Flood waters in our back yard

Water gushing out of the neighbors fence.

Kimball has an obsession with locking doors. Unfortunately, he likes to lock himself and Joey and I out of the house when Peter is not home--AGGHHH! This day (the second time it happened), Peter was going to be home soon so we only had 45 minutes until he got there. But for some reason, Peter only had his car key, no house key. We spent an hour trying to jimmy-rig the back door open. Right before the locksmith and Sally with food/water supplies got there, Peter told me to pull really hard on the door one last time while he spilled the credit card in. i pulled with all my might and the door swung open. poor Peter forgot to move his head though. There was a big blue knot on his forehead for a while.

We have since hide keys to prevent future incidents.

Our lovely pet. I had no idea that caterpillars shed their skin. I looked in the jar and thought it had died. It was just growing.

Here's our second pet. he started out green and tiny and ended up huge ans fat. He is now in the process of metamorphosis, and sits writhing in his cocoon in the jar on our kitchen counter. we all cannot wait to see him come out transformed!
