Well, they started replacing the screen on our patio. They'll finish it today. YAY! I'll be bug free out there soon. Can't wait.
I had to go to town yesterday, to pick up something I had ordered, and I decided to get a set of everyday stainless flatware. Since Dd #1 has taught the kids to clear their plates from the table, and scrape the little bit of remaining food into the garbage can, a lot of my silverware is missing. Most of my spoons are gone, so I know it's them cleaning their plates in the garbage, then tossing the spoons in, or the spoons are falling in. They had a decent set on sale for $40.00 with 16 teaspoons, instead of the normal 8. I also got some cheap kid spoons for them. Now, I'm prepared for the little buggers.
I looked into getting the missing pieces for the set I already have. It's going to cost me over $75.00 to replace them. Good grief! Back in the day, I got the whole set, service for 8, and the completer serving pieces for about $50.00 That same set is about $200.00 today. I will get the pieces I need, but I'll get some each payday, until I get it completed. I'll put it up until they get older. They can use the cheaper set I got yesterday until then.
