Well so much for trying to get on track and stay on track with all my weekly blog entries, hunh?! Things have been abnormally crazy lately and even though we are now home and back in the swing of things, life is just busy!
Although now and then I post without adding a picture, I HATE to do that! I am all about pictures with my posts! This one has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with anything in my post, but it is cute and has a funny story!!
When we were back in Kansas the kids got to see a teeny tiny itty bitty baby water turtle up close and personal. My brother had caught it and given it to his girlfriend and she brought it over to my parents for the kids to see. Huntler was “okay” with it…meaning as long as it kept its distance, all was well. Gentry is super skiddish these days and wanted nothing to do with the cute little fella!!
Anyway, we were out swimming a few nights ago and she saw this turtle pool toy and about came unglued. She was in pure panic mode and crying and flailing and all over the place. Now, I realize she was beyond terrified, but it was HILARIOUS!!! I put the turtle behind me and as long as she couldn’t see it, she was fine. Well, she moved and saw it and the panic started all over again. This happened several times while we were out that night and although I hate for either one of my kids to be scared, it was so stinkin’ funny!!
Here is Huntler with his turtle friend!!
And since we have a birthday party to attend in just a couple of hours (less than that really!), I am going to keep the rest of this short! But here are six bits of randomness about me!!
Things I prefer:
- Hamburgers over hotdogs
- Iced tea over hot tea
- Cake over ice cream
- Dogs over cats
- Rain over sun
- Cold over heat

my sister in law has the same turtle and now Halley won’t even go in her pool. She used to love it, but is convinced that the turtle is lurking and will attack her!
I was going to ask you if Garrett got a turtle for Huntler or not. If Gentry keeps on being easily frightened, her ornery brother just might have some fun with that in the coming years. Grandpa got his pool opened yesterday, only 83 degrees. I hope to try it out in the next couple of days. Love, Debbie
Cute story…we couldn’t get our 3 year old to touch the gorilla statue at the zoo after she saw the real ones!
