It’s Wednesday! Yay! (What We Accomplished… Day # 31-33 8/29-8/31/11)

Apparently I’ve been slacking on the job! Of recording our daily happenings that is. Perhaps it is because I know that soon I will not be able to do it on a daily basis. Eh, perhaps.

Monday was Lee’s last day of paper route. She picked me two pretty flowers (well, there were more than two but for some reason I cannot find the photos of the others )

It’s a photo with my phone camera so it is blurry. That little flower is about the size of my thumbnail

Fox had gotten himself in a wee bit of trouble over the weekend and so I was bracing for a bad day on Monday and Tuesday but no, he was very well behaved. I tried to stay patient with him and feel I did well. That probably contributed to his good behavior.

Here’s what they got done the last three days:

It’s been a good week. Very good. We will be doing some house sitting this week for my dear friend. It works out well since I am turning off my internet today. *GULP* I’ll be okay… I know I will…

See you tomorrow? I guess we will see!
