Our Little Cottage

Just Another Thursday Morning...

I'm up early this morning, but I just don't feel like going back to sleep.  Very strange for me!  So I thought, with my found "free time" this morning I would write up an entry.

I am so happy that testing is over for Arlee & Frost.  But, the sad part is, now that testing is over...Danny's vacation almost is as well.  He goes back to work on Sunday.  Only 3 days away!  Very sad.  I have so much enjoyed him being at home with us.  I wish that he could just stay at home always.

On our back patio, right over the gutter there is a robin's nest.  It's empty now, but only since the past couple days.  We were all sad when we came to look out the back door and didn't see 4 little heads sticking out of the nest.  We did end up finding one of the young birds hanging out in our turtle garden.  He couldn't fly really well just yet.  Momma Bird is close always, though.  Keeping an eye on him and bringing him food now and again.

I did see Baby Bird fly yesterday a little bit.  It is so interesting to have got the chance to sort of watch him develop his skills.  He just needed a little more time.  He was the type that just did things when he was ready.  Hmmm...that sounds familiar!

I hoping, that if Danny is feeling better today, we can finish putting our new flowers in the turtle garden.  The ones that have already been planted look so pretty.  I'm hoping to have the turtle garden done before Danny goes back to work, but if not it's no biggie.

With Danny going back to work soon, we will have to jump back into our school lessons.  We haven't done much of anything since he's been off work.  No one wants to do lessons when Daddy's home...not even me!  We all just want to be with him.  I am still very hopefull for a last day of school on May 28th.  It's going to be a challenge, but I am confident that we can do it!

Today Frost will be getting ready to go visit with a friend of his, Steve.  Steve will be having an outing for his birthday on Friday, but wanted Frost to spend the night as well.  On Friday, the boys will be joined by a couple more of Steve's friends and they will all go see the new movie, Iron Man.  I can not even tell you how excited Frosty is about this!  I think they are all going out to eat, too.  What a wonderful time Frosty will have celebrating his friend's birthday!

I think I might try to go do some dishes quietly this morning.  I would be very happy to have those already done before anyone else wakes up!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
