I think there are a lot of people around town who have taken the rest of the week off. There's definitely a weekend feel around town. No such luck for poor Cory! Thursdays are the day he sits in with the psychiatrist at the prison to meet with inmates about their meds. He called this morning because they were already behind schedule and he won't be able to get back in time for our chiropractor appointment. I'll just have to reschedule it. It just doesn't work for me to get adjusted without another adult along to be with the kids. Well, it's really just Ella that wouldn't do well with that.

So this morning we headed off to the library for storytime even though I wasn't sure it was even on this week. It was, and Accalia and Cole were the only kids there. Two others came a little later on, but otherwise the regulars weren't around. I think it's a big vacation week because this is the week where there are no summer rec programs going on, so many are probably taking advantage of that, too. After the library, we ran to Wal-Mart since Accalia wanted to pick out a postcard to send to Mercedes after she moves.

Ella's napping, Accalia's doing a craft kit that Heather gave her for her birthday, and Cole is experimenting with toilet paper and water. Accalia and Cole were both doing that earlier. The kids really wanted to get Charmin toilet paper to see if it's as soft as the commercials say, and since we needed tp anyway, it worked out well. Accalia took two pieces of paper, drew hands on each, put toilet paper over the top, and sprayed each sheet four times. And what do you know? The Charmin seems to be more absorbant than the other toilet paper we have.

I forgot to write earlier about what Accalia did on Tuesday. That afternoon she decided she was going to clean, so she washed the dirty dishes and cleaned both toilets! That was great! Yesterday, when we were just sitting around, I turned on H>V and Accalia and I sat there for a bit watching shows. That's the first time she's ever had an interest in watching one of those shows with me. Cole even got into it.

I need to get up and do a few things now while I have the chance.
