Hubby and I took H and C to the outdoor gun-range, that's about an hour south of our house, on December 30th. S didn't go because it involved getting up early. C's favorite was the little bolt action 22 used on the paper hostage targets. He particularly liked making head shots on the bad guy. H's favorite was the semi-auto 22 pistol. She also enjoyed the hostage paper targets as well as Hubby's new knock over targets that go ding and fall over when you hit them. I scavenged about 10 lbs of brass from the neighboring pistol bay.
Our Labrador, Hazel, doesn't like the fireworks folks have been setting off around here since New Year's Eve. The other two aren't bothered by it at all.
The Brittany, Arrow, has been very good about the geese lately. Even though I have accidentally left him and them out at the same time on several occasions in the past few weeks, he has not chased, nor harassed them even once. I don't expect this good behavior to last, but I am relieved the geese have not been harmed by my absentmindedness.
The neighbors invited us to a New Years Eve block party. Fist block party we've had in these parts since we moved here nearly 6 years ago. It was mucking freezing that night.
The three kids have been playing Super Smash Bros. a lot lately, that game has staying power.
I cut C's hair and he is thrilled, because now he has "anime hair".
We gave H a phone for her Birthday this year, and it was met with much surprise and glee.
