Day 106 April 16

I bought Terry some new flowers today.  Just because.

Day 105 April 15

This day's photo actually has a real story to go with it.  About 1am Terry woke up and said he was hearing "that noise".  I told him he was crazy that I didn't hear anything.  "That noise" is a noise that sounds like a small child screaming or an animal in mortal agony.  We've heard it once or twice before but only for a few moments and usually far away.  Tonight it was close.  I finally heard it to and Terry realized it was coming from the front yard.  We watched the yard by the light of the streetlight just hoping to see our mysterious noise maker when...there it was...a dog?  Nope.  More correctly it looked to be a coyote.  We watched off and on for almost an hour as it kept darting in and out of the bushes and screaming it's painful sounding scream.  We realized it must have a mate in the bushes.
We went back to bed but I decided that Jina probably shouldn't walk to the bus stop just in case.  When we got up at 6am I looked outside and low and behold what is sound asleep in my driveway?  Yep the noisy critter.  That started up his racket again.  And because of him, Jina was late for school because I wasn't going outside until he was gone.  After it became daylight, we realized it wasn't a coyote either.

Day 104 April 14

I guess that snake in the front yard was to much for Salem and she exploded.  This is all that remains of her.

Day 103 April 13

What is it about cats and boxes?  As soon as a box enters this house no matter how big or small, someone has to check it out.

Day 102 April 12

For awhile there Mason was absolutely petrified of the tub.  He refused to sit down in the bath and would just stand there.  Now he's like a, well, duck.  That's what he calls himself while he's in the tub....quack.  Here's the two little bubble boys.

Day 101 April 11

And so it begins.  The long process of packing.  I decided since we have so much time that I'm going to start with the stuff I know I won't be needing anytime soon.  The books.  I think I'm going to have 10 boxes or more of books.  Crazy.

Day 100 April 10

Wow, Day 100.  I didn't honestly think I would last this long and I almost didn't but I caught it back up.  If you've hung with me this far, congrats!  Now you only have 265 more to go.
For this day the entire family went to the zoo.  We had a really good time and got in a lot of exercise.  It was a fun way to spend the day with mom, dad, Glen and Shannon and my crew.  But for today's pic I won't bore you with another zoo critter.  I'm going to show you how the simple things can be so much fun for a child.
