Rules rule

The silly sisters have come up with five simple rules for when they're working that they hope all by standers will remember...the rules apply individually to whom ever it applies.

Rule #1 don't yell at us when we're on top of the scaffold,
Rule #2 don't yell at us as we're hanging from the scaffold,
Rule #3 don't yell at us as we're falling through the air,
Rule #4 don't scold us when we land, and
Rule #5 don't just stand there, call the doctor!

our mistake

apparently, the middle childs boot is not supposed to double as a garbage can in the van...

Daisies

While out on a walk one day with the three year old little glow worm, the middle child and the youngest child kept picking daisies and plucking them dry; the petals falling like snow as fast as their nimble finger's could pluck.

The glow worm watched them and was inspired to pick her own daisies, but she became very concerned at the idea of pulling the petals off. She clutched her daisies tighter and admonished the silly sisters pluckings with her furrowed brow and narrowed eyes.

Finally, at the youngest childs frustrated sighings and grave exclamations of, "He loves me not!" the glow worm consoled her by stating, "That is okay youngest child, you don't need to pull the petals off."

The youngest child said in dejection, "I don't huh?"

"No!" the little glow worm chirped happily and she held up her fist full of perfectly un harmed daisies, "See! He loves me!"

Indeed, perhaps the silly sisters have been doing it wrong all these years...

the 6th annual Cattail Party

Its tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting with the sunrise, we will by snacking, kayaking, hiking, biking, Frisbeeing, snacking, playing, poontooning, fishing, swimming, eating, counting cattails, picking daisies, watching fireflies...and just over all runing wild all day long...

The menu for the day will be: Barbequed eggs, fish, pancakes, snacks, and just about any food we have on hand...


The food and activities are subject to change with the weather and our moods...the party ends when the sun goes down...

our docks

we know we promised pictures of our semi-new docks, but we don't have any pictures of them.
We thought we'd just write about them instead...

The one that was curved like an S last year is now straight as an arrow. We lost a foot of it to its cure...but the good news is the favorite father was able to save the other five feet.

The one that was curved like a question mark and never made it to the water last year is now 7 ft shorter and resembles a T. It also floats...well actually, both docks floated, but we took the boat out from under the other one.

The good news is both docks are dog safe. As the silly sisters were putting the planks down, the one eyed mutt would follow them out and test each new section before he'd let anyone else try it. And they're child safe, the glow worm ran up and down them over and over again just to make sure they worked.

Feel free to come try them for your self...
