Raccoons

So, Merilee and I are watching Little House on the Prairie. It is the episode where Laura gets a raccoon, Jasper, and the raccoon bites her dog Jack and Laura. They think the raccoon is rabid and everyone thinks Laura and Jack will get rabies.

Anyway, Merilee asks:

M: Mommy what do raccoons eat?
Me: eggs, fruit, fish, meat?
M: So they don't eat people?
Me: No, of course not!
M: Aww, that's so cute. Can I have one?
Me: NO, raccoons don't make good pets.
M: Why, will they eat me?
Me: No, they just make a mess...just watch the show!

It was also a "you had to be there moment" to really see the innocence and sincerity during the conversation. She is so funny.

Kids are so cute!! I love the things they say!!

I see that you found where I got my blog backgrounds. For my headers I go online and find free digital scrap booking stuff and download it then I put it together in the Keynote program on my mac and send it to iphoto and then in blogger go to the layout page and click edit on the blog header section and then I upload it as a photo and choose the "instead of description" option and that's how I do it. I don't know how to do it on a PC but I might be able to help you figure it out.
or you can email me whatever picture(s) you want on your header and I can make one for you that matches the background you chose. my email address is eldredge888@earthlink.net

I love the cute moments. They start to make up for the not-so-cute ones ;)
