Our cub brought the two cubettes home that he had entertained for a couple of days. I have to confess that I took great joy in seeing the extreme fatigue he showed from this experience. He seemed overjoyed at the prospect of getting back home to the serene setting out in the country that had been compromised the last two days.
We both agreed that it didn't matter how much you love these cubettes that we might not be as energetic and patient as we once were; however, neither of us would take for the visit.
Yesterday, it was so fun to watch all these family members enjoy splashing and playing in the pool. Even the smallest of the small, Riley and Gracie, were participating. Gracie was dog paddling and towing Riley. Riley was in her floatie. What a sight to see. It had even cooled off enough for those of us not in the pool to enjoy sitting on the deck watching the swimmers.
We then adjourned to the house to partake of the scrumptious burgers and hot dogs the Alien had grilled for us. Then on to the birthday cakes. While we realize that Deven's day is next week but Zach's is not until October that didn't stop us. We wanted to share in his day by having his cake early. As each boy blew out his candles on his cake, the rest heartily joined in to sing happy birthday. After all this cake and ice cream we were indeed ready to plop in our chairs.
We had a very large tomato in the kitchen window that I was saving for the burgers. Well, Friday night, the Alien saw it and thought, "boy that would taste good on my sandwich" so he sliced it. A while later I came by and saw a few slices left and sure didn't want them to go to waste so I ate them. It wasn't until noon Sunday that I realized that we had eaten the "designee" for the burgers. Oh well, guys it was very tasty and juicy.
The saga of the squeaky mouse continues but I will leave that story for another blogger!!
