She had to ask, didn't she?

I have absolutely nothing exciting to update you with. I have been either on the couch or in bed almost the entire weekend. I have had the flu. But, I think I am on the up side of this. I really hope so...because really you can only watch so much T.V. I have major cabin fever & I want out of this house. I have been inside for 2 days straight. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be back to feeling better.

I had to share a story/quote of the day....reflecting back to our VERY tragic cat story that I shared on my last post. On Thursday my friend/neighbor's little girl Abigael got off of the bus here at our house. Abigael needed a sitter for about an hour until her parents got off of work. So Isabella, Jack, and Abigael are walking up the drive from getting off of the bus. All of a sudden Abigael notices blood sprayed all over our driveway (what had frozen to the ground)

Abigael asks Isabella, "What is THAT??"

Isabella- "NOTHING!"

Jack responds: "Oh that's blood. My mom ran over our cat the other day. Blood squirted all over the place, it flopped up and down in the air, and then it died. It was really gross!"

Isabella rolls her eyes.

Mama sighs.

What can I say? He is all boy.

cleanin' up

Yesterday Jack pointed out that our night flowers were all dead. Actually I planted morning glories & moon flowers-but I like his name for them better. The "night flowers" only bloom at dusk and were so fun to watch all summer. Anyways, I had a great idea to get all their energy out from being indoors all day. I bundled them up and told them to go ahead and rip out the dead vines. They had so much fun, and so did little sister watching from the window. I wonder if they would be o.k. if I gave them a ladder and had them work on the gutters tomorrow?
