A Friendly Goose

 A few weeks ago we went to a bird sanctuary with our cousins. While walking around, the kids discovered a goose was following them looking for the corn we had bought for the birds.

The goose would actually eat the corn right from their hands if they didn't pull away too fast! Geese are known to bite though, so the kids were a little nervous!!!!

More pictures to come soon of the bird sanctuary....

The Perfect Blue!

The other night I was washing dishes, (I think!), and when I looked out the window, I was so amazed by the night sky that I HAD to take pictures.

It was so pretty! The clouds and gorgeous blue were so cool!

If someone asks me what my favorite color is, I would tell them purple, or I might say the color blue I once saw looking into one of the Great Lakes. But I think this sky's blue was my absolute favorite color. The pictures I took can't even show how beautiful it was!  What a gorgeous world God has created!

Pretend Friends!

Mom likes to tell a story about one day when I was little. She was bringing me inside, but I made her wait with the door open until all my pretend geese friends came in!

Well, something like that happened today! I was doing my science in my room when I heard a banging on the door. And, like it usually is, Minte was wanting to come in. This time he had Ethan with him. Minte is kinda bossy so he pushed Ethan in my room with the words, "GO!" and then he started pretending to motion in some pretend people, again telling them to go! He did this for a few minutes. Then he began closing the door with a goofy, did-you-see-what-I-just-did?, grin on his face. Then I asked him if he was letting in his pretend friends. For some reason this frightened him and he ran to me like he was scared!

I think this is too funny! Between Minte and Ana, we're always laughing!

What do you do with a crying baby?

Take their picture! Stops the tears everytime!

Then they want the camera. That sometimes brings back the tears.

Costumes for the Baby

Poor little Minte was caught and my chemistry goggle thingerabobs that I hate were put on him! He was so cute!

He didn't like them very much. He prefers sunglasses to safety goggles! I'm with him!

The poor kid has had to deal with all these costumes we like to put him in! But isn't he adorable????!!!
