Today started off REALLY roughly! Stanley did some business in the house and it was super gross (not going any further on that topic) then my mom hollared "Jenny, Ally has a squirrel." I look out into the back yard and she was hunkered over something brown and fuzzy. I ran out there and snatched Ally up and dumped her into the house. The bunny hopped away, I thought for good.
I headed back in the house worrying about Stanley and the grossness that came from his rear end. About 30 minutes later I let Ally back out... since I could find the bunny in the back yard. Not 5 minutes later... there she was again carrying that bunny rabbit back across the yard. I went back out and yelled at her again, she took off around the house and I had mom grab her on the front porch and put her in the house. I tired to get the bunny.... but it just kept scurrying back and forth in the flower beds. So when it tried to squeeze itself under the flower bed between the fence I thought I would give it a rest and hopefully it would make it out and go FAR away.
So I went back in the house. Stanley needed to go out... and with the events from earlier he was allowed out as often as he asked. I let him and out and then heard a odd sound. I went out to see what was going on and there Stanley was completely unaware that he was scaring the hiss out of an itty bitty kitty. The cat let me scoop him up so I brought him inside.
So, welcome to the family little tiny kitty. I was most concerned about telling Lee that this little fur person had decided to come live with us.
I think this picture says it all... Eli's best friend is his daddy. Don't get me wrong, he is a momma's boy in every way... but there is just something about the two of them playing. Eli is very lucky to have his daddy... and his daddy is very lucky to have such a wonderful little boy.
Could some one PLEASE tell me when my sweet baby boy turned into a LITTLE BOY? I wasn't ready for that. I looked at these pictures after our afternoon at the park and I saw a little boy. Look at that face... what a handsome boy.
We had a great time... some kite flying, a little soccer, and some playing at the park. It was a great Sunday afternoon. These are the days we should be thankful for.
We went over to Plant City for Donut Day and decided we were going to vote early since they were scaring us with expectations of hour long lines on actual voting day... Honestly, we did not wait to long at all and I'm glad we did it! Eli was Mr. Funnyman while standing in line... all the older ladies around us found him quite amusing.
Eli trick or treated with Edel and the kids... or should I just say Ms. Edel. The kids ran off and did big kid stuff, but he had a great time. It was me that had the hardest time adjusting to not being in "our" neighborhood. This was the first year he didn't trick or treat our circle. One thing I can't figure out... is why the neighbors across the street are such Halloween haters. I mean last year there was just the "No Candy" sign on the door. This time they did a picture sign on the door and then a yard sign incase one sign wasn't enough.
Our annual Pumpkin Patch trip was a blast. Eli was all about the pumpkins. I'm glad we have this tradition... it makes me happy. It has become a serious tradition in our little family and I hope it always stays that way.
Eli is getting SO BIG! He barely fits into his car swing... but still insists on "swanging."
So, welcome to the family little tiny kitty. I was most concerned about telling Lee that this little fur person had decided to come live with us.
