Day 205

Mystery solved.  Jolie doesn't like a cold toilet seat so she puts toilet paper all over it before she sits down, then because she doesn't want to overflow the toilet she throws the TP in the trash.

Day 201


July 20th, 2014
Sunday

We had Jolie's birthday party tonight.  Jolie and Jenna LOVE Frozen.  Angie was very sweet to make Jolie this beautiful cake.  I had to take lots of pictures of it.  It was hard to eat because it is so pretty.  

Day 200

Saturday

This is Jaren's left wrist.  He sprained it while rollerblading.  He got pretty scraped up when he fell.  He and I stayed up most of the night alternating heat and cool, and essential oils.  It's healed up pretty well.

Jolie got her ears re-pierced today.  She got them pierced when she was eight years old, but they closed up.  Her best friend Jenna got her ears pierced too.  It was a fun ladies afternoon out.

Today is Jolie's 10th birthday and I didn't even take a picture of her.  We went swimming with the Kenner family, glad to see them one more time.  Top picture are Angie and I, bottom is Jadon.

Got a gift today from the Portland Police, found in the van winch wiper.  My "crime", well, I will let you guess.  When I have success getting this taken care of I'll share what it was for.  

Day 196


July 15th, 2014
Tuesday

Ahhh, the exciting things I do in the middle of the night.  Loo spray, it's to spray in the toilet before you use it so the rest of us don't have to smell it.  Works really well actually.  

Day 195

Monday

Someone had a water balloon in the house.  Apparently the neighbor kids were selling them, they are always trying to find some way to make money.  Thankfully my children did NOT pay for them.  .

We had the front door open this evening, with the hanging down screen.   Next thing I knew a dog was running around in the house.  We don't have a dog.  Little Maggie was freightened from the fireworks and ran from her yard.  We sat with her on the front porch, comforting her and eventually her family (who was SOOO worried) drove by and saw us.
