Adri and Mommy time...

Adri and I went for a short walk tonight and found a large, dead bee. She decided she'd like to bring it home for her Daddy to see so we threw it into her bucket (along with God knows what else she picked up along the way).

I'm not sure why this bee was so incredibly interesting to her, but she couldn't stop checking on it to make sure it hadn't flown away. I repeatedly told her that it was dead and it wasn't going to go anywhere, but Adri has to check things for herself before she will believe them. Each time she came back to check on it she would talk to it and tell it that we were going to help it get home to it's family. We ended up burying it at the end of the night because it was dead and I didn't want one of the kids to end up stepping on it at a later time.

As we got back from our walk, I expected to be able to just sit down and watch Adri play in the yard. She, being the smart cookie that she is, wanted attention. She knew that if she posed for the camera and let Mommy take lots of pictures while she played that I would be close to her and she would get a ton of attention. Mission accomplished.

Here are my favorite photos of the night:

I had to go take photos of the Cardinal babies. The Daddy and Mama both dive bombed me tonight, prompting me to get only a couple of pictures, most of which were blurry. Not sure I'll be visiting tomorrow.

Look at that sweet and innocent face...Tomorrow her hair gets cut and out of her eyes! Hopefully she will be just as sweet after the event...

When you have a me-squito on you

You have to snap them in your hands like this. That's what Papa does.

Then you look to make sure you got it. Ewwwww!

Adri got a harness for her bunny so the bunny can now take her for a walk. It actually works out pretty good because she gets quite the workout.

Adri was told she had to follow the bunny where ever he went...

Adri-isms:
Oh, Oh, Oh! You have a ME-squito on you Mama! AAAHGGG!

Is Scoutie still in heaven or did she wake up?

This bee needs to find his family. Do you know where his family is Mama?

You have to snap the ME-squito’s like this…This is how Papa does it.

The bee’s still not moving, what can we do with him? I want to bury him in the dirt.

It’s ok Mama birdy, we’re leaving. My Mom just wanted to get pictures of your babies! She’s didn’t hurt them!
