We were babysitting our neighbor's dog for the weekend. This is the nicest dog. One day we took him on a walk and then brought him back home. He didn't want to go home. I felt so bad for it, so I brought it to our house for the afternoon. Nate was in heaven with a dog to play with.
Introducing our pet sugar gliders. Ashlyn is holding "Window" and the other is called "Chip". Nate named them, can you tell? They love to hang out on your head, shoulder, or back. Dave and the kids have put a lot of time into bonding with these creatures. So why is is that I am Window's favorite person to sit on? If I am close by, it usually ends up jumping to my shoulder or head. Not sure how I earned that privilege.
Window is eating some jicama from our salad. They also like to eat flies and bugs.
Nate turned 4 today. It was a happy day 4 years ago on August 10th! When I was little I had a cake with m&ms and lollipops. Nate has been talking about having this kind of cake for months. He also wanted it to be rainbow on the inside, so we did our best. The kids had fun helping and Nate kept saying "This is sooooo fun!"
If you've been around Nate lately, you know that he LOVES to hike up his pants as far as possible. He does this all day long. Not much gets in the way of tucking in his shirt and hiking up the pants. He even wants to be "tucked in" for bedtime. Even if it's a really big bedtime shirt. So Dave wanted to get him some suspenders to help out. He loves them. A week ago he planned that he would wear this shirt for his birthday. I asked him why today. He said because it's red. I guess red is a birthday color? Heidi...do you recognize this shirt?
Thanks Karla for the cape and mask set! Dave took the kids on a run up this mountain and Nate wore the mask the whole time.
