Pool party


Yesterday I went out on a mission to find a little pool for Kayden to play in when he comes to Gramma and Grampas' house. I was very excited to find a pool big enough for the big people to get in too, so I brought it home and filled it up. (It is even heated- by carrying buckets of hot water from the kitchen!)
This afternoon, the big man came over with his mommy to check it out. He has cute little plaid trunks, and there are diapers now that don't soak up half the pool water- who knew?? In spite of the temperature being only 80 degrees, which is pretty cool for mid- July around here, they spent a little time in the pool. Kayden slapped the water and laughed, but it wasn't long before he got cold and traded his stylin' trunks for a warm towel, a bottle, and a nap on the porch swing.

Fly Catcher

We don't need to see the Cirque du Soleil at our house. All we have to do to sit back and watch amazing acrobatic feats is to let a fly in the house. The leaps! The double twists and lunges! The gallops across the floor! !
There is the little difference that our performers try to kill each other for the prize. The growling! The hisses and dirty looks! The pounces and take downs!!
For the price of a few cans of Friskies we can have in-home entertainment.
I just wish they wouldn't eat the fly when the show is over. Triple yuck.
