REALLY?!?!?

Okay...last I checked...I LIVE IN THE CITY!!!!!!!!!!! You know...the city...a place where wild animals DO NOT live...they live in places like NORCO or YUCCA VALLEY...NOT orange county!!!!!! You know, first it was a possum NOW this.....

So my hubby comes running through the house saying, "Where's the camera, where's the camera...quick...I need the camera"...he then dashes outside. I, on the other hand, was on a long distance call with a new friend and figured he was going to take pictures of the kids doing something cute. NOPE....about a minute after he ran outside I smelt a very AWFUL SMELL and all the kids are running in the house holding their noses. A SKUNK...my husband managed to scare a skunk enough that it turned around & sprayed at him...why in the world was there a skunk in my backyard...doesn't he know he's suppose to live in the country.

Needless to say the camera did not cooperate so I don't have a picture for you but I will say that my whole house STINKS!!!!!!!!!

(And I'm certain my new friend thinks I'm simply nuts cause I was freaking out about a silly skunk)

Baby Talk

We've had some fun talk about babies around here lately!

Tr: "Mommy when I'm all grown up, I don't want any babies in my tummy...I want to adopt all of them!"

Baby C: "When I'm married and I'm a mommy, can I have a baby in my tummy? Oh, and I'm gonna have a necklace and a bracelet."

Boy, baby talk starts young, doesn't it...they have it all planned out ;)
