OUR HANDSOME LAD!

OUR SWEET BUCKAROO WENT IN FOR A HAIRCUT THE OTHER DAY. HE WAS NOT TOO HAPPY WHEN I PICKED HIM UP ALMOST AS IF TO SAY - YOU JERK, I AM GOING TO IGNORE YOU FOR LEAVING ME OR SO THAT IS HOW I FELT! HAAAA :) ANYWAYS OUR DOGGY WENT FROM SCRAPPY COCO - TO MR. GQ

CIRCUS DRAMA WITH THE FAMILY!

THIS WAS OUR FIRST AND PROBABLY OUR LAST TIME TO EVER GO TO THE CIRCUS! THE CIRCUS OF THE STARS WAS COMING TO OUR SMALL TOWN AND I THOUGH WHAT A FUN THING TO DO WITH THE FAMILY AND THE GIRLS! IT ALL BEGAN WITH US WALKING TO GET COTTON CANDY AND THEN OF COURSE MEGAN SPOTTED A CLOWN - AAAAUUUGGGHHH! AFTER MUCH PERSUADING AND UNCLE EDDIE TO THE RESCUE OF SAYING HE WOULD PROTECT HER FROM ANY CLOWN - SHE DECIDED TO GO IN. WE FOUND OUR SEATS INSIDE THE HOT - AND I DO MEAN HOT TENT AND STARTED GETTING READY FOR THE SHOW. WELL JULIA IS A LITTLE SENSITIVE WITH SOUNDS AND OF COURSE THE FIRST ACT WAS THE MOTORCYCLE BALL OF DEATH WITH THREE "LOUD" MOTORCYCLES. MEANWHILE MEGAN SPOTTED SOME MIDGET CLOWNS UP AND DOWN THE ISLES - OK SO THAT DID IT - WE LASTED 20 MINUTES AND LEFT. THAT WAS THE QUICKEST CIRCUS I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!!! ACTUALLY IT WAS QUITE FUNNY, SO NO MORE CIRCUSES FOR THE BLOOM GIRLS AT LEAST NOT FOR A WHILE!

IT'S A GATOR KIND OF DAY!

GO GATORS-BEAT TROY!

NEIGHBORHOOD VISITOR!

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE DAY - THIS LITTLE ARMADILLO WAS JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I DECIDED TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR AND TAKE HIS PICTURE. HE STOPPED FOR A SECOND AS IF TO POSE FOR ME AND THEN KEPT ON HIS LITTLE TROT! IT WAS HYSTERICAL.
