Morgan had a really terrible day yesterday. It started by getting sick at about 2:30 am. He really didn't seem sick after that, just an upset tummy. Of course, then I had sheets to wash and carpet to scrub before my guests at 2pm! Later, as I was just picking up here and there, I noticed Thomas, Morgan's frog, was covered with a cloud. It seems his foot was stuck in the rocks and he drowned. The kids buried him in my flower bed and Mallory plans to make him a little memorial garden paver. She got a kit for her birthday and plans to include him on her stone.
My guests were actually coming to decorate cakes and we really had a ball. Eythan's mom and sister were among the cake decorators, so my boys quickly got him changed into boots and led him down the path of no return. Michael soon came home and went out to mow, but returned for a camera. Gay and I cringed at what that might mean, but our cakes were really looking nice without the help of so many boys! Michael returned with some photos, and I'll post one when I get Gay's. They had their inner tube out in the crick and were possibly having more fun than we were!! At least boys clean up quickly. Matthew even mopped the mudroom last night. We all really had a great time. I'm glad Morgan's day could improve slightly.
We had hoped to go to the zoo again today, but with the rain, I think we'll let Matthew enjoy his last tumbling lesson and Morgan and I will go get another frog while he's there. Plan on taking the kids out to Doc Joy's first to get some cat food. I really enjoy seeing him, but I think the kids just go for the pop!! He's always giving them a bottle of pop when they come. Keeps them happy to see him, I guess!!
