Ever since the passing of our dog Jack http://imaginationcreations.blogstream.com/v1/pid/315253.html#TP, Faline, our wild cat has become incredibly affectionate and tame. She already was somewhat tame, but now, much to the delight of the girlies, she can't seem to get enough of us.

While outside, every step we take, she races in front of us, turns sideways, and stops. I can't tell you how many times I've nearly fallen flat on my face for this silent cat zooming in front of me. Yesterday, I took the girls on a shopping spree. They have both collected plenty of cash from gifts and we decided to go spend some of it. One of the things Madeline bought (at Michaels), was a craft kit to decorate a pet bowl. Today it was decorated. She shared with Tara and they both came up with this beautiful work of art.

This is Madeline's half. It's so beautifully colorful...

And this is Tara's...

I love this detail of "Faline" Tara painted. The head and body are her thumb prints .

I need to let you know something important. The reason Tara's tooth was so snaggled out, was because I tried to pull it too early. It was not ready. After that, she no longer trusted me and told me those very words.

This time, for the first time, Tara left the tooth fairy a letter and asked her very specific questions. She wanted to know her name, if there was more than one tooth fairy, and also asked where she lived. I did finally get her tooth out yesterday. It was hanging by a tiny thread of skin and easily came right out. When she woke up this morning, she had received a letter from the tooth fairy yet again.  You may remember the last visit? http://imaginationcreations.blogstream.com/v1/pid/315904.html#TP.

Thank you tooth fairy for the sprinkling of magical fairy dust on me. I'm so happy my baby trusts me again .

And she still won't let me pull it.

Look who came to visit us last night. They started out in my flower garden. This is the first time I've ever seen deer in my flower garden. They stayed and played on our front lawn for quite a while. I just love the fawns. They are so cute and spunky.

Well hello!

It's kinda hard to tell, but in this picture mommy is nursing her baby .

A reassuring kiss

And I think this baby looks like a puppy with her head cocked like that. Such big ears!

Thanks for visiting babies. Come back soon!

She took these shots of Madeline and I. It's so weird to be in front of the camera. I'm always behind the lens. Here's baby and I though. Yes I know, I'm not very tan, as this summer has been really funky cold and we have not been able to swim much. We get a few warm days, just enough to warm the pool into the 80's, and then it's cold with 50 degree nights.

Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July.

And here are some garden stakes the girlies made today out of old mustard bottles and black electrical tape. How cute are these?

Here's Tara's...

And here's Madeline's. She named hers "Black Yellow". Gotta love the simplicity of a child .
