>this is one of bee’s favorite games lately, but today frankie and our next door neighbor wanted to play just like bee. she was a great sport and kept leading the way, game after game after game! the movie isnt so good because I waited way too long to get the camera out….
>frankie loves to sing. mostly she sings made up songs, but she is known to sing a couple of popular tunes.

happy birthday marky!! Now both doggies have hit the century mark and its time to party! Meatballs anyone?? BTW did you notice the cameo the birthday girl in the video below?
>Yah we found the camera! Actually scott did, so he wins the prize!! A foot massage. lucky guy Id say! Here is the fun we had. the girls love to chase each other and play ball. they also love to play wrestle. Sorry I didnt catch that on film but they do get into the rough and tumble here. Frankie loves to watch this video and laughs when she starts “boinking”.
>We picked about 100 tomatoes from our garden this past weekend, and I decided I better make a big batch of sauce or we wouldnt eat all of those tomatoes before they went bad. Actually i should say that bee and frankie did alot of the picking. bee was very careful not to put any of the rotton ones in our bowls, and also very good about policing frankie on this matter. Then we carried all of the tomatoes inside to wash them. bee and frankie wanted to wash them, so I set up two chairs by the sink, with two big bowls so they could rinse the tomatoes then put the clean tomatoe in the colander to drain off a bit. about an hour later they were just finishing up and the tomatoes were reall quite clean, but they were completely soaken wet from head to toe and so was the kitchen. I wished I knew where my camera was. it was so cute. And hey, if anyone finds our camera, you win a prize!!!
>We were sitting in the family room watching dragon tails.. both dogs sleeping on the floor, and then we hear, CRASH, the dog food in the cabinet sounded like it feel down and crashed on the floor. At first I thought, OK Koompa what did you do now… but no. she was on the floor by my feet. Scott ran into the kitchen and found our resident opposum drinking water from the dog’s dish! ewwwwww! it came in through the dog door! I guess I will try to get a picture next time!!!
Now this morning when i got up I went into the kitchen to make some coffee and I found the dog food spilled on the kitchen floor, and poor poor doggies I blamed it on them!! It looks like we have a repeat visitor. help!

I need to start bringing the camera with me because my phone doesnt take very good pictures! We all had fun at swimming yesterday. Frankie was in the water tots class and I had to go in the water with her. Her favorite part was playing “humpty dumpty sat on a wall…” When humpty dumpty has a great fall, we were supposed to have her jump off of the wall and dunk her under water. she loved it! Bee was in Shrimpies. Her class met at the same time as frankie’s. Last summer when she took water tots she wouldnt even go in the water and cried, even when scott was holding her. Yesterday, she just ran into the water with the other kids. The water was about 4 feet deep and she hung on the edge and used the kick board yesterday, with her teacher helping her. I was so proud of her! I wished I could have gotten a picture of her using the kick board but I was in the water with frankie at the same time. We ended a couple of minutes before Bee’s class so I got this one of her at the end of her class. When we got home from swimming we made pizzas with eggplant from our garden!
>go irish, beat the wolverines…..
>We went to the park today on the way to “Krogert”. Bee calls the store krogert because its next to target. anyhow, it makes me laugh. We brought our soccer ball, and played and played! I didnt bring the camera, but I caught a good shot on my cell phone. the resolution isnt so good, but you can see our soccer star! Frankie is providing the color commentary!
>Simon says is Frankie’s new favorite game. Bee taught it to her. She must have played it at school because it never crossed my mind to play it. We play red light green light all of the time, but never simon says. Anyhow its so cute how she plays it. She says “Simon says jump like a frog!” and then she jumps like a frog (and so do the rest of us). then she says, “Ok. Very good everybody! Now simon says, …” Each time she tells everyone very good. Its pretty cute.
Bee is also really loving K-club. She loves to play school when she is at home. I guess she cant get enough of it. she likes to be called “Miss Barbara” (as opposed to ms Bee). She makes frankie sit there while she reads a book to her and then asks frankie questions about the book. And Frankie waves her hand in the air to get called on. You know when I was a kid I was the kind of kid that raised my hand straight up and never waved it back and forth. Maybe that is just the serious side of me, I dunno. So when I see frankie doing waving her hand like that made me laugh. I thought, good on her, i hope she gets called on alot at school, rather than not being noticed!
