BIRDIE BUFFET...

Belly up to the bird food buffet, little birdies.

A few weekends ago, I discovered we had a cardinal visiting our deck.

I bought a $1 bird feeder and a $3 bag of bird food.

Saturday morning, The Kid and I were snuggling in the recliner when we noticed the birds lined up for food. He called it a "Bird Buffet".

Sunday morning, while watching the news and drinking my coffee, we were once again visited by the cardinal at the bird feeder. He brought along his mate.

It was adorable watching him feed her with his beak.

I tried to get a picture but as soon as I moved, they moved.

So this morning, I caught some of the birds helping themselves to some free grub.



I had to take the picture from way across the living room and through the sliding glass door so it's not a fantastic photo but you get the idea.

How's that for some cheap entertainment?

And yes, those are fingerprints all over the door. Hey, I have a 4 year old and 2 dogs. I couldn't keep the glass clean if I washed it every 5 minutes.

And Daddeee, who squawked when I wanted to buy all this, now wants more feeders. Too funny.

BODY PARTS...

We had a rather bizarre conversation at work today while on break.

It had to do with body parts.

Or actually, missing body parts.

I had to think about it.

We decided baby teeth do not count.

I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 18. So that's 4.

When I was 18 months old, I stuck my right index finger in the spokes of my oldest sister's bicycle and cut it off.

The doctors reattached it - without the knuckle. No one knows why.

That brings my count to 5.

That I can think of.

What's your count?

I know. Something you've probably never thought about before.

INDEPENDENCE DAY ANTICS,,,


We had a blast celebrating the 4th of July even if the rain kept us from doing the fun nighttime fireworks. Daddeee and the kids made their own fun.

Daddeee made a sparkler bomb and blew up a toilet seat we had ready to go to the garbage. ***KIDS: DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME***




And this was the end result.



I hope you had a fun and safe Fourth just like we did.
