• Rated PG-13. Love Birds.

  My youngest three were pretty excited that they had captured a bird taking off from the branch.
  “Mom! The bird landed on another bird and then was trying to get off for a minute and then flew off.”

  

  I spared you the actual “trying to get off” photos they took.  
  Hmmm…that last sentence can be taken a couple different ways.
  Okay, lest the wording of this post becomes too X-rated, we’ll move on.

  Pretty much the entire northern half of our state is under water.

  

  Chicago has a sink whole. Three cars fell into it! {Photo Here}
  Brookfield Zoo closed for the third time in it’s history. It opened in 1934. {Zoo Info}
  My favorite hot dogs in the whole world are under water. {Gene & Judes}

  Thankfully we didn’t have any major problems in our house…
  except a storm window left open in the bathroom that leaked down the wall.
  We’ll just blame the kids for that one. *cough, cough*

  The kids spent much of the day playing outside in mist and puddles.
  Sophia and two of the little boys next door collected a whole pile of worms.
  They named them…Fluffy and Shorty were two of their names. They showed me how cute they were.
  (I don’t like worms..unless they are in my garden.  

  

  

  Basketball continued as it always does.
  Rarely is there a day where the ball isn’t dribbled and shot.

  

  

  Happy Thursday to you.
