Three In a Bed
Boo and Philip are off at Cub Scout Camp this week so I’m also left with a week of no school and creative dinners. We don’t really have room for all the food my neighbors left when they moved, so we’ve been working our way through it while the men folk are away. Last night it was whole wheat pancakes from a mix, before that it was TV dinners and earlier, frozen taquitos and fish sticks. Not our normal fare at all, but a fun diversion. Plus, we parked ourselves in front of the TV during dinner time and watched Disney movies.
Hey, that reminds of a time in junior high school when my dad was teaching in San Francisco for awhile. Every night my mom and I would eat dinner in the living room in front of the TV and watch reruns of CHiPs. Funny.
It’s amazing the kind of time I have on my hands right now. We’ve been filling it in all sorts of different ways. Monday we went to Build-A-Bear for our end of the year Brownie blow out. Somehow I came home with a bear, a dinosaur and a WebKinz mouse. Funny how that happens.  My friend Tami came over and started weeding my front garden which resulted in us (ok, HER) pulling out two dead bushes and showing me how to tie up the foliage from the long gone daffodils. We rearranged some of my potted plants and now my front yard looks Yard of the Month worthy. Too bad they don’t actually do that on this base. I was then inspired to re-pot all of my houseplants and they look so much happier now. Then this morning I was sitting in the shade of the carport and I noticed how much junk was lying around, so I cleaned up around there, too.
I’ve got a couple of other projects I need to tackle before the boys return tomorrow evening.
As for the title of this post? Both Pumpkin Girl and Bip are sleeping in my bed for the week. I just wish they weren’t both such early risers.
