Wordless Wednesday - How Do You Sleep at Night?

Nearly Wordless Wednesday

For Christmas, Gremlin received a Fisher Price Power Wheels battery powered Mustang.  He's literally worn the wheels out driving it and Dad needed to order some new ones, which came the other day.

Further confirmation I chose the right person to be my sons' father:

Summer is a time for weeknight picnics on the boat.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday

There are only so many beings living in the house with the opposable thumbs necessary to fill a glass and return the bottle to the fridge with this much juice remaining.  I will find you.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday - Red

My friend, Sue at Laundry for Six was tagged in a meme to post seven red things. She went a little overboard and did ten(ish). I've decided to take up her challenge and post my own seven(ish).

Red is Gremlin's most favorite color.

Tea is my most favorite beverage.

We got a shiny new red emergency plate when we redid the kitchen.

Daisy's ears have been bugging her.
The vet asked us to get a urine sample. Yeah, right.

20 Days 'til pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training!

I'm actually going to tag a few people because I haven't memed in forever:

Jean in Stimeyland, because I'm sure she's got 1000 red pictures just ready to go. And because she's speaking on an Autism panel at BlogHer!

Otter Thomas (not his real name) at Life of a New Dad, because I've never tagged a guy blogger before. And why does that sound dirty when clearly, it is not? And because I enjoy reading his take on the insights and milestones of first time parenting.

Rachel at A Reservation for Six. Because when you're preparing for the birth of your FIFTH child, there's nothing you need more than to help out a friend with a mindless task.

And if you're in the mood, please play along. You can check out a lot of other Wordless Wednesdays over here.

Also, Daisy doesn't like the fake cobwebs.
She's a stickler for cleanliness, like her mother...

Not Wednesday, But Still Nearly Wordless

MM: You're not in trouble. I just want you to tell me the truth.

Gremlin: Annabelle did it.

MM: Annabelle's at school. Try again.

Gremlin: No, they just came and picked her up.

MM: Okay. Now you're in trouble...

Nearly Wordless Wednesday - Unbreak My Heart*

Maybe it's too soon but the house is too quiet, the bed is too empty and the cat is wandering around, looking.

Meet our new (as yet unnamed) little girl.
Born May 12th and joining our little Cabina Contenta on July 3rd.

Shameless Wednesday

In my defense, it was 1986.

Now I double dog dare you; post yours.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday - What Can Brown Do for You?

This is The Bink after our neighbor's dog treed him.

These are my sons and neighbor children trying to talk The Bink down from the limb on which he was perching. This picture was taken from the same spot as the first picture, minus the zoom.
Pretty spry for a 13 year old cat.

This is the UPS truck onto whose roof we thought The Bink might jump if parked beneath the tree.

This is the incredibly accomodating and concerned UPS driver who was prepared to catch The Bink when the truck only served to scare the shit out of him and make him jump at least 10 of an estimated 15 feet.

This is The Bink uninjured and unimpressed by an exciting day.
