Granny Production

I got a hair cut! Look how short it is now! (JK, That's a wig)

We're starring in a new production! Coming soon to a blog near you!!!! (AKA this one)

Birdy Rescue!!!!

Ok, so, Glory and I went to the bus circle to pick up Everal and Freedom, expecting a typical pick up. Everal was already out when we got there, but Freedom was still in school. While waiting for him to get out, we noticed a little fledgling on a ledge below the nest that we knew he belonged in. He was struggling to hop back inside, but couldn't get up. Suddenly, he jumped off the ledge to the ground below! He didn't fall, but he couldn't fly yet either. It was actually really adorable cuz he just floated down!!! SO CUTE!!!! I tried to catch him, but he turned and floated away from me. Guess I'm kinda scary sometimes. Anyway, as he landed, Blondie dived towards him in an attempt to catch some dinner. That poor bird would've been goners if it weren't for Everal's quick thinking! She snatched up the leash seconds before it was too late. Blondie was inches away. Gently, I nudged the little guy onto my finger where he stood while we devised a plan to get him out of harms way. At that point, Freedom came storming past! After informing him of recent developments, we had him hold the little bird while Glory climbed on my shoulders. Freedom passed the bird to her, and she held him up to the nest, which he gladly hopped right into!!! Everal held Blondie the whole time in case he were to float down again into Blondie's vision. Here's a picture of us all acting out our parts after we got home. Blondie looks sooo guilty! We don't have any pictures of the bird, which is too bad cuz he was SUPER adorable!!! But none of us had a camera at the time.

Squirrel in a bucket

ok, so I designed this squirrel trap out of a bucket, some duck tape, a cereal box, and bird seed. I put card board over the top with a small hole in the middle, then pored the seed inside. The idea was that the squirrel would be able to squeeze in, but then wouldn't be able to hop back out through the hole. Well, squirrels can jump a lot higher than I accounted for, so the squirrels just hopped in and out all day. Failure. But that didn't stop Freedom! He snuck up on one of the squirrels while he was feasting inside the bucket and stuck his hand over the opening! That squirrel was mad!!! Here's the video after freedom was able to catch him. You can hear him screamin' at us from in there.

Freedom's 9th Birthday Party!!!

Yesterday was Freedom's 9th birthday party! I was surprised that he only invited two kids, one of which was sick and couldn't come. But it was still very fun and exciting! For a long while, I chased the two of them around with the camera, trying to get a good picture of the birthday boy. =) Here's what I was able to catch while he brutally (And painfully) sliced me open with his foam battle ax and shot me with his new machine nerf gun:

 They used the bottom of the tampoline as their base before I descovered them and sent them running.

 Oh, please don't hit me with those!!!

 He then decided that the best way to avoid a picture was to use his battle ax as a mask. whenever I lowered the camera, he would whack me as hard as he could with it and then use it as a mask again as I attempted to take a pic.

A caught this picture as I was sliced viciously in half by his battle ax. You can just see the evil glint in his eyes.

 Finally, Glory drew the boys aside and suggested this bright idea. A disguise!!! Excuse me sir, but have you seen my brother? He's about as tall as you. He actually looks a good deal like you if it weren't for your curly nanny hair, big nose, and funky mustache....

All in all, it was a great party. Even though Freedom suddenly disappeared after a while, and we then had to hold the rest of the party for curly hair mustache man. (It was his birthday too apparently)

Blondie Braids

A storm like last night's might spell a bad hair day for some, but for Blondie, Her hair has never looked better! This morning she had it done by a very talented stylist. Some of you may know her as Glory. Here's some pictures of her magnificent artwork.
