Lazy Saturday- Henry.


Juner's got a cold and a little fever and mama stayed up too late playing video games, so papa and i decided to let them sleep in today. When they both finally rolled out of bed at 10:30, they were in pretty good moods.
Look at how cute she is in her little jammies.
What a stinker. We stayed in and tried to keep cool because it was 95 degrees today. (In April no less.) But we managed to amke it the whole day without turning on our air conditioning. We kept the blinds closed and our little brick condo stayed pretty cool.

I didn't want to take a nap, but mama said if I did we could make pancakes and eat outside. I got my supplies out and decided to paint my pancakes with syrup.

And of course I licked the brush.

Juner hasn't been eating much since she's been sick, but at least she's not barfing like she normally does. She probably doesn't eat much because all of her food tastes like snot.
Aunt Jenni and mama have been debating on whether or not old potatoes would grow mama stuck them in the ground. So she dug them out of the pantry (eek, it's been a long time since we've eaten a potato) and stuck them in the ground tonight. we'll see if anything happens.

We stopped at the farmer's market and picked up tomatoes and peppers. Mama got 4 cherry tomato plants because it's the only veggie that Juner and I always want seconds of.

On the other end is the onion patch.

From the left, we're growing sunflowers, radishes, and peas. On the far right are our two basil plants. And yesterday we planted more seeds for more basil and cilantro. Mama says all she wants now are a few more things for her herb garden, like mint and parsley.

Here's out little backyard, cluttered full of toys.

After supper, we decided to go for a little walk. Juner didn't do much walking, but did find some mud to sit in. You'll notice my boots again. I really like to put on my own shoes, but these are the only ones I can get on myself. It looks like we're headed down a slippery slope to buying a pair of crocs. Does anyone have any better solutions?
Can someone please get this girl a hair barrette?

Aunt Jenni, do you remember this cute yellow number from Evie?

We think Juner is starting to feel a little better today, but that nose just won't let up.
Spring is great down here. We've never seen blooms like they have in North Carolina.


Papa hosted a tickle party.

Juner couldn't wait to get her tickles. We like it when she laughs. She sounds like a wookie from Star Wars.

What a bunch of goofs.

Friday in Greensboro- Juner.

Yesterday we took advantage of the nice weather and headed to Greensboro to the Natural Science Center. We happened to catch Miss Susan on the one afternoon that she isn't working or in class, so we made her come along with us. I showed her my little house.

And she brought me some groceries.
We headed outside to their little zoo and Henry conquered this huge beetle!

The lemurs were out and acting funny.

And even humored Henry a little. But Henry didn't care as much about them as he did about getting to see the two Bengal tigers. When we got there, he had very specific instructions about where we all had to sit and watch the tigers.

Before we left, we had to go down to the basement to check out the two headed turtle.

They say that it shouldn't have lived past being born, but it's ten years old.
