A Gentle Reminder

This is obviously a reminder to mom to paint the wall. She spent half the day walking around the house with a can of paint touching things up; meaning don't touch anything.

Squirrel Hunting

( Before reading you should know that there are pictures of dead animals in this post)

Last night we had a cook out in our backyard, hamburgers, cake, and maybe a little to much smoke. After we ate and we were just sitting around the fire Spencer said that he wanted to go kill some squirrels up on our hill. He didn't want to go be himself so he said he would take Samantha with him. He goes in to get the gun and Samantha was getting the orange hats ( safety first). They come out and set off up the hill. Samantha had grabbed some walkie-talkies so they could stay in touch with us back at the fire. All is well. After a while we hear a shot, we try the walkie...nothing. Several minutes later we hear another shot, we again try the walkie....nothing. Shortly after the second shot comes a third, again nothing. It then occurred to me that maybe Samantha had forgotten to set the walkies to the same channel before they left. I began scanning the channels.

"Hello...Hello."

I didn't get anything for awhile but as I repeated my hellos and channel four there they were. "Hello", it was Spencer.

"Hello, did you get anything?"

"Yes"

"What?"

"Two gray squirrels."

"I heard three shots" Nobody answered. So I tried another hello.

" I got two more." Spencer again.

" What?"

"I got two more squirrels." He was up to four.

"But I only heard three shots."

"What?" He was coming through really fuzzy.

"I only heard three shots." I spoke louder.

" I...here...squirr..." It was too fuzzy to make out.

"What? Your really fuzzy I can't hear you."

"....talk...you when...get down...we're coming...wn." I got the point. A few seconds later He said

"I love you" That was a little odd coming from Spencer but ok.

We waited, they had gone up to the pine patch so it wouldn't take long to get down. And we waited and waited and they hadn't come down yet. I thought that maybe they took the long way down so it would take longer, so we continued waiting. Finally they come out of the woods and joined us at the fire.

"Where are the squirrels?" Samantha holds up one of the orange hats.

"There aren't four gray squirrels in there." Both Spencer and Samantha look puzzled.

We got a little red squirrel, we tried to call you but you didn't answer."

"We called you and you weren't on the channel so I switched to channel four and you were there. I was talking to you."

"No you weren't."

Apparently they were still on channel five trying to get a hold of us, I wasn't talking to Spencer at all it was someone else, and they only got one red squirrel. So some strange man loves me and is eating my squirrel. Who would have know.

( This was Spencer first squirrel )

Fall

The leaves are perfect here this weekend. Yesterday we went to holiday valley to ride the chair lift up the ski hill for E-Valle's fall fest, it was a lot of fun. I rode up with Spencer and Ethan, and Mom, Samantha and Bobby rode together on a lift. On the way up under the lift poles there were signs; one said " Will " the second "you" and by the time we got to the top they had written " Will you marry me Gina? ". Gina said yes.

Me and Spencer took votes from the people that past us as we went down as to whether or not we should throw Ethan out. Most people said "yes" but a old lady said "no". We however decided not to throw him out, agreeing that we would miss him. After we rode to the top and back down we went to a soccer party. We never hang around the fall fest very long, there is way to much drinking. I talk to my friend Brian later that night ( he works at holiday valley) and he spent most of the day guarding the gulf carts, said when you mix beer and gulf carts it adds up to people stealing the gulf carts and taking them to town. So we left right after our lift ride.

Our soccer party was fun too. There was so much food, that is one thing good about homeschoolers they all know how to cook. I felt a little fatter afterwards.

What $5 Can Get You

When Bees Get In

On the outside of our house between the launder room and the hill, we have bees. Bumble bees. We tried to kill them a while ago by emptying a can of bee spray into their hole and then placing a bowl over them. It seemed to work until we took off the bowl, they came back. And now they are tunneling, in the hill, in the house. But our can of bee spray is gone and you would need a dome to cover them. Well, they are coming in through the basement or at least one did. We didn't spray it or smash it with our feet but it didn't live long.

Look What I Can Do

I am having way too much fun with this photo skill.
( my mother showed me how to do this, yeah mom)

Pumpkin Butt

There was a question as to whether or not I should post this for being obscene. Butt think of it this way, it is rather creative....right? Anyway, it made us laugh .
