Follow up on the bunnies

The bunnies which are the cutest things in the world have left the nest. The mom kind of built their next in a not so conspicious place next to our gate(Gary edged there 2 weeks ago). Tuesday they ventured from the nest about 5 feet, and yesterday they were gone. On a positive note that they were not eaten by some creature, I did see the mommy bunny in our yard yesterday morning, probably collecting and moving her babies. We were afraid she wouldn't come back after Gary disturbed the nest.

Miss L thinks Heavenly Father sent her the bunnies and has prayed for them 6 or 7 times the last two days that their mommy would come back to them to feed them. Guess prayers are answered.

Anybody know how to get rid of a rabbits' nest?

My new Do

Every spring and fall Kohl's send a $10 Kohl's cash card and for my budget-laden self, it is my gab money for home decor. I am in the middle of deciding what to put on my walls in my bedroom, I am thinking about one of the artsy black and white photo galleries, but I haven't quite decided yet. Usually I buy picture frames, but a friend of my just made over her laundry room, and it looks really good. I have a few more ideas to incorporate the blue, but I think I'll wait for more Kohl's cash.

Just a regular day

Just a regular day after school and piano lessons, I love how the role of women has changed, yes she is still wearing a princess dress, but she is Mulan and she is fighting with a sword. It is interesting how some children are just born leaders. Miss L is definately one of them.

He is just growing up TOO fast. He is in a rather destructive phase right now, just exploring new things he can reach for and new found freedoms, like how to defend himself from his sister. I thought my house was babyproof, but he quickly teaches me things I have begun to be lax on. He also has recently discovered books. He loves to have me read stories to him. He drags them around the house at any given time and throws them at me to read. He is still my little snuggler, I hope that doesn't change.

Pudding Party

They had a a coupon to buy 3 puddings get 3lbs. bananas free, and since we were buying bananas already...

The teacups are the perfect size serving for the sickeningly sweet Butterscotch pudding. Miss L just loved it because it was her size. I think the only improvement would be my mom's crumbly shortbread pecan topping.

Les's 60th Surprise

We surprised Gary's parents for his dad's 60th bday. We were going to dump a cooler of Gatorade on his head but we didn't have a cooler...or Gatorade. Below are some clips:

I love weekends

I am grateful for the weekend. Since Gary was gone the 4 previous weeks, I just relished my time with him this weekend. We took the family swimming Friday, and then Saturday we had a long relaxing date. We went up to the temple for ward temple night. There were only 5 people from our ward in the session, but the temple was packed, I was actually the last person in the session. Then went out to dinner at a posh little Japan Sushi/Latin Grill, very interesting food, great atmosphere, but mostly I loved just being us for 6 hours.

My babysitter didn't have it too bad, considering my kids were asleep when she got there, and were only actually awake, for 2 1/2 before she put them to bed.

It was nice, relaxing and great to have Gary back.
