The Baby Possum

This weekend the kids spent the night with Memaw. While they were there, Greta & Bella (the Schnauzer's) brought a baby possum in the house!!! Darla said she was freaking out and screamed and ran outside and of course Bo did exactly the same thing she did. It is sooo funny to hear Bo tell the story..."Baby Possum came in the house and it laid there and looked around and pooped." I can't even imagine what I would have done if I had been there or had a possum run in our house.

Darla is still playing volleyball with the Lucky Stars. We haven't won a game yet, but Darla is getting a lot better. She gets a dollar every time the ball goes over the net so she stays pretty motivated.

I hope I never, ever forget this...Brent was playing the "I've got your nose" game with Bo. Well, Bo did the same thing back to his Daddy but to hold his "nose" in his fingers, he sticks his pointer finger out and wiggles it up and down. I know it is really hard to describe and doesn't sound that funny, but trust me, it's hilarious!

Bo started saying "Darla" instead of "Da-wah" about 2 weeks ago; he even corrected Jakob at Easter last weekend. It is so bittersweet - I know he has to learn how to say his words the right way, but it's just another sign that he's growing up way too fast. I refuse to correct him on "Ay-yoe" (yellow) or "People" (purple). He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Chuggington and Krypto-Dog...he's growing out of the Dora phase I think. And the big shocker is, he eats SALAD!!!
