How Buddy Learned to Open a Door
SINCE Buddy can easily climb out of the playspaces, Dad decided to unlatch the door on this one. Buddy, imitating his Parent's walked in and out several times, each time opening the door and closing it behind him just like Mommy and Daddy.
He has been fascinated with this for several days now.
Favorite Time of Year
WHEN the Shamrock is happy, Dad is happy, for the same reasons.
Autumn, with its cooler temperatures and bright sunshine, is Dad's favorite time of year and coincidentally the Shamrock's too. The leaves will continue to get greener and bigger while the browning around their edges will cease. The flowers will continue to bloom. By December this plant will be as big and thick as a jungle.
Buddy's New Outfits
BUDDY has some new outfits.
♫ "I'm going to a party at the county jail!" ♫
Buddy has a new backpack. It has a tether that allows him some freedom of movement while in public, but won't let him wander too far away.
So soft and cuddly. Huggey Bear loves to be held. No, he has not taken up a binky. He simply found one of hers and decided to give it a try.
He loves Mom's blanket. He'll hide underneath and play peek-a-boo.

Buggy's New Outfits
BUGGY has some new threads courtesy of Grandma.
Dad thinks the one above resembles a strawberry.
If the collar were green instead of white, and it didn't have the flower patches, it would be a perfect strawberry outfit.
This one is too cute! It is cuddly and soft. Now, if Dad could only get her to sit in his lap for more than a minute, he could enjoy it too.
Mom saw the backpack and thought it was a great idea. It come with a tether so she can walk with some freedom while out and about but cannot wander too far away. Plus it doesn't look like a dog harness.
So cute.

It was Not Funny!
AS we break down in laughter...
Mom and Dad had had a bad day. Master Crabby Pants and Miss Crabby Panties sucked all of the Parent's emotional energy. They were picky eaters, and screamed about what they were offered. They had had their flu shots, and screamed about the pain from the needle. They were up too long, and fussed about being tired.
To add to the stress, there were fruit fly buzzing seemingly everywhere.Dad was swatting them away while he tried to relax and watch TV.
Out of the corner of his eye, in the uncorrected periphery where his spectacle lens does not cover, he spotted one. Dad slapped his thigh thinking he had finally killed one.
From behind him Mom erupted into laughter. Realizing that she had retrieved the old laser cat toy, and had put its spot on his thigh, he grew more frustrated.
Dad replied with an "Arghh!" and an indecent display of his extended middle finger.
This causes Mom further laughter, of which Dad cannot help but to join in. A good prank is good, objective of its recipient.
Call it payback. Early on in their marriage Dad got Mom good. He aggravated her unwarranted fear of bedbugs (back then) invading her ear while she slept. He told her fibs about their prevalence and what they do to sleeping hosts (feeding on earwax and infecting human brains). When they retired to bed that evening, Mom could barely relax with the icky thoughts crawling around her mind. Earlier, he had placed the feathered cat toy under his side of the bed. It hangs from a string at the tip of a long wand. Once she finally lulled off, he tickled her ear with it. She slapped her ear pretty good while he laughed.
So turnabout is fair play.

Lunch
DAD's lunch.
Mom takes credit for getting him to eat broccoli. It is good actually, something he would never have dreamed he would claim a few years ago. The secret is to rinse or dunk it in cold water once done.
Mom also notes that it stinks up the house when he makes it. It smells like the diaper pail needs changing!
But while that is unpleasant, the broccoli sure tastes good. Plus dad makes enough on the weekend to last all week.
