Outdoor Drama

Josh apparently didn't learn his lesson the first time, and yesterday he climbed back into the baby swing while I sitting on the ground about three feet away taking pictures. I warned him about what happened last weekend, but he went ahead with his plans. Here's how he gets in the swing:
This set off all-out wailing from Molly, who was very upset that Josh was getting into her swing.
And once again, Josh wasn't too happy about being photographed before I helped him out of the swing. It certainly makes for a funny picture, though!

Things got much calmer when everyone went their separate ways and didn't infringe on each other's backyard territories. Josh has taken an interest in our local insects. He likes to measure roly-polies with Chris' tape measure, and he hunts mosquitoes with big sticks. Here he is doing his part to keep the backyard pest-free.
Molly continues to love anything that has to do with plants and animals, and she really likes playing in the red clay we've dug up during various projects in the yard this spring.
Here she is in her swing, happy now that all is right with the world.
And just for fun, here's a little bunny that we found on our front doorstep this morning. I'm sure it had the life nearly scared out of it when Josh tried to pick it up and Molly started shrieking in delight, but it's still hanging around this afternoon. A vet advised us that the bunny probably just wandered from the nest and the mother will come back for it this evening. Let's hope so, because it's been hard keeping the cat inside all day and Josh and Molly away from it.
