Pepperings
Here's a bunch of things I've been wanting to post about, but haven't had pictures or time. Mostly they don't flow together very well. First, Josiah and my tower at the High, we finally made it back and oh baby, it was a hot hot ride. But my Sit N Stand Stroller made the trip much safer. Strolling down Peachtree with Josiah safely strapped made the humid walk worth while.
Although I do not have the opinion of a professional, yet (I say this for my husbands benefit, because he hates when I self-diagnose). I'm pretty sure we have a bat in our chimney. The other night while hearing scratching straight out of a horror movie, I grabbed a lamp and waited staring up at the flu. I just had to wait a moment or so when I saw a CLAW! Yes, a claw. I told my library buddy, Tracie, that I had a bat in my chimney and she said, "Awwwww! But they're so cute!"
I guess if they were all like this, they'd be cute. I named him 'Fifi', that's a cute name. It could be much worse. It could be many many bats! But as of last night I have heard no scratching, I hope the little guy left and didn't die. If he did, poor Fifi, it's not our fault. I did nothing to harm him, but any critters that live in this house that I did not give birth to are kinda not welcome.
I told you my dryer was kaput, and it kinda was. I did one load of laundry and then took all the random pieces of lattice, curtain rods, quarter-round and balanced them on desks and the pack n play. The clothes dried faster than in my hand-me-down dryer! The towels were a bit too crispy though. It was nice, I didn't have to go down stairs to get clean underwear, it was across the hall. It also made my office/guest smell so nice. My dryer s now fixed, and I'm glad too, the outlet was shady and God, once again, protected our family from electrocution. yikes, that's scary to think about.
Joel put up our backsplash and in the process moved the stove. When we moved it back. Beeeeeeooooooerrrrrrpppp. No more power for the stove. This was 11:30 pm. I just about lost it. Joel was just like, "Well, we'll call an electrician." I did the next morning. It's one thing to have a dryer that doesn't work, it's another thing to have a broken dryer and stove. Called the electrician and the stove was fixed before dinner.
My daughter is so funny. I have a few videos I dunno if they'll all work, but enjoy what I do have for you. Silliness for all.
Eden eating a chicken nugget. I promise I wasn't filming this while driving.

I don't know which we got more "more!"s on, the bat video or Eden dancing. Should my boys enjoy watching your girl dance that much?

Lots to say...
The coolest pods and so cute wristlet arrived at my house safely. Thanks for the speedy service. The wristlet is for my daughter at back to school time. She'll love it. I know.
Love the videos. My 5yo loved watching Eden. I loved the deck shenanigans. How much fun! Simple pleasures.
Re: your post below. That is a very good quote to remember. So often we are content to let things be good when God offers us the best.
May God bless you and your beautiful family.
