Brian brought home a fun blow-up pool with a slide. Memorial Day it was sunny & hot so we got the summer started with a fun day of swimming! They played all day in it! Even Zander loved the cold water & never wanted to get out!
Aundrea, Zander, Elena, & Gabe- a little cold but happy!
The sad thing is the next day Gabe & Elena started playing in the pool & the slide popped! Come to find out the pool had pretty bad reviews already.
A couple of days later I went to drain it so we could take it back to the store. When I lifted it up Elena found a mouse! It was dazed so we hurried & put a bucket over it, Gabe handed me the baseball bat & I bopped it on the head! It only took one hit then we threw it over into the field to warn his friends that were thinking about coming into our yard! I thought Gabe & Elena would be traumatized but it didn't even phase them. Elena did keep saying she wanted it as pet though- maybe another time & species! This is coming from a girl who at the age of 3 already understands where her food comes from... "Grandpa Hill bought more cows then he'll kill them so we can eat them!"
That's my girl!
Way to go Melanie!! I can't believe you hit that mouse with a bat! I would never have the guts to do that. That's hilarious that Elena understands where she gets her meat! haha!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast your family is growing! You were living with us when my children were this age! I bet Dad would love the "mouse" story!:)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Mel, you are so brave! I'm pretty sure I'd wait for Erik to deal with it.
