My little helpers

We had our well pounded back in June. I didn't know there was going to so much more work to do after the drill guy was done. Matt had to dig a 4 foot trench from the well casing into the house. After that he had to cut out the holes in the casing for the pit less adapter. That was harder than he thought it was going to be, he broke through 3 different drill bits. Next came the foot valve 2 sets of 40ft long hose had to be put down into the well. After that was all done came the hard job of filling in the trench. Matt and myself did most of the work, after an hour or so we decided to put the girls to work. Hailey did a great job helping, Missy on the other hand was not as much help. Missy had to change her dress twice because she got mud on it, and her shoes 3 times. She also had to put her hair up. She said it kept getting in her eyes, so she went in the house. Thinking that she was going to come out with a half up pony tail, I was surprised to see her with her underpants on her head. After a while we finally got the trench filled in, but Missy kept her silly hat on for the rest of the night!

My weekend.

We went to Darien Lake for a few days. We left home Friday morning for a weekend with no children, our first in a few years. It took about 4 hours to get there but once we did we wanted to spend the day at the park. Matt had never been on a rollercoster before this weekend. His first was this old wooden one, it was a rough ride. Shook us all over. When we were in line waiting we noticed that the ride of steel had stopped almost all the way at the top. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a 208ft incline. The workers said that the power had gone out in the next town over, leaving the poor people on the ride sitting at the top waiting to come down. The ride was still working when Matt and I got off ours but there was no way I was going on it! We went on a few more rides that first day. When we were done we went to the camp grounds to get settled in. We did not expect our friends till well after 9pm so the husband and myself sat by the fire and read for a bit. The next day we got to the park when it opened, we went on every possible ride that would scare the heck out of us. My cousin hates heights so much, that he doesn't climb ladders. He went on every thing we did, even the Mind eraser! You are suspended with your feet hanging down and there are 3 loops. Feels like you are going to fall out. After the ride we went back to the parking lot wich at this time had turned into tent city. We ate dinner and hung out before we headed into the Tom Petty concert. My husband and I had never been to a concert before, it was awesome! There were so many people and the prices for a beverage were crazy. I'm am not a Tom petty fan at all but the lights and music were amazing. It took us an hour to get back to the truck and drive to the camp, 3 miles away. The next morning when we were packing up it started to rain. On our way home the wipers stopped working. At home I ordered a pizza for dinner and did nothing else. It was a great weekend I got to spend time with my closest friends and family, and look forward to doing it again next year.

My Grandmother is home at last!

She has been gone since last year before mothers day . She has been at the Samaritan Keep home, she has done well for the most part. She also has had some bad times, for now she is doing well. She will be going to dialysis Mon, Wed, Fri. Home Tues. and Thurs. My mother and myself rearranged her room so her wheel chair can go in and out. She cant walk so she needs her wheel chair. I will be getting lots of practice with basic nursing skills with her being there.

My week

I didn't have work today so me and the girls did all our running. I had to go to the bank, store to take cans and bottles back. Matt's allergies have been bothering him pretty bad so I took my blankets from our bed to the laundry mat and washed them. After dinner the girls and I went to Sixberry lake and went for a quick swim at the boat launch. We got a new kitty last week. His name is cracker, he is 6 weeks old. Such a hand full, into everything and the kids wont leave him alone. I'm going to wait a month or 2 before I put him outside he is still a little to small.

last day at work

I had the oxbow fire dept. bring there water wall for the day. The kids had a blast they got covered in mud, and the water wasn't that cold. When we were done I made some hot dogs and the kids played man hunt. When I got ready to leave the hugged the girls. I enjoyed my time with them and have already said that I would like to do it again next year.
