Friend Play

We went over to a friends house to play and the girls got dressed up in full regalia. The were doused in body glitter. I think Sophie still has some in her hair and this was about 2 weeks ago!

Meanwhile the boys were outside catching frogs in the pond. Of course Ben slipped on a rock and fell right in.


Success!!!

RODENT ALERT!!!
This next picture is from a different day, but it kind of fits the theme. The kids like to bring us all the dead rodents that the cats leave around. Ben does it the most, but notice he is conscientious enough to carry the vole with a leaf for cleanliness sake. Ahhhh boys...

Also of note...the other day the cat brought a live vole into the yard. Ben pinned the vole to the ground with a rock on its tail where they boys proceeded to play with the vole. I of course was oblivious to this inside the house. Jacob came running in crying with blood running down his arm saying over and over that a baby mouse bit him. I cleaned and disinfected his finger and went outside to discover the scene described above. So far Jacob has not mutated into a vole, so I think there are no lasting effects.
