An unlikely friendship is developing in our backyard. Sitting on top of the large branch that shoots off to the left is Mr.(?) Squirrel. I went to let Emily in this morning and saw her trying to climb the pecan tree. As I watched, Mr. Squirrel repeatedly ran circles around the tree juuuuust above the highest point Emily could jump. Then he would sit where he is in the picture and chatter at her. He would dodge one way direction, then the other, as she would dance back and forth. Finally, they both sat down in one spot and stared at each other. I think Mr. Squirrel was having fun. He could have easily hopped on the fence and off to some other tree where he could hang out without a little dog irritating him. I guess we all have to make our own fun from time to time. Little Miss informed me that they have these meetings everyday.
Dad, home from San Antonio for good, made chili last night. REAL chili. Good chili. They've apparently forgotten that if you feed us once, we'll keep coming around looking for more. And since they had Lolly for the day (Trey was at some conference for AdvoCare supplements--I'm sure I'll have more info on those soon), the cousins had to be together. They seem to play better together at our house for some reason, but they did have (loud) fun. It's so sweet now that they're a little older and can really play together. Mom made (yes, she cooked!) pasta e fagioli soup--even the girls scarfed it down. Loverboy set up their Wii and made miis for Molly and Papa. This is going to be fu-un!
And on an organizational note, I (apparently) have a new collection going...
I'd like to take them to my classroom, but can too clearly forsee them in multiple little pieces. But where to put them in my house?
