Cow Chase!

Yesterday Rosie's dog got out of the house without his leash. This always creates major drama for us! He is almost impossible to catch and of course she gets upset.

Well he decided it would be fun to run across the road and go into the cow pasture. This 12 pound dog then proceeded to chase the cows! It was apparently great fun for him...he chased them to one side of the pasture then the other...until they turned the tables on him! A bull was leading the chase, all while butting at him...Rosie was screaming, I was laughing and wishing I had a video camera. Needless to say he ran out of the fence and came right back to the porch. Maybe he learned his lesson!

A Prayer & A Lizard

Rosie & Lucy had drama practice on Wednesday. While there a little girl found a lizard. Rosie wanted one SO bad! I promised to help her look for one when we got home, but I never thought we would really find one.

A few minutes after getting home Rosie was screaming at me that she found her lizard, and that she had just prayed and asked God for it and then then there it was! She was thrilled beyond belief :)

No more than ten minutes later she had found another one! We put them in her butterfly habitat with some leaves, sticks, and dead bugs. Rosie
carried them around with her everywhere she went ~ including to Missionettes :)

We looked up what kind of lizard they were and found that they were green anoles. Apparently they turn brown when they are stressed, which is why we now have brown anoles! I convinced her to keep them for a day and then we let them go yesterday afternoon. It worked out quite nicely though since we are studying reptiles and dinosaurs at school now.

This is the largest and first one she found. Here he is already turning green again after putting him back outside.

Here are both lizards together climbing up to freedom!

Hey Mommy, can I put it in my hair, like on the Parent Trap?

Sure just don't put it in my hair!

She was so proud of them!

Random Girl Stuff

Just a few various things to share...

This was our Christmas card photo..I made the dresses for the girls to wear in the Christmas parade. We helped create the Missionette float for church. Rosie said she was Laura and Lucy was Carrie.

Lucy found this in the closet and insisted on wearing it to church for Thanksgiving. She made an adorable Indian. What a cheese-smile!

Fall by the lake and my not-so-great third, yes I said third attempt at a fall photo of the girls...The Nartjie outfits sure are cute, but the girls aren't cooperating!

Working, very hard, at Angel Food Ministries. Hey that's not exactly what I ordered, but I'll take it!

Rosie studied the life cycle of a butterfly for her science fair project. This is the one lonely butterfly that made it, just before she released it!

Jenny Craig?

So, we were on the way to church tonight when Rosie commented on a lady walking down the road. Here is how the conversation went...

Rosie: Look at that lady.
Lucy: Who is it?
Rosie: I don't know
Lucy: That's Jenny Craig!
Rosie: I don't think so. Jenny Craig lives in Hollywood doesn't she Mommy.
Me: I don't know, maybe.
Lucy: No, that is Jenny Craig!
Rosie: No, Jenny Craig is that lady on the commericals. Is she the lady with brown hair or blonde hair Mommy?
Me: I don't know. I don't think she is the lady on the commericals. I don't know if Jenny Craig is a real person or not.
Lucy: Yes she is, she is right there!

And on and on it went! Is she a real person? Heck if I know! Apparently Lucy has connections and apparently we watch to much tv!
