ol' kat burglary

This morning I let the dogs (Franklin and Lucy) out to "do business", just as I do every morning. Was it the sun finally shining after several days of rain, the cool air just right for not needing a jacket, or this pesky Ol' Kat perched a top my fence that told me it was not going to be a normal day? This kat was perched on the top of the fence near our little shed. This kat was minding his own business, unaware that we had two of the nosiest dogs in the neighborhood...who were about to be all up in his business.

Midway through brushing my teeth, I hear howling and barking that is seriously too LOUD for this early in the morning. I walk out on the deck to check on things...and I hear dogs but don't SEE dogs. Where O' where have the dogs gone. I call them and and get nothing, so I continue to call them...

out of this hole under the shed pokes this little head. Well, her head may be small...but it is attached to a bit larger body. I was not sure if she was going to make it back out of the hole...

She tried for several minutes and finally after wiggling and writhing her body she was able to get her front paws out so, she could push against the shed for leverage. I have never seen her work so much for something. She might have thought she was going to miss breakfast! (You are probably asking...why did I not help? Well, I am a firm believer... you got yourself in, so GET yourself OUT!!) I would have helped if she had needed it...I am not that awful, I promise.

Now, you might be wondering how did I get such great pictures. Well, as I am standing on my deck (like any typical Alabamian) I am yelling "Git Owt, Git Owt" (pronounced as it is spelled)...don't you want to be my neighbor?

The (dare)Devil and the Preacher...

"Rocking" Elephant made by Paw Paw

Maggie riding "rocking" elephant with her feet on the handles...ABSOLUTELY NO Fear!

Reading My Little Prayers with James. He loves this book and we read all 94 pages multiple times a day...Raised in the word, I am not complaining! Preacher man...because when it is not going right, it is time to "Re-d Peez"!


Peek A Boo!!!

Where's James?

There he is!

Where's Maggie?

There she is!

1, 2, 3, 17...Hey wait a minute

I am amazed that Maggie and James are 17 months old...they are growing into big kids right before my eyes! They are so much fun...play so well together, and then there are those times that they don't. We read A LOT, play with the alphabet train, our rocking elephants, our vacuums and lawnmower and of course our scoot cars. They turn the living room in to a disaster area each day and mama & dada clean it up each night.

This is the only picture where they are both looking forward...after this it all went down hill!

In our house...anything can become a phone (even the remote control)
