Well, hello. It's time for another update on "The Heaton Bunch".
Ben is still keeping busy cleaning windows, and not a whole lot has changed. He comes home every day around lunch time, and watches the kids while Shaea goes to school. He has been really supportive of Shaea and her schooling. Tomorrow, Shaea will take her last final of the summer, and be done with school until late August. Just in time for the play to get into full swing. (See Shaea's Dramatic Adventures for more info.) She is about ready to trade the kids for some puppies. Puppies might be easier to keep under control than the boys. (JK)
Kelsey has been pretty good, and been a great helper on most days. He has also been keeping really busy at rehearsals with Mom. Isaiah is tired of helping out around the house, and wants Mom to do everything for him. Sometimes I think his ears are broken, but I then I ask if he wants ice cream, and they work again real quick! Reas is happy to help with whatever he can, as long as it's in the morning after a good nights' rest. Once the afternoon comes around, he starts getting cranky, but he won't take nap. The he gets his second wind and becomes a tornado, leaving Thomas trains and tracks, and CARS scattered everywhere his path crosses.
This past weekend we went to the Ranch for a family reunion. It was really fun to see the family who was there, but it would have been nice to have even more there. We all enjoyed watching the kids do races, thanks to Uncle Jason. We got rained on a little bit, but it felt nice and cooling. A huge relief from the heat back at home. We also had fun with the guessing jars, and the kids were excited that Mom won a jar full of bugs. (Plastic, thank goodness.) Isaiah tried to share his "talent" of sounding like a goose, but he had done it so much during the day that he couldn't when everyone was watching. Oh well.
After we got home, Shaea and the boys went and picked up the new kitten that was waiting for them. After three days, we have finally decided to call her Snickers. She is a long-haired Calico type of cat, with a little white strip down her nose. I will post a photo of her later. So far, she won't hold still for very long, so all of the first attempts at pictures turned out all blurry.
Well, that's it for now. Keep an eye out for the promised pics in the near future.
(I'm the one in the blond wig, and Kelsey has his back to me.)
