Day Three with Munchkins

It was a beautiful day today, Friday, and we had a fun time at the zoo. I'm pooped out tonight and will process the pix tomorrow -- just got Munchkins to bed -- I can still hear them play. Their dad has gone to visit old friends and grandpa and nana are headed to bed soon!!!! Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Munchkins were eager to help with any work that might need doing, including changing the water in the pond. Here they are, Sweet Pea controling the plugging and unplugging of the power and Pumpkin ready to handle the sucking of the pond water.

Here is there task -- first suck out all of the dirty water.
Pumpkin makes an editorial comment about the smell of pond scum

Sweet Pea has been enjoying the same Lite Brite that was a favorite of her aunt's 30 years ago. I was surprised that the light bulb still worked.

Later in the day Sweet Pea and I went off to do some girl shopping. Of course we stopped at the thrift shop first. I found a jelly roll pan, and she picked out a bag of spiders for herself and a bag of snakes for her brother. As we were rounding a corner she spied a horse and told me she would like to go back to look at the horse.

Oh my, she had seen this larger-than-her stuffed horse. At first she just asked to hold it to see how soft it was and when I asked her if she wanted to take it home her brown eyes got so big I thought they would pop out of her head. She was willing to put back her bag of spiders if she could have the horse, but of course I said she could have them both.

She named him Cosmo. She has thanked me once for every dollar he cost -- 15 times. She and Cosmo are tucked into bed together as I write this.

This evening after Sweet Pea had a bubble bath and Pumpkin took a shower they topped off their tanks with corn dogs and some more of their blueberry pie that they made yesterday from the berries they picked with dad and grandpa.
