Penny & Nellie

Look what we found in our backyard while we were doing some much needed yard work…

Meet Penny:

& Nellie:

Trixie almost had a field day with one of them, but thankfully we caught her before she did any damage. She’s been confined to the house and will only be allowed out back on a leash until these two grow up and move on. We also scared Penny into another flowerbed and we’re hoping she stayed on this side of the fence so Mama can call her back when the coast is clear.

We didn’t finish cleaning out our flowerbeds, but I’d say we had two pretty good excuses to quit!

Afternoon on a Hill

By: Edna St. Vincent Millay

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!

*********************************************************************************************

This sounds like a wonderfully peaceful way to spend the rest of this afternoon.

Welcome August!

Finnanigans

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Do you think you would like to be an architect and build houses when you grow up?

Finn: Well, I don’t know how. I only have toy tools.

Me: Well, when you get older you can learn how to build.

Finn: I don’t want to get old.

Me: You don’t?

Finn: No. Six is old.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only like Daddy suns.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: I don’t like dolls.

Me: Why not?

Finn: Dolls are for girls. Audrie has a doll.

ME: Well, what do you like to play with?

Finn: Toys.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jon: We should all become pilots.

Finn: Yeah, and we should all be pirates, too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mom, do you know what my hungry’s comin’ on for? It’s comin’ on for animal crackers!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Premise: Finn and I were discussing colors of things to which he was naming each color correctly. Because I have colorblindness in my family that passes from the mothers to their sons, Jonathan made this statement:

Do you think my genes defeated the colorblindness?

Finn: No, do you know what your jeans defeated? Your jeans defeated ants!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MiMi, we saw the U.S.S Lexington and do you know what was on top of it? Angels that were blue.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Referring to a man with a prosthetic leg…

Mom, look that man has a robot leg!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, why didn’t your friend grow any hair?

Me: Well, some people lose their hair when they’re older and it doesn’t grow back.

Finn: Maybe his hair grew back into his brain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finn: Mom, do you want to see somethin’ credible?

Me: Sure, what’s so incredible?

Finn: My poop.

Boys.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dad, maybe we can watch The Circus Robot again another day, and then we can watch The Karate Boy.

Translation: Maybe we can watch Short Circuit again and then watch The Karate Kid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep Five alive!
