It’s going to be a looonnnggg day. Hannah was up all night throwing up. Now Joe has the dreaded “d” & it’s a race to the 1 functioning bathroom we have! UGH….So strange how fast kids get sick! Yesterday afternoon was spent out in the yard, the kids playing on the swing set while dh tried to take down the old one.
lol 
He did get the new one anchored btw…ToysRUs never got in the anchors they said they’d get, of course, so dh did some rigging and now yes we do have dog chains holding down the swing set. Sigh. Oh well at least it works, I guess.
Poor dd. We’ve got a field trip to the Cincinnati Zoo on Friday, she’s worried about being sick & about rain. They keep saying it’s going to rain but so far all we’re getting is gray sky. It’ll probably downpour on Friday! The Zoo has a new baby rhino just born He’s not out yet for the public though.
Speaking of animals, when I was playing around with my camera yesterday I got some pictures of the little birds I watch everyday. They’re so pretty! There’s also a couple of baby Robins living right by the front door under my dogwood tree One flew into the family room window yesterday, he was stunned for a few mins. but ended up OK.
That female Cardinal there is MEAN! lol She usually chases away all the little guys to make room for her hubby I love watching those silly birds! They’re starting to get used to us too, they only take off if we get right underneath them now.
American Idol was just GREAT last night I thought! Bon Jovi wow has he aged well…swoon… Gotta say that Blake was absolutely the best IMHO. His rendition of that song was just perfect! What a way to resurrect a 20yr. old song!! :p I have NO clue who I think will be going home tonight! They all did pretty good.
Gotta make a phone call too..Hannah is really wanting to play soccer. I got some info from her school on a few local programs & now all 3 kids want to play. That’s GREAT! Especially for my 2 oldest. They are both so shy. I really think this would help both Hannah & James. It’ll help Joe too, he’s not been around a lot of kids his own age & really needs to learn how to play with another little guy. Big problem is the cost. We might not be able to do it for all 3 kids. I looked up the info online & it’s 95$ per child. For me that’s 300$!!! For soccer!!! I don’t know what to do. We have till the 6th to decide & I’m going to call to see if there’s any way they would give us a multi-kid discount. I hope so. I don’t want to disappoint someone or all of them. It’s so hard when you just can’t do it all for them.
Got to go work on my 2nd page in the Queen contest too. I haven’t started it yet of course. Story of my process, wait till almost the last min.! This is a hard one for me for some reason. Wishes/desires hmmm…some of them I couldn’t make into a page! lol 
I have to say that getting a preview of the pages entered was just great! They were all soooo darned GOOD! There were some really touching pages on there too. It’s going to be a very hard vote for sure.
