Pictures, Day 6

Welcome to Day 6 of photos. Dad is still a little under the weather, so Mom and Dad didn't go skiing today. Which meant that Mom had ALL DAY to take pictures of us. She took something like 350 pictures. Seriously. Of course, there were a lot of out-of-focus pictures, and pictures where you've got just a leg, or a split-second after the interesting stuff happened, or just boring pictures. But Mom's of the belief that with digital photography, it's always better to get more, and delete often. But, she still ends up with a zillion pictures of us that she 'likes'. Of course. If I'm in it, how could you NOT like it? Yuh. Totally.

Anyway, Abby sort of got on my nerves today. When Mom was playing on the computer (she calls it 'writing' - I call it tapping away on the keyboard), Abby kept taking MY spot by Mom. And then when Dad would give me scratchies, Abby would nudge her way in. And then she was on and on with her stuffie ball. Oy. The girl was driving me crazy. So we had some serious bitey-face (bitey-butt, bitey-leg, bitey-ear, etc.) sessions today. Which isn't all bad.

Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, yes, we are made out of a super-high tech rubber-plastic composite. I think it's called Silly Putty. Heehee.






















But as always, we had fun, and end the day snuggled up next to each other. It's nice to have a sister. *gasp* Did I just say that??? Wow. I have No Idea where that came from! *grin*

Thursday Night Smackdown**

Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!

But before we start, I'd like you to note how, in this first picture, my sister and I are clearly different colors:

This is important, trust me. Hold that thought while I make sure my little sister knows her place. Heehee.




Hmm. I'm not really sure whose head is whose in that last picture...


You see how my sister is being dragged through the dirt there? Hold that thought in your mind...



And do you see the dust we are kicking up in that last picture? Hold that thought, too.



Okay, so after several rounds of me showing my sister who's boss, we both got brushed down (because of the aforementioned dust), and came inside.

And then Mom noticed this:

After rolling around in the dust, my little blonde sister is Not Blonde Any More!!! Seriously. We are both the same color right now. That is Abby in that picture - you can tell from the collar. Dad had a guitar lesson tonight so giving Abby a bath wasn't in the cards, but Mom and Dad figured that if she stayed the same color after being vigorously brushed (and she was), she probably wasn't going to get the house too much dustier than it already is.

But it also means that we get to go swimming tomorrow!!!

In the meantime, I'm going to look around for Rod Serling, because it's a little creepy to have my sister looking like a bigger-boned version of my Most Attractive red-haired self.

**Okay, this actually took place during the day, but that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
