GET OUTTA HERE

So I think Violet just doesn't like people in the water with her. When she uses her baby pool by herself she's fine. The minute you get another kid in with her, that's it, it's over. This was a very short bath.

DO I HAVE TO?

Jackson and Karen are in town visiting. This is from last night. We asked them to give each other hugs. Instead they just stood there.

MR.TOAD'S WILD RIDE

Mr.Toad lives under our deck. He only comes out at night to sit near the landscape lights and wait for the bugs. During the day you can lift the trap door on the deck, that gets to the faucet, and see him sleeping up against the house. I think he's really hiding from Ivy because he doesn't want to get licked.

OUCH!

Violet has a huge bump on her forehead. She took a header off her folding chair outside last night right into her car. It looks 100% better today than it did last night. Needless to say that ended the outside time for the evening.

There's a new toy store at Crown Center that carries a bit of Hello Kitty. This is My Melody by Sanrio.
