Don't Tell Ben


An article in the Orange County Register reads,


"Beyond the beige stucco walls and lush landscaping that protect Mission Viejo's Palmia gated community, there's killing to be done." (Read the rest of the article, Gunning for rabbits in Orange County)

That's right. It's now legal to kill Thumper (or Bunny Foo Foo, which have you) in Mission Viejo. Why? Because apparently they're everywhere and doing lots of damage. I think they're cute. In fact, one of our favorite early evening outside games in our new house is "Bunny Hunting". Except now we really can.

Oh my gosh, do you even know how much Ben would LOVE to shoot a REAL gun and actually KILL something?!?!?!?!

Good thing he can't read. I plan to keep this tid bit of info to myself, thank you very much.

I am not sure how to take the "Oh my gosh, do you even know how much Ben would LOVE to shoot a REAL gun and actually KILL something?!?!?!?!" line in this blog :)
You know how not attached to animals I am, so this law only really bothers me bc... hellooooo fast moving bunnies as target practice. I just pray no one is accidently shot while someone is trying to snuff out thumper.

Living off the land! We use to have bunnies in our yard as a kid, I would always leave them treats. :) my brothers would try to kill them.

I loathe the bunnies. My old roomate would go out to the backyard in a fit of rage and spray them with the hose. It was so funny to watch her scream "Die you damn bunnies, DIE!"

Loathe them? Really Jess? But they're so cute! We have a little family and the two baby bunnies are adorable... how could anyone want to scream at them! ;)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
