Alphabet Burp

"Um, probably not all in one... but yeah I think I can still burp the alphabet."

We both laugh at fond memories of old.

Raven's sister Iodi (we'll call her that since it is a nickname of hers) was in from Saskatchewan last night and came swimming with us. She brought her son L and I had taken Eyes with me. She is also six and half months pregnant and as usual I put my foot in my mouth saying she looked like she was around eight months. Of course she's skinny and it looks like a snake swallowing a bowling ball so I hope she'll forgive me. Still it was loads of fun playing with her and her son at the pool. I would have liked to have gone out afterwards with them and Star but Eyes was sucking madly at Raven's arm so I decided it would be prudent to feed her and take her home. This way I could have an attempt at getting to bed before 1am. Which I did 12:30am was my actual bedtime.

Oh and the burping the alphabet came from the kids asking if it was possible to burp the alphabet. So of course I had to say yes and they asked who it was so I told them about Iodi. She is another one who does SCA and goes to Quad War and I believe that is where she learned how to burp very unladylike many many years ago. Luckily my kids do not seem to be willing to try to copy this behavior... yet. Oh and on Friday Bear will be going swimming with K and hopefully will get his hair dyed green then. Heehee.

As for the experiment of him walking home from school we are going to try and do that next Monday. I want to make sure the cut on his forehead is healed before we attempt it again. Tonight we get to take the plastic bandage off. I have a feeling there will be crying involved. At least we don't have to worry about school tomorrow. I just have to worry about blood on the pillowcase.
