5 cent skittles and a stinky house…

With a blog title like that who could resist reading our weekly shenanigans…

I finally satisfied Seth with a craft at home…but he’s blocked out of the pic-sorry buddy! They all had fun though. 

A little dodgeball at the church…

Isaac helping me with my spinner for primary—he’s the best! 

The only thing worse than the teenager with his face in a screen is the teenager -or screen-ager- and ALL of his siblings with their face in the screen🤯🤯🤯

Family bonding? Ug-not what I in mind! 

And this cat😡 wants to be an inside cat and I’m not having any of it! At least I have a helper to get the dumb thing out. I don’t want to jinx myself but I haven’t had to touch it yet. 

This next pic is only 1/2 the story…

We ended up gluing the g# key together…but at the wrong angle??? Whoops—how did we screw that up?—but it didn’t fit back in at all…so the he went at it with a jig saw…but by time it would fit back in it was too narrow…so he glued more wood to the other side. 

And that’s are far as we are in the story. 

Time will tell! 

Tuesday morning I had a plastic kid plate on the front burner and accidentally turned it on instead of the back one-then I left and went in the other room so that was a bit of a disaster. 

By time I found it there was smoke so thick I could barely see through it everywhere and the smell of burning plastic. It was awful! Oh and it was 16 degrees outside so having all the windows open wasn’t very fun. And I should’ve opened the doors but I didn’t want the stupid cats in. It was awful! It was a good day to be gone because of the lingering burnt plastic smell. Addi and I went ministering. We had an extra errand of running Seth his backpack but we left just after 9:00 and didn’t get back until 1:30 😳

It was kindof a disaster, maybe if I was a better ministering sister I’d have known the gal was having some hearing issues. But we’d made an appointment and drove a 1/2 hour

but no one answered so I called-nothing. So I called another friend who lives up that way drove 10 or so more minutes and visited, it was fun to see her-I learned her husband was having a pacemaker put in Thursday it was just good to see them and we stayed plenty long. When I walked outside my phone started dinging with the text that hadn’t come through while I was in her house-it was the other gal asking if I was lost. Ug, no, I thought we were headed home but instead told her we were  our way…and we stayed there plenty long too. But it was good to visit and I learned a lot. Good enough! Driving home we drove by one of those Discount Grocery Stores I’d never been to—so we swung in,  this one was definitely Amish. Anyway I ended up buying Colt a pack of sour skittles for a nickel and it was the hit of the week. I’m sure those babies were on the normal store shelves 2+ years ago. Whatever-the kids loved them! 

After all of that Wednesday we laid low except for setting up the nativity over at the cemetery. No one will see it over there but I don’t care-I know it’s there and that’s all that matters. 

I think I’m going to change it a little—then I’ll post a pic

Somehow he talked me into buying basketball pics. …so I bought the cheapest ones and took a picture of the picture: 



Tonight we took everyone over to the game in Milan





But the highlight was stopping by the Hatcher’s on the way back. Isaac bought a chainsaw (he’s needed one for a while) and it was just fun to see Kathy since we don’t see each other at church anymore with the way the ward boundaries changed. 

Anyway. 

I gotta quit. I’m falling asleep! 

Since YouTube kicked me off I’ve slowed down on weekly video…might have to become an every few weeks kinda thing…
