Homecoming Day 4 and 5

Yesterday was super busy so I didn't get a chance to post. So here is Anna on Day 4 for Tacky day. She didn't really go all out. I guess her hair was probably the tackiest.

Day 5 is dress in black and white day. She didn't want to so she wanted to wear this. I love this shirt on her, makes her look so happy. Well she is pretty happy.

Today we are having a retirement party for Chad's aunt Cherynelle. I can't wait we are going to have a yummy lunch.

I'm taking pictures of the homecoming royalty and the parade and the game tonight so my plate will be pretty busy today.

Here are a few pictures, next week we will have to focus on Collin. :)

Homecoming Day 3!

Wear your favorite Jersey Day!

Chad brought Anna this pink Romo Dallas Cowboy Jersey home from the ballgame last weekend when they went to watch the Razorbacks play Texas A&M. 

 Go Cowboys! I mean Bears!!!!

Why you should never cut your baby boy's hair?

This is Collin. He is 15 months and 2 weeks old and he has a few things he needs to get off his chest.

When mommy says here Collin hold the comb and she starts to move toward your head with a foreign object, scream very loud. It will save you a lot of ahh poor baby who cut your hair in the future.

I use to look like this....

Then my mommy cut my hair and now I look like this...

What was she thinking?

I am still cute.... but I hope she takes me to a barber next time or my paw paw.



Homecoming, Day 2!

Today is Dress your Best day because it was also picture day. I thought Anna looked really cute and we practiced different smiles. When I picked her up this afternoon  I asked her how she smiled and well lets just say it was not one of the ones we practiced.

Smile Anna, take 1.



Smile Anna, Take 2

The Mouse & the Ketchup packet

The mouse has attacked the ketchup packets in my closed console of my car!!! I don't know how it got in there, but Friday morning when I went to get my chap stick out. I smelled ketchup. I just thought one of the packets has exploded.

It exploded all right. By the teeth of a mouse or possible mice. Who knows at this point?

Here is a picture.

So with this in mind, I've completely cleaned out my console. No more candy, ketchup, or bubble gum. My car is rid of all types or left over products of food. It is clean, except for.... Are you ready for this?

Rat Bait. Yes, I went to Parts Center, got a package of Rat Bait, put on rubber gloves, and very carefully placed 1/4 bar under my seat, 1/4 bar under my back seat, 1/4 bar in my console, and 1/4 bar on the hood of my car by my windshield.

On Saturday morning, I went outside with gloves on and discovered the bar on the hood was shoved down toward the motor and it was 1/2 eaten. There was mp (mouse poop) and the hood and their was no evidence of a mouse inside my car.

Yes, I think I got the little joker.  I checked again yesterday morning and again this morning. Still no sign of mp in my car or bites taken out of bait. I sure hope he is gone!

PS I had a long talk with Anna about how dangerous this bait was. I will remove it in about a week!

Where oh Where, Could that lil' Mouse Be?

Yes that is the question around my house car. Believe it or not, but there is a mouse somewhere in my car. I don't hear him or see him (or her), I just see evidence that she or he has been there. I have taken all the junk out of the car, including the car seats and vacuumed every inch possible.

There was a pile of Cheerios that I believe some little person spilled and I'm sure that is what lured the mouse inside my car. But as of this moment there is NOTHING to eat in my car so why does it keep coming in and pooping in Collin's car seat.

I looked in the motor to see if there was a stash of deer corn, dog food, or Cheerios and there was none of the above. One year when i had my gray Honda accord the guys at the shop were changing the oil and told Chad to come and take a look. My air filter was full of deer corn, from our feeder in the back yard.

Well we don't have any deer corn in the back yard, but we do have dog food. I'm not really sure how to handle this situation.

My two biggest fears!

1. The mouse will magically appear on the dashboard and I will freak and wreak.
2. The mouse will pop out of the air condition vent while chad is driving my boss and his wife to the Razorback game this weekend in Dallas.

I can see it now....

Chad says, so Mrs. Anthony do you enjoy watching football and the Razorbacks? Mrs. Anthony replies why yes I actually do then in a blink of the eye out pops the mouse as if he says Cheese. There are screams throughout the Sequoia and everyone begins to panic.

Months later...Front page story of the Showtime (company newsletter). John Ed Anthony, owner along with his wife, and Executive Vice President Rick Green escaped a close encounter when a mouse popped out of the air vent of the vehicle they were riding in startling the driver and causing panic throughout the vehicle.

The 2010 Sequoia is owned by the executive assistant to the president, India Weatherly.

Oh the shame...

I'll report more on this situation tomorrow! Hopefully post some kind of pictures!
