Silly Putty Parakeet

The kids are into school high-gear these days. The holidays are officially behind us, and therefore we are chugging along full steam. I have to be careful that the kids don’t burn out– they need to pause during the day, just to get their eyes off their books and cool off their brains. But the breaks are short and don’t afford a great deal of time to relax. So, the children have devised small diversions. Like wrapping a resin parakeet in a hat and jacket made of Silly Putty. LOL. When I saw that hat, I burst out laughing.

We finally got some nicer office furniture for desks– some of the kids had been relying on old shelving boards for desktops– I picked up a very inexpensive student desk for $20! And an office chair was half off! Slowly but surely, we are moving out the old (some of the furniture I’ve had since I was a teen) and introducing the new. Thank God for my new job that has made this possible. I also need to save up for my new kitchen that we’re renovating this year!
