a roll call? perhaps.

lets see, what else happened since the afternoon post?

Joy brought home froggy to spend the night since she is STUDENT OF THE WEEK! OOOOOLALA! froggy comes over, brings his stuff, and we have to write down what we did, and you know, get him ready for bed in his Pj's and read him a book. MAN another kid to take care of! GOSH!
Joy is in heaven. and froggy has been well behaved for the most part.

after school Liberty made some brownies that were gone far too fast.

So we got out the easter kites, that we haven't used since it's never windy here,

and it was liberty's rad idea.we flew kites. yeah good times. it was a perfect winds-day. we thought "let's go fly a kite"

this is how i keep Pierce out of the street. tricky eh? he could watch and still be safe, kind of. sitting on the cable box.

and let me tell you, i sucked in 3 minutes flat. the kite was great. it went right up, and yet, somehow i lost hold of the cheapy handle and that sucker took off, and flew down the street. it got stuck in some trees,

and then proceeded to fly for a while , and then........
went down. Libby was bawling, and I'm instantly the worst mom ever! i lost her beloved kite, and she didn't even get a chance to fly it yet. so I'm thinking well too bad , we'll buy a new one, and went in to put Peyton's together, and tony comes in and says there is some one else out flying kites there was a blue one down the street. HA! liberty's kite was flying itself.
and flew for the next hour. stuck in the tree down the street. fun and yet sad for Libby.

I talked Joy into getting hers out. since Peyton's cheap kite wouldn't really fly , cheap-O diamond kite from the dollar store was worth about what i paid for it. SUPERCRAP!
so Joy Got hers out. and it went right up,
she of course wouldn't let me hold it. but ya know my track record wasn't looking so great today. man there were people driving by to see, kids came down the street and around the block to discuss the kite flying, and it was pretty fun. anyway, we realized it was time to bring it in for basketball, so before we put it away Liberty had a turn,

and then Hope,

and then Lance gave pierce a turn with the kite.

yeah this picture was taken seconds before he let go, and Joy's kite flew down the street!
we lost 2 kites in one day.

Luckily we chased it down the street, and it was caught in another lower front yard tree, so Lance rescued it. and Joy got to finish flying it, and landed it safely on the ground to be flown on another windy day.

on the way back down the street towards home, Lance let liberty and Paxton go see if they could recover Liberty's kite, in that neighbors yard. and she did. HALLELUJAH. whoohooo! all we need is some new string since it broke while they were rescuing it. so we took Peyton to basketball practice, and headed to sonic for wacky Wednesday. these kids never forget. they insist we go.

so after basketball practice we rushed to the school for "reading under the stars"
they had book characters, (teachers dressed up) and they had little autograph books for each kid, and treats, they had a picnic on the courtyard too, BUT we weren't early enough for that, we got there with maybe 40 minutes to wander around. they loved it.

we saw Junie B. Jones (joy's teacher)


and Captain' Jack sparrow,

and the" train conductor/engineer from the little engine that could"(Paxton's teacher)

and CAT In THE HAT(Peyton's teacher but Peyton was gone wandering around with his friends)

we also saw
Harry Potter, and a bunch of mice with cookies.
and some wild things too.
then we came home

Put froggy in his Pj's

read him his book "froggy's first day of school"and off to bed!

NIGHTY NIGHT!
now froggy, stay in bed, no wandering around, and try not to hog the covers! SHEESH!
"no you can't have a drink again. you'll pee the bed for sure!
