I got a little break this morning. The sitter came to watch the kids. At 9 am this morning it seemed like it should be 5 in the evening. E & J were bickering non-stop all morning. Most of the time they are the best of friends and sometimes the worst of enemies. Once the sitter gets here I am sure everyone will be happy. Well, maybe not baby T (a.k.a Momma's boy) at first. He does have such a good time with her but has a very hard time saying bye to me.
The picture of the day. E, on the left, is becoming an avid reader. He finished a new Junie B. Jones book in 2 days. The husband reads a lot. A magazine is more my speed. I know that I can actually start and finish within a short period of time, that includes the interruptions. J, in the middle, was made to pose for this picture. He does like to read but I think he gets frustrated when he doesn't know a word, will not sound it out and will not come ask. Baby T was crying this morning to get up on the sofa to be just like his brothers (notice he has a book also). He wants to be able to do what his brothers do which is not good all the time. So I had to snap this picture. This picture was taken in our sun room. We spend a lot of time in this room. The boys have a table set up in the corner where they do all their coloring and crafts.
The (scary) plumbers have arrived. I have to say they have as much personality as my pinky. We have had a leak under our kitchen sink since the end of May. When I had a plumber come out to diagnose our problem he stated that our faucet needed to be replaced. The Moen we had tends to get a small leaks in the meat of the faucet, something not worth fixing. That visit only cost me a little over $100 as he did a few toilet repairs. Let me do the math for you, that would be $50 to get to the door and $50 for the first half hour. What a racket. The husband and I did our research and picked out a faucet at Home Depot. We came home and ordered it on-line and saved a lot of money, plus got free shipping. I now have finally gotten around to having a new plumber ($80 for the first half hour and $30 for each additional 15 minutes plus a $5 gas charge) to come install. No more checking and changing the towel. At least we hope that this is the problem and the leak will be no more.

Moen...buy it for looks...buy it for life. When we got ready to move from Grafham, we also had a leak under our kitchen sink (that we were unaware of.) We had a Moen faucet and the jingle kept coming to my head. Before spending $200 for a new faucet for the new owenrs, I called Moen. They sent a replacement seal free of charge and voila, it was fixed. Advertising does pay sometimes! Miss you, girl, but enjoy so much keeping up in "your own space"! Amy
