The Clubhouse Tent

The boys have a new place to play... on our balcony. They have a tent set up with pillows and blankets inside. They have a rug at the front door. A cooler off to the side and a table with two chairs. They even have their own garbage can. What more could you need? Oh yeah, I forgot, they have their weapons too. They'll need those when they go "wild" cat hunting. You can see one of those so-called wild cats in the picture. Those furry critters try to sneak into the tent and they disrupt the blanket situation - very sneaky! The boys did their homework out there on the balcony today. And they're enjoying their snack out there too. This weather is the real reason most people live out here. It is beautiful out today - especially in the shade. It is still pretty hot in the sun.

Anyu and Apu came over earlier. Apu helped me chop down a big shrub in our front yard. Much better!! Thanks Apu! It was hot out there doing that! I think I will butcher up our tree tomorrow. Darn birds and all their pooping! My car is all pooped on! If I cut off some branches, maybe those birds will have to go find somewhere else to poop!

Since it is Wednesday, I, of course, met my friends at the Wildflower Bread Company. Today I went with the short stack of banana walnut pancakes - it was yummy, but I couldn't even eat half of it. And it was the short stack - I can only imagine how big the tall stack must be!! I wonder if we should buy stock in that place. I am spending money there every week and so are a lot of other people. Hmmm...

In case you didn't know, the Suns beat the Knicks last night!!! Yay!!! Tomorrow they'll be playing the Bulls and we'll be right there getting sore throats cheering them on!!! More yay!!!! My hands even hurt after a game from clapping so much!! How will I cut hair on Friday?

Randy's class had a pizza party today - I'm not sure why - all I know is that it was because they got their jar full of beans -- ??? Keith had show and tell today- he had to take something that started with the letter "Y" or "Z". Guess what he took.... two yo-yos, not one, but two. You try arguing with that little booger.

Yesterday I wrapped some Christmas presents. Today I'm thinking about writing out the Christmas cards - not sure if I feel like doing it though. We shall see...
