Thursday at the homestead

Yay! My car oil drain plug was fixed today and I was able to get the oil stain off the driveway with kitty litter. Good as new! Hip hip hooray!

Now a little bit about Rachel. She hasn't learned how to get herself to the sitting position from a laying down position yet. Instead she finds something to hold onto, gets herself to her knees, and then gets herself to standing, and then she gets tired and manages to sit while holding onto something for support (usually a rung of a chair or stool.) The poor thing got so worn out this morning that she konked out in the process. The whole process from laying down, to standing, to sitting, to cranking her head over her shoulder to watch her siblings play behind her took probably about 45 minutes. Of course I couldn't pass up on the picture moment of the prized nap at the end.

I did actually put her in the crib after I took the picture.

Again later this afternoon, under the kitchen table.

Now, this narcoleptic eating is getting to be a little bit of a problem.

(If you're wondering why she is always naked in her high chair, I believe nudity is nature's bib.)

I've been wearing pants this week because of our 67 degree weather. At the end of the day the skin on my legs was stinging so I pulled up my right pant leg to discover this. I was very confused because I didn't recall any cat crawling up my jeans. Then I realized I was suffering the consequences of buying cheap razors all to save $2. Bad. Very bad!
