Shut your Trap

07031008trapcar
I am not supposed to be blogging about why this car was here the other day.

07031006trap
Or why this (former) groundhog hole is booby-trapped and loaded with oatmeal cream pies.

We were expecting five black and white, furry, cute, extremely smelly and terrifying little invaders.

But all we got was one of these, so I guess it wasn't worth mentioning anyway.

Toby F.P.

07041009farterpants
He's Bert's best doll friend. Bert named him, himself.
07041010farterpants
His name is Toby F.P.
07041011farterpants
He used to be a girl, but Bert doesn't know that.
Apart from that, the two are alike in almost every way.
Can you guess what Toby F.P. stands for?
I don't know if I should tell you. It is not very polite, but neither is Bert, and I know some of you have heard stories (they are all true).

(F.P. stands for Farter Pants.)

All Sorts of Sports

The kids organized a sports day with their friends on Saturday.

07101051soccerfield
A soccer field was built, teams were organized, and everyone showed up ready to play.

The kids designed their own team logos, and painted shirts and hats. I don't know all the games they played, but I do know that soccer and cornhole were part of the day's events, and more sports were played across the street.

Stats were kept carefully and filming was important.

Apart from the fact that they could have used a referee to defuse arguments on play calls and rules, they had a great time.

Even when they weren't playing sports.

Comments??

I know some of you have left comments on the last posts, and they are not showing up. I am sorry. I don't know why they are disappearing like that. Anyway, rest assured, I love the comments and get them via email, so even if they don't show on the blog, I get them in my inbox.

Before N After

I am sorry this post is not too exciting or anything. I just thought you might like to see how things are changing in the garden over time, around here.

It is not that there isn't anything exciting going on around here, it's just that the exciting things aren't that picturesque.

They also don't smell good.

And we are terrified of them, frankly.

And the exciting things are getting very expensive.
More later.

The 18th of June was a good day.

Baby Goodness

I know, it was awfully bad of me to tease you with that bit of baby goodness yesterday. So, here are some more pics of the littlest darling. I hope you can get to know her a little from her photos.

Annie has been growing like a weed and learning all sorts of awesome things.
