So I was talking to my friend Ann on Monday evening. I happen to glance out my downstairs door window and I see a big black thing carrying a big white thing. For a moment I think that it is carrying a goat but there are not any around here then I think that it might be our white cat, but the white thing was too big for that and then I realize that it was our garbage bag. Now this is all flashing through my mind really quick and the next thing I do is shut the door all the way because the kids(including the husband) never shut it all the way and I am thinking if this bear even comes close to the door and leans on it, he will be in the house. Next I scramble to find my camera and snap some pictures through dirty windows. I might have to clean them so I can get better pictures. I was a little shaky because I am afraid of bears when they are this close. I do think he is pretty and I didn't mind using the zoom when he was out back and I was on the deck close to my open door. Anyway, the kids were not thrilled with how much he ate. I think he tore through about 6 bags of garbage. By the time I saw him he had already eaten a ton. I did make the kids some cookies for cleaning up the mess. He did come back around 1am this morning looking for more but lucky for us garbage pick up was Tuesday afternoon. I am going to have to spray some ammonia on the garbage I hear that keeps them away. Enjoy the pictures.
We are a family of four. Keith has his own contracting business. He plays the trombone in the band and enjoys playing Smash on the Wii and teasing the kids. Becky (me) does not play in the band yet. I am learning to play the bells so I can join in the fun. I do play the cello with the orchestra. I am an Avon rep and I enjoy stamping, scrapbooking, crocheting and reading, basically anything other than cleaning. Kiley plays the flute in the band. She taught herself how to play. She also plays the violin with the orchestra. She is very excited to turn 16 in Srptember and to enjoy all the activities that come with that age. Kiley has a red belt in Hapkido. Danny plays the drums in the band. He is an avid reader. He is probably one of the few kids who gets to hear the phrase stop reading more than once in his life from a parent. He also is a teenage boy and so he often hears stop eating, or chew your food. Danny has a black belt in Hapkido. We hope you enjoy our family blog!
