Quiet but Eventful weekend…

We stayed home this weekend and cleaned the house and just hung out with the kids… It was a pretty quiet weekend, It rained most of the weekend anyways so it felt good to stay in… This morning I went down stairs to check the garden and left the kids in the house with Simon… I forgot to close the gate behind me cause I was sure that they would stay inside but Simon came out to talk to me and Colin and Xavier followed… Of course Colin headed straight for the stairs (6 Concrete stairs) and all we saw was the little body at the top disapear… I got to him within a second of the fall and held him close and brought him inside… My hands felt all over him to make sure he was OK and Xavier just kept on telling me that Colin wanted Maju (to nurse) and I promptly gave Comin the breast while I kept on examining him… Besides a a little red scape on his shoulder we couldn’t find anything else wrong and within a minute or two he was up and walking and back to his old self… This kid is Resiliant! After Supper tonight we went to a park on the Water side and took some pics and had fun…

Going Batty ;)

I was getting ready to go into the pool and just grabbing the towels that were on the line and then saw one that had fallen on the stairs… so I go to pick it up and I here a real high pitch sound that sounded like the beetles we have in the spring that try to get in out house so I thought one of them was in there… then the towel was moving… so I think…. Hmmmmm…. That must be a big bug!
So I move the towel to let the bug out and then I see some thing huddled in the corner of the towel… At first I thought it was a mouse or something but then it turned its head and screamed at me and I realized that it was a bat!! So I cover the thing back up again and start breathing again… I’m not scared of bats per-say I just wasn’t prepared to have one scream at me at that particular moment… ya know?
So I go swimming, breathe a bit and then went to open the towel again to see if it was OK.. It was already on the stairs at that point and I took a few pics… I went in the house for a few secs and when I came back out it had disappeared… so hopefully it was just stunned… I guess it had flown into the towel during the night and made it fall…
