Hamster with a Soccer Ball

Sunday again! If I blink just one more time, September may disappear.

SOCCER. Yesterday was filled with soccer and more soccer. Here is a Kara photo.

XC MEETS. Last week, Teresa and David both had cross-country meets, but they were "away" and I did not go to take pictures. Maybe next time will be "home."

DO-IT-YOURSELF. And of course, let's not forget house projects. Mowing, raking, painting a patch downstairs. Frank and Teresa removed the rest of the stump in the backyard, our poor tree taken over by carpenter ants and beetles.

RODENT ANTICS. Kara's hamster is the most tame creature I have ever seen. She lets any of Kara's friends hold her, and doesn't nip or complain about anything. Kara builds scenarios for her to participate in, then takes pictures of her. She takes her out all the time, lets her run in the ball around the house, and even puts doll clothes on her. Here is our soccer-playing hamster:

And the hamster on her way to getting married. (Thanks, Grammie D--this is actually the dress you made for Mia, her American Girl doll! Modified slightly, it can also be used to have a hamster get married.)

Here we go, jumping into the next week! Here's hoping you can find ways to enjoy yours to the fullest--:)

P.S. Just experimenting: here's my nephew Craig with his Homecoming date!
