This post is going to be so completely random, but I'm now in the mood to blog, so here it goes :)
My three little monkeys. We took this on Saturday, which was a long day because Carl was working all day, but we had a great day anyway. Mom invited us over to eat supper and then we went for a nice walk down at the river. Speaking of the river.... in May we (the citizens of Arkansas Co.) learned that Reece Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey would be in our county and two surrounding counties making the movie "Mud". There were two big houseboats that were put in at our landing for the taping of this movie :) Did I mention that I love Reece Witherspoon?!? She is probably my absolute favorite actress. Maybe I'll get to meet her :)
About three or four weeks ago we got a new student at our school. His name is David and he is from China. He speaks English pretty well, is very funny, and actually has to act as interpreter for his parents who speak absolutely NO English. Anyway, while warming up David's lunch one day, the above picture is what I found. I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by it. Squid is not something that I am used to seeing when I open up a lunch container....and to be honest, I'd be fine the rest of my like without seeing it again! It smelled awful warming up too....needless to say, I ate light for lunch that day!
I finally remembered to get a picture of the kids with our neighbor, Mr. Carl (the pie man). We just had to go have a pie tonight after supper. He gave me a fried coconut pie on the house....I certainly did not need it, but it would have been rude not to take it, right?! One day, maybe he'll come up with a fat-free pie. Oh, and please excuse the clothing that my kids have on....T's boots, and Makena's non-matching shirt....we were at home in our play clothes when we decided to get a pie :)
Look at the babies! They are growing up so fast and so cute! They are going to new homes this weekend. I am happy about this, but I know the kids aren't going to be. We are keeping one, a boy that Makena named, Elvis.
Happy Monday, Friends :)
