Bits 'n Pieces

Let's see...try to sum up the weekend. Easy. Not long enough =).

I came close to having a heart attack last night. Why? I was driving along a street right by our house. It intersects with a bicycle trail. Traffic has the right of way--no yields or stops or anything. It was about 9 pm and so-- dark. Fortunately, I saw a kid on a bike and slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him. He didn't stop, slow down, or anything to cross the busy road. The car going opposite me hadn't quite reached the spot where the trail crosses yet, but after seeing my slam on my brakes and honk at the kid...they stopped completely and they were going the opposite way. My heart was pounding. Nobody wants to hit someone while driving that's for sure. I thanked God for allowing me to see the kid and stop.
I definitely wondered a) why is a 8-10 year old kid out riding his bike in the dark on the bike trail by HIMSELF??
b) don't parents care what their kids do?
c) doesn't he have the sense to stop and look both ways?????

Other bits n pieces...

Keirah is all into using the potty seat and I would call her completely trained. She is to the point where she doesn't want us to go in there with her b/c "she can do it herself". She must visit it like 20 times a day. YAY!!

We didn't get to go to the pool--too cloudy/a bit rainy.

We did some more work on the porch --er Josh did.

The girls are in their room singing right now with their CD. It couldn't sound any cuter!

Tomorrow starts VBS for Aliyah. She loves going so much. It will make for a busier week, but it's worth it!

Tufsey now has a kitty door installed on the porch. I'm hoping he will figure it out. The other regular door will be installed soon and he will have to or he won't be able to get inside the porch.

We saw the NASTIEST, largest beetle the other night on the porch that came flying in. It was black, huge, and had horns!! It even fought with the cat. It would play dead and then get back in a fight position. Cool to watch--sort of, but yikes I hate bugs that look like they belong in a movie or in make believe. It was like some scary bug from Indiana Jones or something. It even bit Tufsey once!

Other than that, I have many things to do tonight. Wash/vac the car, laundry, dust, bathroom cleaning etc... That's why the weekend could have lasted longer --lol!
