"that's why we make things out of crap"

we went to a local store recently with the kids. you know spring is in the air and there are sales a plenty on outdoor items. one display we stopped at was for kites, all different kinds. my daughter picked one out that is something i haven't seen before. instead of the usual sticks that are used to hold the kite in place, the kite was inflatable where the sticks would go. that was pretty interesting (they cost about $5 each) so we picked a couple out and took them home. of course we were all excited to see what this new kite situation was all about so we opened it up right away and set the thing up. so my girl is throwing it in the air and catching it, throwing it to she-la and watching her run. i turn away to start setting my boy up with his drink and dad goes potty and all of a sudden... POP!!! my girl had decided it would be neat to jump on the inflated part and smile while saying, "popped it!" Dad, having heard the pop, gives some sound information, "see, that's why we make things out of crap we find around the house." lmao...rotfl...it was just fantastic how quickly the point of paying for stuff we could build better was pointless. the kite is sadly out of commision, but now my girl has a neat wall decoration for the play room!

fairly new

i have two pets, Polka Dot and She-la. Polka is a 14yr old mutt (believed to be pointer/lab mix) that loves to play tug of war and keep away. She-la is a 1yr old California Spangled kitty with a wildcat attitude that loves to hide from the kids. They both have found friends in each other, it's very cute. Where ever Polka is, so is She-la. She-la is a little handful, i guess you can say she loves food too. every time someone is eating she will run up to the food bearer and jump on their shoulders. not seeming to care if the person is sitting or moving across the room or holding a plateful of hot stuff that is just ready to stain the floor. of course Polka is more subtle, she'll patiently wait by your side looking the other way until you just have to give her something out of guilt. what a team these two. precious. more to come.
