Eastwood Fall Festival

Friday was Fall Festival day at Matthew's Preschool. The instructions for the costumes, according to MATTHEW, were dress up like something you would see on a farm, OR, something at the State Fair. Yes, that's right, he said "state fair". After speaking at length with him about this "assignment", and receiving a note from the teacher, I realized that it was to dress up like something you see on a farm, or a FAIRY TALE. We both had a good laugh over this one!!!

Mrs. Sharon, Matt's teacher, dressed up like a scarecrow! TOO CUTE!!

LIKE I SAID....

NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!!!!!

Monday and Tuesday, I spent the day at home with my Rebath Installer anticipating what my bathroom was gonna look like. It actually turned out better than I ever imagined. Now, to pick out the paint. I picked out the most rich Java Brown. I have been waiting a long time to have my brown and blue room and decided the boys bathroom would be the perfect place. Last night upon leaving choir practice, I got a phone call from Chance with a voice of desperation!!! He said, HURRY!!! Get home, Matthew has dumped the whole gallon of paint on the bathroom floor! When I pulled up in the driveway, Matt met me at front door. "It was an accident!" he proclaimed. I trotted to the bathroom -- there sat chance on the toilet, not using it, but looking desperate! All I could do was laugh -- there was my beautiful Java paint puddled in my bathroom floor. Yes, splashed all over my crisp white walls, spattered on my crisp white toilet and vanity. No use getting worked up, the damage had apparently been done. Poor Lane just took the boys and went and shut them up with him in my bedroom. I guess he knew they were better off in the other end of the house. Of course, it was ALL Matthew's fault according to Chance. He wonders why I don't do projects with the boys when I am home alone! DUH!! Needless to say, thankfully, we got it all cleaned up. But like I said, it is NEVER a dull moment!!!

OOPS! It Happened AGAIN!

Chance assured me the other night after Tweety Bird left, that I wouldn't have move my wreath to another door. Well, HE WAS WRONG!!!! He told me the only reason she had nested there to begin with was because it was fixing to rain. So, I didn't move it. Needless to say, the wreath has been moved after Chance swung a broom at her for another 30 minutes this morning as she flew throughout my living room. She darted in just as he opened the door to leave for work! This time I had to rearrange my living because she rather enjoys my trees and flower arrangements. If she comes back again, she is gonna have to have a Tax I.D. number with her!!!

The Doctor is In

Eastwood Baptist Church / Daycare / Hospital
Dr. Weeks took good care of his patient Miss Grace Wilson at pre-school last week.

An Uninvited Guest

Last night, I opened the door to walk Elisa (little girl from next door) home. My head was nearly taken of Tweety Bird! A little wren seemed to have taken up residency in my wreath and then decide it liked my house (inside) better. That is until it was faced with 3 screaming little boys. It flew around my living room for the better part of 30 minutes. If I moved, or the boys moved, it was buzz our heads. The boys ended up hiding our in my bedroom until I managed to get it out of the house.

Is it gone yet?

I don't think Noah was as scared of the bird as he was from the other two hollering. Matthew wanted to shoot it with his BB gun and couldn't understand why I wouldn't let him!!!

SEE I KEEP TELLING YA'LL, THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT AT OUR HOUSE!!! IF YOU EVER GET BORED AND NEED ENTERTAINING, STOP ON BY. THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN!!

SURPRISE.....A lesson learned.




This is a two-part blog, you might have caught on by my title. Last night after church, Mr. Lynn Beaty promised Matthew a load of dirt to be delivered to our house this week for him to play in. Well, much to our surprise, a BIG lo-boy dump truck rolled up in our driveway this evening sounding it's horn for Matthew to come out. He got to help back the truck up and dump the dirt in a perfect spot for him to play. WOW!! What a SURPRISE!!! Thanks Mr. Lynn.
Now for Part 2. Lane missed school today. He was sooooo tired and drained, just felt terrible. No fever, but he really was sick. Really sick, that is, until the dump truck rolled in!! He scurried out doors to see just what all the commotion was about. Only to take one diving leap into the dirt pile and be told to get back inside cause he stayed home sick today. He hollered "that's not fair, I was just faking!" OOPS!!! Big mistake! Needless to say, he'll be lucky if he gets to play in it this week!!! YEP, you guessed it. After 2 hours of crying because he couldn't play in the dirt, and telling me how unfair I am, I guess you could chalk it up to a LESSON LEARNED!!!!!

Enjoy!!

Wheeeew!!!

What a busy week it has been!!! Sorry it has been awhile since my last update!!! Don't you just hate it when people don't update our blogs -- sometimes it can be like missing your favorite t.v. show or soap opera!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, Gram went in the hospital on Monday. I am happy to report she got home Thursday and seems to be feeling better each day. She still has a little ways to go as her eye still won't open. Doctor says we will worry about that a later time. The boys are doing great. Matt and Lane are busy with school and preschool, and Noah is busy trying to figure out which "mountain" to climb next.

This is going to be a busy week as well. We will kick it off in our NEW Sanctuary and kids building at church!!! How exciting!!!! Come Join us!!! Then REBATH will be at my house Monday and Tuesday redoing our bathroom -- hopefully I will get it painted before then, if not, it is sure to be there for me. Gram and Noah have doctors appointments this week. Noah is turning 1 year old on the 13th -- yes, that's right, it's already been a whole year!!!! I wish I was happy about him getting "older", but I am not. Lane is getting baptized Sunday the 14th and Mom and Dad will be joining us for that!!!

Sorry to bore you all with such a BLAH BLAH BLAH post, but now at least you are all updated on my life!!! Seems I will just be going in different directions the next few weeks, will update as often as I can!!!!
