Tyler and our Governor

For those of you who don't get the CT Post, there is a great picture of Tyler high fiveing Jodi Rell. Deb - I saved it for you in case you want extra for the grandparents. I'm sure his dad is so proud of his little "Yankee" fan.

I see Waitress is playing over the weekend at the Crown (or Bow-Tie) at 9:40 so we could do that if you guys want. Nancy - are you coming?

Beware of the Rabbid Possum

For the second time this month, we are candidates for police blotter. I was thorougly enjoying myself last night at a party at my bosses house when my left me a voice mail to say to be very careful when I come home because a possum has been stalking the house, in broad daylight, for about an hour. When I called back she said my dad had just called the police to come and take care of the animal. So by the time I got home, 3 police cars had just left. Apparently in Monroe police are not allowed to shoot animals so they captured him by putting one of my garbage cans over it. I really wish I could have been there to see six police officers capture a possum. So now I have a rabbid possum under a garbage can in my driveway. Hopefuly today animal control will come to take care of it. I just can't believe that 3 police cars came. The kids were so excited to go to school today to share it with their friends.

Oh - and this morning Lauren said, "Dad - you have a lady bug in your bed" No Lauren - lady bugs are not grey and fat - it's a tick. UGH - I'm moving to the city!

Going to pick out the puppy tomorrow after soccer. We are going to spend the Saturday night on the cape and drive home sunday.

Have a happy weekend.

Ant party!

The ants came marching 100 by 100...

You've really never seen so many ants in one place ever inside a house. I'd be disgusted to tell you that it was in our dishwasher. I took all the dishes out and hand washed them all. Ran the empty dishwasher twice to drown them all out. We can't figure out how they're getting in. All the drawers are out of the cabinets, everything washed. The cats think it's a buffet. (They eat ants which is kinda gross). The ants are crawling from behind the dishwasher through the underside of the counter tops. I've sprayed, flayed and prayed that it's the end....This is what I get after a nice breakfast out with you guys.

Now we're eating off of paper plates/cups and not using dishwasher until I can get things under control. How's the piddling Deb?
