Haunted?
I'm beginning to wonder if our house might not be haunted with a playful ghost. The only odd occurrences happen with Kate's toys. She has a "Melissa and Doug" puzzle with wooden animal pieces. When you place the animal in the correct spot the animal will make a noise. The chicken clucks, the puppy barks, etc. Well a few weeks ago the puzzle began making its animal noises each time we shut off the living room light. But it has since progressed. Sometimes the animals sound when you simply walk past the puzzle. And it isn't the same animal each time. Luckily I haven't noticed the animal pieces moved about the house...yet.
Secondly, Kate got a 'cell phone' for Christmas. If you open the phone and then close it again the phone will ring. Kate LOVES it. However, lately the phone has begun to ring on its own. Like today for example. Kate is asleep in her room, I'm typing away on the computer and the cell phone starts ringing...from inside the toy box. No prompting, nothing. Maybe Kate is really getting a call or maybe someone else is playing with the phone. Someone else who I can't see?
I'll keep you posted.
Oh, and a note on the house. Well after a week's hiatus the plaster girls are back. Only a small hole in the wall is yet to fill. All other holes and gaps have been replaced with sheet rock. And almost the entire kitchen has been taped and coated in one layer of mud. Unfortunately the girls must lay three coats of mud before the project will be complete. They are hoping to be done by the end of the week. I pray that they will be done earlier.
So once the sheet rock is done the next step is to bring in a local handyman who will build in a counter so we may connect our dishwasher. YEAH!!!! I have also started working with Castle Interiors on a bathroom design. They are supposed to have an estimate to us sometime this week. I imagine they probably won't start work on the bathroom for at least a couple of months.
Slowly but surely we are moving in the right direction!
OK! No lie. I am sitting here minding my own business and the rooster on Kate's puzzle started crowing. Weird!
