From the Girls

Twinkle:

Howdy! Get ready for a regular western tale, folks. One that will go down in history as the greatest western of all time. At least, in our history it will. So bite into a red pepper, stick a piece of straw between yer teeth and pull up a chair.

A few days ago, the Mom found a strange-looking poop. (You would think that me, being the poop-scooper of the family, would've noticed the fact. Now, don't get me wrong. I take this poop scooping very seriously. Er, right. Now, back to the story.)

Yesterday, a neighbor came galloping over during the afternoon hours and bellowed, "Get that precious dog of your rightly out of that ther yard. There is a ferocious, mean, hideous, and practically wild bobcat out there! He's drinkin' your pool dry. He's makin' pulp out of your towel. He's--"

As all the old westerns say, "Tweren't nearly what I been tryin' to say, rightly." Er, maybe I just made that up. Ahem. Back to the story. Anyways, the neighbor didn't quite say all that stuff about towel-pulp. But he did tell us folks that ther' were some bobcats in that ther' wash. (For you city-folks, a wash is a small strip of desert. With cacti, rabbits, dust, funny birds prickly things, and now bobcats.)

Yes, there was a bobcat, fellers. A mamma and two little 'uns, about the size the size of One Cent, here. Anyway, thems were just hidin' out thar. Waitin'. Minnie found one of them little 'uns, hidin' in a bush. But, the little 'un made for his mamma and we didn't see them no more. Twere an 'citing experience for Minnie. Minnie nearly fainted with 'citement.Yes, a very 'citing experience for us all, fellers. And that is the end of this here story. Us folks haven't set eyes on a bobcat since. But, I'm surely as the sun sets every night that them bobcats are still there. Waiting...

Break a leg and bite your tongue and watch food network and poke your eye and stick yourself on cacti and skin your knee and get bit by a scorpion and spill your coffee and sprain an ankle and eat junk food and I guess I'm trying to say HAVE A GOOD DAY AND WISH US LUCK WITH THEM BOBCATS.

Minnie:

Salutations!

Yesterday was the first day the pool was freezing but it was 6 pm. So probably about 3 it would be warm. So, we jumped in the pool, then went in the hot tub,and then got changed.

Me and Twinkle have been sleeping in the guest room because our room has the fort in it and I want to do a puppet show. The guest room is freezing now. Today I woke up really cold. And today I woke up and I realized I couldn't move my arm because it was frozen! And so I got up and it was 7am.
That's it.
See you later!

Well, not really see. Write later.
