Silly animals

Our dog Jessie would not get near the pool all summer, but only for a quick drink. Now that it is empty, he finds it quite fun.

Our cat loves Ruth's book bag and kept rubbing against it and I finally found out why. She loves the scent of peppermint and Ruth had some peppermint gun in the outter pocket!

V-Ball Tournament

Today was the first volleyball tournament. Of course we were up at the crack of dawn to head out. The team won the first 3 of 3, so they went to the playoff and came in second. The last game had some very questionable calls, but oh well. It was a full day of playing and they really did great~~~except for the first game after lunch which they lost, but it was the best of 3/3. Us parents decided that maybe next time, we will not let the girls eat and if so, only lots of sugar because obviously the"eat only healthy snacks" wasn't working. After all, what 12 year old thrives on "healthy" foods....I'm just sayin'.

WEATHER

...remains from Hermine has come and knocked on our door.....bring 8 inches of rain for us, and 3-4 tornadoes for just north and east of us......Ready for this to end. Needless to say, no soccer practice today, especially since THE PRACTICE FIELD IS FEET UNDER THE CREEK that is next to it!!!!!
