A Blast Day

Date of occurrence:
March 20, 2025.

A while back, Londyn brought home a paper for a field trip to a farm. Mom was under the impression that she had about a week to sign it. Nope, she had only two days.

The result is that the paper didn’t get turned in and Londyn is not allowed to go. Mom felt really bad about it and decides to have a ‘field trip’ of their own.

So, mom keeps Londyn out of school that day. At Londyn’s request, they go to a store of her choice to buy some stuffies she wants.

Then it is on to the pet store where Londyn gets a kick out of observing all the fishies. The park is next where they enjoy playtime and a super duper packed lunch.

They finish off the day by visiting some more stores and then it is time to head back home.

Londyn loved the one on one time and all the things she got to do. She may have missed the field trip, but…

She had an absolute blast day! 

Happy Birthday!!!

Lipstick

Date of occurrence:
March 14, 2025.

Londyn has an idea.

Londyn:”Mama, send Opa a picture of me wearing lipstick!”

Mom happily obliges.

Londyn sure looks pretty, but we tell her…

She looks just as pretty without it! :-)

Picnic

Date of occurrence:
March 14, 2025.

Lily and Londyn are having picnic day at their school. Their mom and her friend join the girls as they eat outside on the grass.

The weather is nice, although it is kinda windy. That doesn’t diminish the fun by any means.

We are glad they enjoy their time together.

And get to pick some flowers too! Grin.

Work, Work, And More Work

Date of occurrence:
March 8, 2025.

Kc has an internship for the entire week. No, no rest for the weary. He spends his entire Mardi Gras vacation working.

His internship is pretty cool. He visits job sites, does some work, and they even see a parade. A specialist in ductwork told Kc he had a job for him in case he couldn’t get one in hvac. Wow.

After his internship, Kc goes to his part time job at a fast food restaurant. All together, he worked around 60 hours this week. Yeah, the boy is definitely not lazy.

He sends me a picture from the restaurant, accompanied by the following:
Kc:”We got Mardi Gras Lemonade. Green lemonade!”
Me:"I bet that looks kinda gross. lol."
Kc:"Looks like the grinch added food coloring."

And back to work he goes. Poor guy.

Like I said before…no rest for the weary!

Musical Duo

Date of occurrence:
February 15, 2025.

Aunt A. has several instruments she is and wants to learn to play. She has a kalimba and a ukulele.

Both Londyn and Lily are fascinated and want to try them out. Lily chooses the kalimba. She manages to get some sort of ‘melody’ out of it.

Londyn likes the ukulele. She may not hold it right, but she gets good sounds out of it by picking the strings. They even play together. It sounds surprisingly well.

We have a musical duo in our family! Yay!

Nice Try

Date of occurrence:
February 15, 2025.

Lily and Londyn are staying with aunt A. Londyn has got something to show her aunt.

Londyn:"Aunt A., I made the bed!”

Aunt A.:”You did!”

Londyn:”well…, I tried.”

She sure did. Nice try! 👏

Nice Camp Out

Date of occurrence:
February 8, 2025.

Bella has another camping trip this weekend. The weather is really nice and the troop takes advantage of it.

They are going for a hike, which quickly turns into a nature walk. They find several tracks belonging to a deer and a raccoon.

Well spotted! Y’all are great scouts!

Happy 18th Birthday!

Date of occurrence:
February 8, 2025.

Kc had to work till 3 am last night. As Opa said:”He leaves as a child and comes back as a man!” Yes, it is Kc’s 18th birthday! He is legal now. lol.

He is exhausted when he comes home and gets sick a little later. He ate something wrong, but feels better after he emptied both his stomach and his guts.

He rests for a few hours and then is ready to blow out the candles on the cookie cake he wanted and even samples it. That’s a good sign, because there are more festivities planned for today.

Happy birthday, little man. Oops, forgive me. The ‘little’ left a while ago.

Happy birthday, man! Grin.

Hello Kitty Party

Date of occurrence:
February 1, 2025.

All the sicknesses have gone. Everyone is healthy and well again and Londyn is finally having her Hello Kitty themed birthday party. 

Londyn has a good time, for which we are grateful. And we are super grateful for Londyn.

She loves all her gifts and the attention, but she shares it.

When it is time to blow out her candles, she calls Sophia to come and help her.

Oh, you sweet, little thing!
