Sunday

Aggie in her happy place- the only thing missing is her bed. No we aren't punishing her... the vet suggested we use hypoallergenic detergent to try to help her itching so we washed EVERYTHING in the house today that touches her..... thus the bed-free photo.

I am sure Aggie will be pouting in the next days as Kevin is leaving for a work trip for the week. Frankly, none of us are pleased with it. Again, something about being on an island that makes it so much more traumatic when someone leaves. A lot of my displeasure with Kevin's leaving has to do with pure jealousy- I am really looking to get off the island! We are going to miss him but we'll survive.

The good news is that while Kevin is stateside he will get to spend the time with his parents- so that worked out well. I know he is really excited to see them. The girls and I are sad to be missing out on that.

Maddy spent the afternoon (after the morning at church with the rest of us and some fun time playing on the playground with Ellie and the neighborhood boys) doing homework and her chore of cleaning the bathrooms.

The photo of Maddy doesn't capture the crankiness that she maintained- her math homework dragged on and on. Not because there was that much of it- more so because she was pushing procrastination to its fullest.

Ellie spent her afternoon crafting along with her weekly chore.
She made a dragon out of clay and painted it. She was rather proud of her efforts. Ellie loves creating.
Both girls were sad at bedtime to know Kevin will be gone tomorrow. Its been a while since he has gone anywhere- so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky he has been on island so much..... busy working till 7pm most nights but at least he has always been on island!
