Daddy worked in Hawaii for a few weeks and brought back a few fresh pineapples.
While we gobbled away, slurping the dribble off our chins, we filled him in on all that had occurred while he was away this trip.
Friends went to Brazil and brought us back and new hammock as a thanks for taking care of their pets.
A neighbourhood cat has been stalking me.
It's quite disconcerting to be stared at while washing the dishes.
(I know the solution is to just stop doing dishes!)
Emerson became stuck in a bucket.
It took two people to get him out.
He got stuck a few more times before we confiscated the bucket.
Miles spent days and days in one spot finishing up his extra courses that he took this semester. Fortunately he enjoyed them. We often would peek in and seeing him grinning away and when we glanced at the screen, none of us saw anything amusing or pleasant...

To each his own.
Sarah claimed there wasn't enough space in her room for all her shoes. Rather than pare down her shoe collection, she opted for opening up a wall and creating new shelves.
On a particularly quiet afternoon, I thought Emerson was napping and assumed Whittaker was playing legos with Duncan.
I was wrong.
Duncan was voraciously reading Harry Potter and the little boys... well, they were stripped down in the sandbox.
Having the time of their lives.
Until it began to rain. Then they were dancing on the deck trying to rinse off the sand.
Emerson discovered that other people have water bottles identical to his.
He was relieved when we returned home and his was still on his hook.
We spent an ENTIRE saturday doing Scouts. Miles performed his Native American Hoop Dancing. Duncan earned two merit badges. The boys and I played every carnival game known to man, and participated in the dance demonstration, and climbed rock walls, and played on bounce houses, and sawed a tree in half, and generally had a good time.
Unfortunately, as we told Daddy all about our activities...
His red eye flight and jet lag caught up to him.
