We just had fireworks in the backyard, courtesy of the neighbors. They were fantastic, but Sara slept through the whole thing, poor noodle.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

The status is NOT quo.
The neighbors have a loud mariachi band, and the singer is singing through a very distorted speaker. Guess which one is most irking the people in my house right now.

I awaiting CJ's return from seeing The Guess Who and watching fireworks. Tomorrow he is working the local fireworks event - either directing traffic or guarding the fireworks.
Noodle is still in hiding. I pulled her out earlier and she snuggled for a while but then slunk off under the bed. K-Bug hasn't been able to charm her out since. Hopefully she will be more social in the morning. Miss Kitty doesn't seem to notice/care that there is another cat's scent in the apartment.

Aww, poor Noodle. She's recovering from a spay too, right? Don't worry, she'll come around. She just needs a little time.

Had a lovely evening with friends, even if my children were devilish (which I am sure is my fault). ita, I'm sorry that they made your head worse. It occurs to me that I SUCK at getting them to be quieter.
We used every plate in the house!
I'm really glad I washed the window screens.
Tomorrow will be yoga, then moving the crib and the high chair and the kitchen table into the dining room.
I have Noah's 4th song trapped in my head. Sing it with me (to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat)

Career possibilties for CJ: Police, Firefighter, EMT...
He does seem to be trending that way.

He has wanted to be a fireman since he knew it was a job. That may change as he goes through more ARP training. In the fall he can take an EMT course - same as the training EMTs go through, but since the ARP members are under 18, they can't be officially certified. Still, great training to have.

How do you wash window screens? I tried a few times in DC, because they were FILTHY, but couldn't figure out a way to do it that wouldn't just shred whatever I was trying to clean them with.

Scrub them with a brush.

...this is one of those things where you have to actually be able to take the screens out of the window, eh?
