Crazy Two Days

 Here it is almost Wednesday and the kids still haven't been back to school after Thanksgiving break.

Sunday night we found out that Houston was under a "boil water" notice after 2 of the water plants lost power for a few hours.  And even though the official notice said tap water was fine for pets, "pets" did not include farm animals, and they shut off the water at the farm. 

So we had to take boiled water out to Elvis.

 

We didn't get the all-clear on the water until early this morning (Tuesday), so school had already been cancelled.  What wasn't cancelled was all of Kyle's activities. 

 I ran over this afternoon to watch him in a dive meet where he placed 6th.

As soon as his last dive was done, we had to race across town for him to attend a mandatory pig clinic. We made it with 5 minutes left to spare. 

The judge at the clinic said Elvis was the "prettiest" and had the best coloring.  

(Which we've known all along.)

Kyle said Elvis was true to his name, and totally performed on stage.  

Unlike Buddy (Elvis's next-door neighbor) who ran off the stage, tried to jump over the fence and then tried to crawl under the fence.  

And have I mentioned that Elvis is now 100 pounds!
