Feeding Time

This girl loves to play babies.  She especially enjoys feeding them.  She's been asking for a highchair for her baby dolls for a while so I finally got her one, and I think it was the best day of her life.  She only said "thank you" about twenty-seven times, though, so I'm not sure.  

Here we are on a Saturday morning, feeding her baby doll many things, including mushroom salad and chocolate chip cookies.  Mmmm!

Bush-Sweet-Bush

Sam has found the perfect place for a hideout - under our front privet bush.  Sometimes he stays under there alone, often times he and his neighborhood friends are hanging out in it.   Sam even made a sign for it:  "Bush-Sweet-Bush".   Never thought when a parent came by looking for their child I'd say, "Yeah, their here.  They're in the bush".  

Sugarpuff

This is Sugarpuff.  He's a loving lap-dog trapped in a cat's body.  I *do not* like cats, and not just because I'm allergic.  But this cat is cool.  And I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Sam and Evie love him, and so do many families in our neighborhood.  No one seems to agree on whether or not he has a permanent home, but either way he seems to be doing well.  

He's made himself comfortable on many different porches (he likes to sleep in Evie's old stroller when visiting our house), and many families have even fed him and let him stay inside overnight.  And every family he visits has a different name for him; Pumpkin, Sancho, Ginger, Tramp, Charlie, Garfield, Snowflake, and of course, Sugarpuff.  He likes to follow kids to the elementary school in the morning, and stops at the corner of the playground field and watches them walk in to school.   He's very social, but never stays in one place for long.  He's a wanderer!

Sugarpuff, you're awesome!
