  • One week left.

     So, we have roughly a week left with the oldest child left and all in all I must say other then a few things it's been rather nice visit overall. We are trying to work on certain things as a household here with the oldest and with the youngest but still the oldest has been rather helpful with the youngest as well so it's all worked out for the most part.

     

    The dishwasher was put in this week and I was upstairs finishing my hair and whatnot when it showed up. Thankfully, the oldest jumped to help and by the time I was downstairs again the dishwasher was mostly installed. I must say though- I do love the new dishwasher and it's oddly quiet compared to the last one. Yes, the 'running time' on a cycle is about the same(unless I do a half load) but still it's a little more 'high tech' then the last one we got and it for sure doesn't run as hot as the last one. I can literally unload the dishwasher within 15 minutes of the time the wash is done which well, I couldn't do with the last dishwasher because it just ran that hot overall..

     

    Anyways, the plane tickets haven't been gotten yet but they should be taken care of at some point tonight..Hopefully, the fact that we have a 'credit' on the one name on the ticket they won't cost too much. Logan was suppose to take care of it last night but thanks to him and the oldest being up half the night the night before that never got taken care of..

     

    At any rate, I plan on taking the oldest to see "The Smurfs" on Monday, Tomorrow we have company showing up aka Norm. He's been over three times as of late. He's out here learning all about motorcycles and since he's so close he's been stopping by. Oh and of course, Norm was the one to help unload the car from the truck the other weekend.

     

    At any rate, tonight Logan is making pork chops. Hopefully, his pork chops don't end up too dry because I don't hate pork chops but I have yet to have a moist pork chop..We'll see if he can complete his mission of making a non-dry pork chop. Tomorrow, we're having bratwursts and the oldest is having a burger since she doesn't like brats(we let her try them and she really didn't like them)..Anyways, this is offically the last weekend we have with the oldest so we are trying to make the most of it. Norm is bringing over his media drive filled with movies and whatnot so while us as adults are hanging out we'll put on a movie or two from his media drive and then eventually make dinner somewhere in there..

     

    Well, that's my update for now..Until I update again..Hasta!
