Everyone Loves A Parade!!!!!

Oh what a beautiful site, walking into my dining room and hearing country music coming from outside, I looked out and saw rednecks 3 deep in our yard. There had to have been at least 200 and only 50 teeth between them. They were all waiting for the parade, which happened to go right past my house. We should have charged people for sitting and walking in our yard. I hope they stepped in dog poo. At least we had good seats. Of course, we'll be picking candy out of our yard for a month. I wish I would have had a camera. You know they at grasping at straws when there are tractors and bean pickers in the parade. Oh well, what can you do?

I've been watching the nephews today, they have been really good. The baby is all over the place now and pulling up. It is so funny to see the little short guy stand next to the couch and barely clear the cushions. They took a 2 hour nap and played so nicely. Picked up after themselves and ate whatever I fixed without complaining. Wow. It's quite a change from what I had to deal with this summer.

The princess has been trying to be a helper, too. When I was feeding Dax his babyfood, she kept trying to give him his bottle. It was so sweet. She grinned when she saw them come over today. She's been watching them play and interacting with them. And she didn't get jealous like she usually does, because Dax is so busy exploring that he doesn't want me to hold him all the time and he doesn't cry very much.

As for the pees, I think Otis is a tattle tail. He was just barking his fool head off and I went to see what was up and Milo had broken his collar and Otis was just giving him hell. It was funny. Luckily, Milo isn't a runner, he was just laying there chewing on his collar. I'm glad I had new ones for them.

Oh well, that was my day in a nutshell. I have the boys again tomorrow.
