monday mornings

Paul and hazel have some little chicks here today from the neighbors yard…and they are in a cage…but Paul opened the door…and one got out and I had to chase it around the yard to put it back in the cage.

He said “mom, the chick was just trying to be a “nickpacker” cuz it wanted to nick on this wood and pack it down.” So needless to say, he took the wood out of the cage to prevent such things from happening again. i guess chicks don't want to be "nickpackers" and that is why he HAD to escape from his cage.

and big news! our caterpillar is now a beautiful butterfly! Saturday morning it came out of it's cocoon and we let it fly free. we would have pictures for you but Hazel broke our camera. she is such the photographer. i did get video of it but i do not yet have it figured out how to put YOU-TUBE on our blog :D sometime i will learn... when things slow down :D or...stina...could you just come over and help me??? again???

we were back on the sick wagon for only a bit...now we are all better today! head colds, the big D, and fevers...sickness never makes sense here in our family. but we are getting longer spurts of time between sicknesses...which means we are getting adjusted...right?

today, like every monday, we have a test in lang. so i better keep studying. it's not Cramming...like i used to do...it's actually remembering what i have already studied. have a great monday wherever you are in the world! i say that cuz i have recently met old friends on facebook from different places...one being our foreign exchange student in 1990, Defne, from Turkey! i love facebook!
