Green thumb.

I do have to admit that they did look like strange beets but beets is what we planted along with carrots and lettuce. Since carrots and lettuce were growing those other plants had to be beets. I lovingly watered them daily and removed the weeds from the garden so they could grow. Then one day I saw my neighbors beets and they looked nothing like mine. Must be a different variety I thought. Just to be sure I pulled one out. Well it was not a beet at all just a big healthy weed. Some of the healthiest ones must have been well over two feet tall. The first foray into gardening has been interesting...

Brothers.

I always had heard that some of the worst fights were between brothers. I just didn't expect it to be happening so soon. I left the boys alone for a moment as I tried to setup a movie for the girls, while doing that I heard a thunk and then immediately after came the screaming and crying. I raced up stairs to find the little bear on his knees with a big smile on his face as he happily watched his little brother scream. As I got closer I soon realized that the little guy had a massive fat lip and a small welt on the side of his face. I removed the little bear from the scene and comforted the little guy. As things calmed down I made an inspection of the scene and found a 6 inch long cylindrical wooden block with a small splat of blood on it. Unbelievable.....
