An 8 year old considers the current imminent pandemic...


So, today was a pretty eventful one for me. I had my first ever tennis lesson. I am not claiming that I was good or anything, but I DID really have FUN! I was really nervous, but it turned out to be great! I signed up for 6 months of lessons, so we'll see...

This afternoon No-No got new Ankle Foot Orthotics. I am still not sure exactly what I was thinking when I picked out the pattern. Luckily, we are going to be able to just try them out for a couple of weeks to see how they fit, and then we get to order some better looking ones. WHEW!

And this evening was the first ever Daniel Island Farmer's Market. I was so excited to take the boys, and go have crepes for dinner. Of course, by the time we were able to get there everybody was sold out of everything, so we ended up having to go get pizza on our bike ride back home. On our way out Cookie got some ice cream. It was one of those Sponge Bob popsicle thingys, and when he opened the wrapper it fell right on the ground. He freaked out, of course, grabbed it up and asked me what he should do - if he should eat it or not. I decided to apply the 5 second rule, and told him that he should eat it. He started to take a lick, and then froze right in his tracks... he looked up at me said," But what about the pig fever?" Get it? He was worried about the Swine Flu! To see the world through the eyes of a child is a beautiful, hilarious, wonderful thing.

Selling Chicken and the Toothless Wonder

Well, what can I say? I don't have any really good excuse except the fact that the longer I wait to write the more overwhelmed I am by what I haven't written that I just can't bring myself to sit down and do it. Yes, things have been extremely busy around here, but when are they not? That's not a good excuse. I keep thinking about this Stephen King novel that I read about 15 years ago probably where the computer or printer or something would type out your thoughts. All you had to do was think it and it would print it out. There were major implications for this in the book, as I am sure you can imagine, but it sure would come in handy in the shower.:)

What have we been up to? Let's see... Other than swimming lessons for P-baby, two boys in Baseball, and several house guests, we opened the second store!

The most important thing I have to say about the opening is how proud I am of my hubby. He is such a hard worker, and it is so nice to see him get recognized professionally for his efforts. He makes us all so proud. He has put in some really long hours lately, and things are going really well in Goose Creek, as well as in Summerville. Sure there are few bumps, but all in all, things are great. Despite the recession, people (at least those living in GC and S'ville) are still eating lots of chicken!

Another big even that occured about three weeks ago was the loss of Nosey's first baby tooth. He was so tough! He hardly even whimpered when Poppy pulled it. Of course, I was way too squeemish to pull it. I don't do ears or teeth. Check out his new smile. He was on the phone telling his daddy all about it!
