Thursday

 Today was good.  The kids had their last day of orchestra camp and they needed to dress up for it.  The theme was water.  We ran to the store and got a umbrella hat for Ruth and a eye patch for Oliver.  They did really well at the performance and it sounded really good.  We had lunch and then the kids cleaned their rooms which is so traumatic for them.  We went to Smithfield afterwards and looked at the thrift store and played at the park.  The river was so cold we didn't get in it.  The kids went over to the neighbors house and I started quilting Austin's quilt and stitched out some designs.  I got my tax number today so I can make a bank account tomorrow for my business.  After dinner we went and mowed Peggy's lawn.  Oliver and Casey came and helped which was really nice.  Their were the cutest kids from Greenville that were riding up and down the street.  It was one of the girls birthday and she was showing me her bike.  Then they brought me the sweetest cards.  Then they brought me flowers and then they gave all of us some of her birthday cake.  It was so sweet of them and they were so cute to give me all that stuff.
