Chaos!

You would not believe everything going on around here. Life has turned upside down. We knew company was coming, but Mandy brought Ajulie home. She says we have met her before, but she is rather strange. She calls herself a monster, and it is an apt description. She stands next to Mandy as Mandy fixes our dinner, and then stays close by expecting us to eat. MEOW! Peyton comes out at night and watches her from a great distance. Whenever her toes twitch Peyton stairs at Ajulie and makes sure she isn’t about to pounce on us. She hasn’t pounced yet, but I know she wants to pounce, so we like to keep our distance.

Sam is also doing strange things outside. We always help Mandy paint, but she paints the walls. Sam has taken all of the painting tools outside and he is painting the ground around the pool. We are banished inside until all of the paint is dry, and I don’t know how long that will take. I can’t wait until we can go outside again. Sam can’t even come in the doors because he blocked them with this wet paint. Whenever he wants to come in the house, he has to go clear around and come in the front door!

This afternoon Mandy came into the kitchen and found water dripping from the ceiling! Oh no! She made Ajulie call Sam in from the back yard and he had to come in the front door. They cleaned up the water, but couldn’t figure out where it came from. So, Sam said he would figure it out after he finished painting.

Mandy and Ajulie have been spending a lot of time at the beach. When they come home they smell like sunscreen and sand. They also leave great piles of sand all over the house; it is a great big mess!

Well, I need to finish watching Sam. He’s moving stuff around outside!
