Oopsie, Girls…..

Friday morning, the girls woke me at the usual time, in their usual way — 6:30 am on the button they started taking turns coming up behind me, reaching their chins across my cheek, stretching to get little kisses in – then each one runs down to the door to wait while the next one goes through the ritual – when the third is done and I am not sitting up, they start all over again!!!! I usually lay there pretending to sleep so that all three go through the ritual at least 3 times……….I’m a meanie……….but, I love the ritual and want to make it last!!!! ha-ha

This Friday, when I got up, they raced to the back door and I followed sleepily………..I opened the door for them and they raced out — all exactly the way the morning goes every single morning — with one exception:::::: That morning, the minute they rushed out, they all hit the deck and simultaneously – like a perfectly choreographed routine – slipped causing their back legs to go out from under them and they all landed on their butts at the exact same time and in the exact same direction!!!!! My eyes widened and as they scrambled to get back on their feet and continue out to the yard, I said, “um, look out, the deck might be a little slick…”!!!! ha-ha-ha!!!! (don’t worry, they weren’t hurt and they slowed down after that and took the steps carefully – once I knew that, it was OK to think it was funny)

Where is the video camera when you need it????? That would have been an AFV grand prize winner, for sure!!!
