Rodeos, Hurricanes and 1 Day of 2nd Grade!

Although not mentioned in the title of this post, I thought the puppet show the girls put on a while back deserved a nod. Clearly, I was confused as to how the puppets were moving on their own. One baby was being Santa (in the background) while another was being 2 friend dolls. Improv puppet shows are truly an untapped market.
Our neighbors gave us tickets to the rodeo for last Saturday. We all, especially the girls, had a really fun time. I'm thinking you may just see some Ethiopian bull riders before too long... Again, an untapped market!
Jason and the babes. On closer observation you may wonder to yourself why Obse and Sela are in long sleeves when it's hotter than the sun here. Well, because that was a bit better than the jacket and heavy sweater they attempted to leave the house in.
If only this picture had sound you could sort-of comprehend the volume that God gave T-bone. Honestly, it must be some sort of gift for that loud of "bye" to come out of someone under 35lbs. At least he has manners, as everyone in the bleachers got an equal farwell.
The bull are great an all, but T was absolutely more interested in scaring his parents while he tried to fall through the bleachers.
Their friend Emily's family helps run the rodeo, so someone felt very old, independent and sassy getting to walk around and help pass out water!
Practicing to get her foot in the bull-riding market.
So my babies had their first (and only) day of 2nd grade on Monday. They are now upstairs in their school and so basically assume they are big-men on campus. Side Note: still learning how to use the camera - it's really not dark outside when we leave. Their career as upper-classmen has been short lived, however, due to Hurricane Fay. They were so relieved to get a day to sleep in after their exhausting one early morning of school.
Truly, our tea-cup puppy Mona was visibly upset by the uproar Fay caused outside her windows.
