playing today

Today was a good day. Drew and Em came to play. Ubu can not claim to be ignored today. While inside, Ubu has tended to become more withdrawn from the children and hiding in his kennel or up on the top of the loveseat, so little hands don't grab him as easily. Outside today was an entirely different story. Ubu was the center of attention. He had Bubba trying to play ball with him with a variety of balls- three tennis balls and a soccer ball and Drew playing chase and tug-o-war with Ubu's stick. Here are a few pics from the day.

I think this was Drew's favortie pic, because he was running and in a blur. I like it too.

Em ended up going for a nap during most of our outside time. This was her game. . . biting the spoon when you tried to take it out.

Random

When my parentals were in town, we went to a local roadside produce stand and bought corn on the cob. One of the cobs ending up having four cobs in one husk. I had never seen this. Perhaps this is how they get the small cobbetts. Only problem with this corn was. . . all the ones we bought this time tasted NASTY (okay, my ONE cob tasted nasty); perhaps I cooked it too long. Perhaps I am just prejudice toward a certain farm's corn, or I am just losing my taste for corn.

Bubba AND Ubu both have a little of the green eyed monster in them (yes, they are jealous creatures). Lately I have had to resort to holding them both, and Ubu has taked to sitting on my shoulder, so Bubba and I both get to give Ubu hugs.

A lady in my ward was having twins. Well, I had THE PERFECT fabric for A receiving blanket (it really reminded me of the mom), so I wanted to get another piece, so I could do the matchy-almost-matchy blankets or the "twinner" blankets. Turns out that they did not have the one fabric that I wanted, so I went for the hearts. I also went for the green, since it matched the green hearts so well and was not typically girly. The twins are girls, but these should work. Oh, if you can not tell, there are two blankets in the photo, and I am sort of sad, because one ended up being bigger than the other.

not what I was going to post

I decided to just put up a few pics. I went to post another picture, but decided to crop it first. I cropped it, but then the pic disappeared from my folder, so at this time, you don't get to see THAT picture. You will just have to settle for these. These were from the Tulip festival back in April of this year. Okay, actually the narcisus is from my friend's yard, but the rest were up at the festival. I think the tree with Dave below, might be dying. Then again, it might just be brown. Yes, Dave is taking a picture of me taking a picture and NO, I don't feel like finding the coresponding photo of me taking a picture.

nothing new here, just some pics
