I started washing my windows today. I broke one. Not the glass itself, the mechanism that allows me to fold the window inward to clean the outside of the glass. That abruptly stopped that activity.

I puttered, cleaned out a closet, rearranged and organized the space.

Ethan seems in good spirits. He even helped me carry some things to rearrange and make room to organize things in our basement. It has become a fire hazard with all the kids things in “storage”.

Paul was busy with the trench digger he rented. He was having a grand time digging, putting pipe in the ground and getting out the tractor to fill in the dirt. 

He was absolutely filthy when he came in the house. Like Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon. He stripped and showered immediately.

Ethan had us watching a show with ghost hunters exploring a haunted asylum in Pennsylvania. The people were very animated. By the end I was overwhelmed by the amount of words they said, volume of their voices and I needed to retreat to silence. Certain things trigger this visceral reaction. This show was one of them.

I enjoyed the show, it was just A LOT. 

I went upstairs to my bedroom. Paul had instructions to lock Moe up before bed. Within 3 minutes, Moe had tip toed by Paul, pushed the gate aside and was in my bed. He promptly curled up on Paul’s side of the bed…..What a goofball. He even gave me his puppy dog eyes to show how cute he is.

I then told him he had to go down stairs and go to bed. I hurt his feels pretty badly.

So he is now sleeping in our bed. He is lucky he is cute.
