I've gotten behind with my blogging. The big rooster is still working and enjoying his job. He got his first paycheck and he and the Colonel went to open up his own checking account. He was so proud as well he should be. His report card looked really good and that keeps the teacher-mom happy. I am thankful that he is still making good decisions.
The little clucks are into baseball and still have Legos all over my house. They are enjoying school; although Nick did tell me one day last week that he was bored. I asked him why he was bored and he said, "Mrs. Stewart made me too smart." I howled.
Yesterday was birthday #47. I slept half the afternoon away. I have been trying to get this house clutter-free and clean. Yesterday I think my efforts just caught up with me and even the sugar from the cake couldn't keep me going once I sat down on the couch.
John Ryan was sick yesterday and this morning. Not sure what is going on with that cluck. He has managed to keep down a few bland food items. We will see how it goes the rest of the day.
School is a bit busier than usual. Spring fever has hit and that makes things a tad bit harder. Dealing with some issues that I have decided to put in God's hands. I feel that I have done all I can as a teacher. I'm staying in my lane and allowing God to work and I'll step back in when He so desires. (Thanks to Alberta and my Sunday school class for lifting those babies up for me.)
I'll let the pictures tell more of the stories over the past few weeks.
The Clucks asked for CiCi's for their birthday dinner.
They eat so good at CiCi's until it is hard to deny them a trip there.
The big rooster ordered an entire plate of cheesy bread. He and his girlfriend Amber ate the entire thing. I would be sick.
Ready for presents
Still silly at seven
Forget the cake...They grabbed a box and flew to the floor to start building...
Gesh, they look like kids out of the novel The Grapes of Wrath. So proud of their Lego Coast Guard ship they put together all alone.
We are at the ball park twice a week. It really is fun to see the little ones improve.
John Ryan waiting on the perfect pitch.
The Clucks love Schiano's homemade meatballs. They each get a bowl of just meatballs and a medium cheese pizza.
The Colonel and I split a special calzone. They are soooooo good at Schiano's.
This is a chair I had my big Rooster and his girlfriend go pick up from beside the road. They brought back two of them that were in pretty decent shape. They need scraping and a couple of coats of fresh paint and they will be perfect in the corner of my ugly backyard.
I re-purposed this last week. It was the stand that went to Blake's snake cage. I have been trying to think of something to do with it for ages. I ended up turning it into a table that was cute enough for my non-formal living room.
T
I got a board for the top, curtain to cover the ugly wood and a table runner and shopped in my spring bin in the basement and ended up with this little table. I took the picture before I ironed the curtain/cover. Sorry, but you get the idea of what I did. (And that entire paragraph will make ever speaker of the English language cringe. HA!)
New sermon series at Shandon--Loving it...Hate that I missed today but can't help when clucks get sick...I'll listen to the sermon Wednesday night once it gets online...
LOVE THIS PLACE!!
My birthday cake has four pieces left. Who ate it all? (SShhhh!)
