Just a little catching up with the family. I went today and actually had my hair cut - yippee!! It had been 7 most ;) It was great!! Sissy did wonderful with the kids, as always.
Yesterday we had to get ballet tights and the little shop is on a lake so we decided to take a walk around. Which we have not done in many months. The kids had a blast climbing on the climbing tree. I told the kids I need to start bringing my camera where ever we go so I could have gotten a picture of all three of them in the big live oak tree. Nature Girl climbed the highest. Little Mama had a blast jumping off numerous times. Boop made it to the first sitting spot. Then he watched all the people going by with Ipods. "Mommy, he has an Ipod." "Mommy, she has an Ipod and a dog." Etc., etc., etc. Ipods are a big thing in our house. Nature Girl got one from Sissy for her birthday and I am getting one for Mother's Day!
The lake has tons of ducks. Some are mallards as Nature Girl pointed out. But there are others that are nasty ducks (not suppose to feed them). While we were walking around two of the nasty ducks (Muscovy ducks I think) were seriously fighting in the middle of the lake. I double checked because it is spring you know :) Anyway, they were fighting apparently over a female that was swimming near. The fought hard and we watched the whole thing. It was kind of like a cock fight I imagined. Brutal to say the least. Anyway, we sat there for at least 5 minutes watching in amazement. Towards the end of the fight, one duck was completely submerged by the other one. I thought for sure it was over and the weaker one was a goner. About 30 seconds later they both were under the water. 30 seconds after that you see the weaker one pop up about 10 feet away from the victor. He was trying to make a graceful escape. The bully started to chase him. Meanwhile, a third male duck came up to the lone female :) Aahhh so interesting watching male behavior :) The kids thought the whole thing was pretty darn interesting and so did I!!
Little Mama took EG's soft building blocks and made a dog just for her.
Nature Girl is going to get her own blog over the summer. She wants it to display a different puppy picture everyday.
Boop said that his mayonnaise on his hot dog bun looked like Nature Girl dancing with the stars.
Tomorrow is Nature Girl and Little Mama's very last ballet recital. End of an era (until EG that is.)
Just a few happenings going on around our house. Once again getting ready for a busy weekend . . .
