Filanthropy Friday

Last night I watched as our President accepted the nomination for another term.  I admit, I get swooped up in his eloquence and passion.  I'll also admit that it's easy for me to do, because I agree with him on nearly everything.

However, it's not important that we all agree on all the issues - but it is important that we all vote and have the same access to voting.  That's why all this voter identification legislation that's being passed off as "voter fraud prevention" angers me.   We should all have the same rights and when a law is created to purposefully deny rights to a certain group of people - that's discrimination, or worse. 

This week, I donated $25 to the ACLU to help defend voting rights in our country. 

Lazy Post

This evening I had a meeting/happy hour - lots of drinking for this pregnant lady.

I was away all evening - which meant Buttin and Cub spent the afternoon and evening together.  

Here are Cub and Riggs hanging out on the cold tile floor.

Wordless Wednesday

Misfit Tuesday

Yesterday, we didn't work - so no Misfit Monday.

Today, thankfully nothing too eventful at work.  This misfits were all pretty well behaved.

Here's Cub this afternoon on the way home from school.

#1 Lesson Learned From Aunt Liz

This afternoon we went over to visit Aunt Liz and Uncle Jonathan.

Cash had a great time playing in the pool and terrorizing Liz's pets, but he also did some learning. The #1 lesson learned was "If you don't want to do it, make Aunt Liz do it for you."

Here's Aunt Liz flying a kite (aka, running like a crazy person). I think it's kind of cute how Liz suggests, "Cash, let's go outside and fly this kite I bought you."   I guess she expected the no-wind, 100 degree day would provide perfect kite flying conditions.  She offered to "fly" Cash's kite for him and ran around her front yard while he followed.  I loved the look on her face when she wanted to stop and go inside and he said, "more".  I love how their jogging step for step in this picture.

Here's Aunt Liz pushing Cash around on the raft in the pool.  He loved making her do work for him.  

Time With Gigi

Yesterday Mormor and Dadoo went home, but Gigi came into town - it's been a grandparent Labor Day weekend for Cubbie!

Here's Cub telling Gigi to get on his bike.  

Here are Cub and Gigi cuddling. 

Duck Pond

This morning Cub and I went to the duck pond (Mormor and Dadoo brought us an old loaf of bread to feed the ducks).

I'm not really sure these are ducks, but Cub had fun.

The ducks (or geese) weren't very shy about wanting the bread, but they weren't aggressive.  It's obvious these duck/geese are fed frequently by people.
