Run Away!

Spencer ran over a nest of baby bunnies last week with the lawn mower. Luckily none of the babies were hurt, probably just their pride. Yesterday we decided that they were big enough to be taken to a nice new home with lots of space and clover to eat. Wasn't that nice of us? We decided to take some pictures because it was very cute to see the kids holding the bunnies on last time before letting them set off on their own in the big world.

Spencer was the biggest kid of all. He really, really, really, really wanted to keep one of the bunnies for a pet. Ha. Just in case we didn't have enough "things" to take care of. Corbin thought that his bunny was the cutest. Miles decided that his bunny was cuter than Corbin's bunny. Ella-marie said that hers was the mostest cutest princess bunny in the whole world.

And Hunter couldn't figure out why the bunny would start squeaking frantically when he would squeeze just a mite too hard.When it was finally time to let them go, three bunnies made of like a shot for the woods and relative safety found there. Two of the others learned a hard lesson...if you don't run away fast enough...those crazy children pick you up again....and if you don't run away fast enough again...they pick you up again...etc, etc, etc.

Run away! Run away!

We're so excited!

In honor of Grandpa Johnson coming to visit in a few weeks, Corbin and Ella-marie decided that they wanted to bask in the sunlight in our living room. For everyone who understands, this is a very funny picture.

Beans, Beans, A Magical Fruit...

...the more you eat them, the more you want to plant more!

Saturday was an exciting day in the Finch household. It was finally time to plant the garden! Spencer and I can't decide whether it's easier having more helping hands, or exponentially harder. I guess Hunter definately was a liability, but Corbin, Miles and Ella-marie did a great job! Here we are after planting the twelve tomatoes and six rows of green beans.

Michelle and Ryan, these are for you...Miles is planting the Peruvian beans, Corbin is planting the Colombian beans, and Ella-marie and I are planting the Brazilian beans. Spencer took care of the hot peppers. And Hunter is digging up the cucumbers that Spencer also had just planted. One step forward, two steps back...

Hunter was quite a mess after we were done. This picture was taken even after he had wiped his face with his hands. Before it had looked like he had brown boogers coming out of his nose. And also note the brown socks...really, they are white. Well, at least I hope they will be white again after I wash them.
