Long and Exciting Week....

The Pirate has had his SAT 10 Testing this week...3 days worth of it! He has been going to bed early and eating a healthy breakfast. He was actually excited about taking this test. I wish I could get him to be THAT WAY about his homework.

We have had baseball. Aunt Staci and Uncle Cris came to watch. He does more "dancing" around than anything. Short attention span...

The Mermaid keeps losing her earrings. I went and bought some safety backs. They seem to be working.

For those of you who know, we have a burrowing owl living in our front yard...we named her Bubo. The owls here live in the ground. We have lots of nests around the city and people keep track of the owls. Our owl has not found a mate. So, no babies this year. The kids were bummed...
HOWEVER, we were out playing in the back yard with the kids swinging on the swings and kicking the ball around and low and behold...there was a bunny. Digging a hole in our yard!!!! Ruining the grass next to the pool cage (it will grow back!) Daddy came in and did some searching on the internet. She is an eastern cottontail and she is nesting!!!!!! So, we will have babies...or kittens, as they call them in 3 weeks or so.

We took some picks of "Miss Hoppity".
