A quick summary of what has been going on since Easter:

• Pumpernickel had one baby, also white.
• The roof was put on the sunroom. Much of the face boards have been installed on the room to make it look a little nicer.
• Cabol’s dad and I fixed an old door.
• Cabol’s dad was attacked by a ram. He reciprocated by throwing it through the air in a demonstration of top secret military sheep fu.
• Andy learned it is hard to rip a 12′ board by yourself.
• Andy learned to refer to himself in the third person.
• Anya has lost both her working cups-with-straws. One at daycare. The other…?
• We bought lots of bright colored paint for Anya’s room. And a fan. A groove may have to be cut in the wall so the fan can spin.

Week five saw a trip to the doctor’s office for Anya and the corresponding Rx. Plus the cocoa butter and sticky bandage the doc told us to put on her sucky thumb…which had become her boo-boo thumb. Silly doctor. A sticky bandage is no match for a toddler.

Non-essential spending:

– $4.43 for lunch ’cause Andy is a goober butt

My parents are here this week, and so that means all sorts of crazy spending on stuff to finish up the kitty room. That stuff was on the moratorium okay list, though, so no violation.

Andy took some photos of Anya in a tree. Maybe he’ll post one some day. She was helping me prune one of our apple trees. Pruning is addictive. Ya start cutting and just don’t want to stop. Next thing you know, you’ve pruned the tree, the shrub next to it, the cat, the kid, and your leg hair.

I also cleaned the duck house. The question of the week: why did the ducks turn one of their nest boxes into a poo box?
