We Are Nicer Than the 3 Little Pigs

What did the 3 Little Pigs do to the Big Bad Wolf when he came down the chimney?

Well, that was what Jed suggested last night when I told him another bird flew down the stove pipe.

All day yesterday the poor little bird was chirping, scratching and pecking inside the stove pipe. It couldn't get past the blower down to the main stove opening. Luckily today it made its way down (before Jed got home) and Emmy and I used a fishing net to catch it.

Here is our "lucky" fellow. Hopefully it has learned that our stove pipe is NOT a good place to investigate.

Some of you may think that its just a dirty trash bird.... but I much rather it be free than be a baked bird in my stove.

The Other Morning

The other morning Jed had to work early so I took Erin to school.

Half way there I looked back and Erin was asleep.

Emmy was happy as can be eating her "faffle."

Poor Erin, its hard being an early bird!

Quote I Like

Here is another quote I liked from Book 19: Penelope and Her Guest / ODYSSEY by Homer.

Safety Fair

Here are some pictures from the Safety Fair last Friday. The girls had fun.... until the end. Emmy got hit in the face by a teeter totter, Erin got hit in the back and walking on my bum knee wasn't good.  Maybe the Safety Fair was not so safe.
***PS, I messed up on the picture titles. Sorry I meant snowmobile, not motorcycle.

The RV Show

I heard Erin took a lot of pictures at the RV show... so I had a few minutes and put her camera card in and WOW, there were a lot of pictures! I felt like I was there and I got to see a lot of trailers.

Here are the pictures I thought were cute of the kids.

I guess the RV show takes a lot out of you!
