Spring is Popping Up!

It got to 60 here today...cloudy and a bit breezy so not REAL warm...but still it is beginning to seem like Spring is on its way...and seeing the jonquils, crocus, and other bulbs popping through the earth at least puts Spring in our minds!

We had a busy day. When I got up, Woody was already off running errands. He went to Lowes, WalMart, K Mart, Kroger, the library, and the barber. This was his first trip back to the barber since he lost his hair due to his chemo back in the summer. He came back looking much tamer. The barber said that his cowlick was what was causing his hair to have such a "wild" look. While he was gone, Graham called to see if he and his sisters could come over and help me with "things." I did put them to work finding some of the toys that had gotten misplaced and the girls straightened up the tea party. I started stripping beds and getting wash going. Woody took the three girls back to Lowes to purchase a barrel planter for the back patio. Graham worked with his K'nex for a while. He's happy to have his K'nex back in the living room so he can once again build. The girls helped Woody transfer dirt from the old broken barrel to the new one till it was time for their lunch. After lunch, Woody drove Nathan to the airport in Nashville. Graham and Abigail came back over and spent most of the afternoon here. Neither Kathy or Nathan are feeling the greatest...looks like "travelers revenge" has gotten them. Nathan was feeling much better by the time that he headed off this afternoon. I fixed a couple of things on a dress that Abigail got in Indonesia and then pressed it. She plans to wear it in the morning. When Woody got home he and Abigail went back out to finish transferring the dirt.

After supper, Woody and I ran an errand for Kathy. When Woody took the purchases over there, he stayed for a few minutes and took Elijah up to bed. Kathy told Goosey that Elijah's pacie was on his bed. Well, Woody came down and said that they never did find the pacie, but that Elijah was in bed. Kathy went upstairs shortly after that and there was the pacie on Elijah's bed...but no Elijah. She called and called and couldn't find Elijah. They finally found Elijah in Esther's bed...under his blue blanket with his fingers in his mouth! Woody had put him in the wrong bed! (To give Woody the benefit of the doubt...they change rooms around a lot next door and it is hard to keep track of where the children sleep!) When I told Woody what he had done, he said that what was funny was that he had played a game when he took Elijah upstairs and on purpose took him to the wrong bed first (Kathy's & Nathan's) and asked him if that was his bed and Elijah said "yes" and Woody said "no this isn't your bed"...then he proceeded into what was really Elijah's room and Elijah told him that wasn't his bed...so Woody went on to the next room and Elijah said that Esther's was his! Anyway, Kathy has them all in their correct beds now...and hopefully all is quiet over there for her!
