Real Live *Peeps*

We took Merrick to Farm Supply today *I know, I know...something you only do if you live in the country :)* to see the chicks they have for sale. He loves all kinds of animals so we figured he would love them.

He did, but is a little rough. Only 1 chick got a concussion. (Just kidding) We also got to see a bunny and some ferrets...who he "meowed" at. :)Here are some pictures of our homeade zoo trip. :)

Dolphin Salon

This pic was sent to me by my sisters while I was at work today. Merrick was standing in the bathroom sink, holding a stuffed dolphin, drying its "hair" with the dryer he had just watched one of the aunties use. Oook. I suppose even dolphins want to look their best. :)

New Tricks

Merrick is such a mess while he eats...I've really been avoiding giving him silverware. I gave it a try yesterday, though, and it went pretty smoothly! Maybe he won't be eating with his fingers forever...:) Now if I can just get him to stop standing on the table.

Red-Handed

"Be sure your sins will always find you out." My mom always used to tell me this. :) Today while I was in the shower, and Billy was working on homework, Merrick helped himself to my *very forbidden* crackberry. It was sitting on top of his diaper bag on our kitchen table (his favorite perch). He proceeded to climb up onto it, snatch my phone, call my sister, AND take the above pic of his own feet. *That is my phone cover he removed laying by his foot* I wouldn't have known, but he left the evidence in my call log, and in my pictures. Better luck next time, kiddo. ;)

Bowling!

We took the kids from 180 *our youth group* bowling today after church. Lots of fun...although the only bowling ball I should be carrying around is the one growing under my shirt. ;) I am pretty much in a class by myself when it comes to awful. Anyway, it was fun, and no one was injured *a common occurrence at 180* which is always a plus! Here are some pictures from our little field trip!
