Thanksgiving Weekend

Playtime and Photos at City Park
Feeding the ducks.

Making funny faces while I try to take pictures.



She's discovered the art of cheesing for the camera.










We were also super productive over the weekend. 
With Nana entertaining Cassidy, Jeff and I got to work.  We installed our first window by ourselves! 


It was uneventful and successful, with no fighting or bickering at all!  It took us nearly 6 hours, but we did stop for a yummy lunch at Jaegers!

We also reinforced the neighbor's back yard fence. 



About a week ago, after Jeff and Cassidy had left in the morning, when I went to let the dogs in only Sake turned up ... and I swear she was grinning.  I heard Baxter in the distance, yelping for help. 
I went outside to find him in the neighbors yard, unable to fit back through the fence where he had managed to squeeze through the space where a board had falled down.  I tried coaxing.  I tried bribing. I tried pulling.  The dog actually defied physics when he fit his pudgy body through that space.  
I got in the car, drove around the block, and knocked on the neighbors door.  No answer.  Luckily their side gate was unlocked, so I opened it and Baxter came running.  He thought it great fun that he got to ride in the front seat on the way home, and I swear Sake was laughing at him when we went back inside.   
So now we have a two layer fence reinforced with screws rather than nails, which the dogs seem to be able to pull (or push) out.

We also put up our Christmas decorations!

Weekend at Nana and Papa's

We spent the weekend up at Nana and Papa's in McComb and went out on the boat for the first time.  Cassidy liked it for but was not too fond of the noisy motor or going fast.  It was a bit chilly this time, but I can't wait to go out when it's warm and do some fishing! 









We also tried fishing out in front of Nana and Papa's house, but there are apparently no fish in that lake ... so Cassidy enjoyed that for about 2 minutes. 
 I didn't mind the lack of fish, and spent a good hour casting and catching nothing while enjoying the sunshine!
