A Monkey Pruned Mom's Palms...No Wait, that's WAYNE!

Wayne was able to get his hands on some climbing gear and tree spikes and he spent the morning up in the tops of Mom's Palm trees.  He worked to cut out all the seed pods that make a horrible mess in the pool and a few weepy limbs too.  He made the climb look pretty easy but the tricky part was to get the pods to fall "gracefully".  Each of them were 4-5 feet in length and must've weighed somewhere between 20-50 pounds each so they dropped like torpedoes!  Luckily we were successful...no people or property were harmed and the trees looked great!

Babysitting Carter...

I Haven't been posting regularly lately...work has been busy but these were cute. I was babysitting Carter sometime in September (honestly, I forget the day) and wanted to share a couple pictures. It was just before bedtime when we were watching Ice Age and he just looked so cute in my big bean bag so I snapped a couple of pictures. Then at Grama's house on a day she was babysitting she asked me to help build the new red car she bought for him (surprisingly trickier than it looks) but I figured it out. Carter had a hard time waiting and watching so he "helped" by handing lots of parts the whole time! Once it was done he had fun playing with it (although so far he only figured out how to push himself backwards). His favorite thing seemed to be simply getting in and out and opening and shutting the door again and again! :)
