Papa has nicknamed Harper the "Pointer Sister" since she points at everything she wants and to where she wants to go.
After breakfast Rielee started telling me how she wanted to build a squirrel trap because she wanted to pet a squirrel and she had never seen one close up. I started to try to talk her out of it telling her that squirrels were wild animals and she wouldn't be able to pet one, etc., and then I look over at Papa and see a sheepish look on his face. He had told her a story yesterday of how he caught a squirrel when he was a little boy, so out they go to the shop to build a trap. No success yet. The girl is obsessed with wildlife. The other day at the pool I noticed that she was standing frozen in one spot, so I asked what she was doing. She said she was making friends with a fly, that he had landed on her arm and really liked her. She runs over and tries to pull me over with her, she says "stand really still, maybe he'll come back and you can see him." It was so cute I almost hated to tell her the truth about flies, but not for long.
Ava feeding Auna a Cheerio
We finally got smart today and borrowed Rielee's wagon to pull the Harper and Ava around.
Then Papa decided to hook them up to the lawnmower and take them for a ride. We have a similar picture of him pulling Emmy and Will in a very tiny Radio Flyer wagon when they were little.
