the hole in the floor

We found a clothes chute.  We have lived here for two weeks and we just found it.  Who knew a hole in the floor of the bathroom could provide so much fun and entertainment?  Well, actually I did because I had one growing up and we had plenty of fun with it, besides its basic usefulness.  My kids still enjoy going to Gpa and Gma's house to eat a banana through the 'peek -a - boo' hole.  The clothes chute there has two doors across from each other, so you can actually look through the clothes chute at someone.  But here, many things have found their way downstairs, right next to the wash machine, through our lovely little hole already.  They even tried to see if their heads would fit, nope, they don't. Whew!

Anika had her band concert tonight.  She had to be there 45 minutes early so we took one of her classmates with us and the two of them sat in the back and talked and laughed.  That was good to hear.  Anika was telling her who was in her extended family and what Christmas was like.  The 5th grade band here is just getting started so Anika had no problem jumping in.  I still need to find her a teacher so she doesn't lose what she knows, but that will come, too.

Maria and I had fun today just hanging out.  We talked with some friends, we danced in the living room, and we watched a movie.  She took another nap right before supper tonight.  She's just so tired!

The neighbor told us to add our recycling to hers so I should be able to empty my bucket this week.  And she said they recycle everything here.  Obviously I'm going to have to do some more research into what company I get to pick up our garbage.  But, we'll be in a different county than we are now, and I know that makes a huge difference, no matter where you live!

Sleep well!
