Jack needed a picture of himself for a school project and asked if I could find him one. Um, have you seen our Gulf of Boxico in the basement? I took these instead. 
Before-school festivities in the yard one morning...
No, this is not a good example of Sam’s new sophistication.
Grant got to do something Saturday that I haven’t done since the 70’s—go to the Illinois State Fair. He was invited by our new neighbors and had a ball. Except, let me tell you, this kid brings another whole level of, shall we say, “tightness” to the Gill legacy.
I gave him $22 to take with him.
He only ate a corn dog and funnel cake the whole day and only rode a ride after he found tickets lying on the ground. He made sure he came back with most of his money. Ironically, he was eager for a trip to Target to spend it on Lego stuff.
A boy and his best friend. Not really sure, but the owie on the dog might be from another previous tangle with the new cat. If so, it’s an older one; they have gotten over all that now and we have the three pests, I mean pets, snuggling up together just like boyfriend/boyfriend/boyfriend.

Here’s a funny for you….
Sam could hear Caroline’s muffled voice talking to him and was convinced Caroline was stuck inside the a/c unit. He wasn’t really all that concerned; as you can see, it actually amused him quite a bit.
She was really just at the window of her room, which happens to be directly above the a/c.

Another funny….I found Caroline had been playing with the sidewalk chalk on the driveway. Nothing unusual about that, but what she drew was a white chalk outline of where each cat was lying, to document their size at what she thinks/says is at 5 months of age.
It says:
BOB achul (actual) size
BOB (inside the tracing, see his head and paw outline?)
5 months
Here’s the next one.
Brrowse (Bruce)
I don’t think she has any idea what white chalk outlines are normally used to show.
Happy to report the kitties are still alive and kicking.
Oh man! I didn't know you had tetherball! Too cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is hilarious about Grant. I wonder if he was thinking about the Legos all day at the fair.
And... Sam looks like he is a character in a Bret Easton Ellis novel. (in the pic with the shades) haha.
