Once The Petting Zoo Is Complete We Will Take Over The World


Mama got a rabbit from a co-worker last week. We already had a cage but the former bunny owners gave us another one. They also work as goat traps. I left the bunny cage with the door open unattended to go get something and I came back to find Vince stealing the bunny's food pellets. Henry and Ike look on in curiosity.

Below, Henry screams "EAT THE CARROT! I GAVE YOU A CARROT!" in a maniacal but loving tone similar to that of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Bunny's name is Clover. I asked Henry if we should keep that name or go with something else and he said we should name it Happy Tooterpants. I thought it was a pretty decent name and very creative but in the end we decided to stick with Clover.


Here is Henry sharing a slightly more sedated moment with Clover.

Here is a video of Henry during his crazy time. Almost daily he feels compelled to run around in circles.



I have been working diligently around the house. The remaining siding is coming along very well. I thing one more full day of uninterrupted work and it would be done. But those days seem few and far between. Hopefully I will have it done Saturday. I will have to get some good pictures because it almost looks like we live in an actual finished house now -- without and landscaping, an adequate driveway, or a properly finished mudroom. Otherwise, we are just about there...

The other day Henry told me that I was his "favorite dad in the whole best wo-wold". That is kind of a big deal. Violet has like seven teeth now. She just ordered her some sweet new Robeez for her birthday. One year already. Yikes.

Happy Tooterpants!!

Kirk runs in circles for no reason, too. Sometimes he'll run around a central object but more often than not, it's just a lone circle.

Hey, nice writing! Also, do you keep Ike outside? Cause' I was thinking about how our dogs would eat a rabbit as soon as possible. Is it a baby one, or an adult?
Uncle Jere, I think you should try to publish a book about your family and their crazy ideas! Really, they're super-funny. How long is Henry's hair NOW? It's like a bird's nest! It's...it's...HUGE!!!
