Florida Bites

While in Florida we stopped at Midway Airboats to see alligators. We met Cocoa there. She's a friendly bird who likes boys the best. Or so they thought. She started to climb up Seth's arm and using her beak to climb up. The loving mom I am, I reassured him it was okay. He put Cocoa back up on her cage and she still showed interest in Seth. She reached down and grabbed his shirt to pull him closer. "It's okay Seth, she just wants to climb back onto your shoulder." Ha, or not. She pulled him closer to bite his shoulder. Thankfully, Seth laughed after he initial ouch.

I dough want chili

Adelynn was helping her dad make dinner tonight. She was pretty insistent that she didn't want chili. 

Dad "Adelynn, where did the onion powder go?" 

Adelynn "I dumped it"

Dad "Where?"

Adelynn "In the bath"

Dad "Why did you do that?"

Adelynn "I dough want chili"

Two bowls later, her tummy was full.

In the pig shoot

For the past hour Adelynn has been running up and down the pig shoot. At the point she started it was already too late. Earlier she was running the front loader and it was full of mud. What's the point?

"You need a bath." Off comes her clothes. 

In the Net

Seth decided to play on his school's basketball team. The season started off pretty rough with little court time. At his third tournament I discusses my concerns with his coach. From that point on Seth was out more often which turned into teammates passing him the ball more often. A few of his tournaments included Northfield, Kasson, Cannon Falls, Dodge Center and Medford.

A few times today Seth played the point guard position. It was great seeing him involved in the game. Within the last 10 minutes of the game he caught a rebound and made his first basket of the season. He also claimed possession of the ball from his opponents. A few teammates even patted him on the back to tell him good job.

I'm pretty proud of him!
