This morning on my walk a hawk landed over on the park. It was hopping around a bit. I thought it might have something in its talons. The image is zoomed because, obviously, I’m not getting close to a hawk. They are my favorite bird, too. Once in a while there is one that perches on our roof or in one of our trees. Around my place they do have their pick of prey, too. Tons of squirrels. Maybe those ladies feeding the squirrels in the park are just fattening them up for the hawk.
On of the more fun Skylanders Giants figures has been Jet-Vac. I love his vacuum gun that can blow out bursts of air but also suck bad guys in and render them toast. You can also walk around and suck in random birds around the game. That is actually one of the quests for Jet-Vac, to suck 50 birds into the vacuum gun.
It was a nice day today so we spent a few hours cleaning up the sidewalk around the house. I swept the sand off the sidewalk and Eva helped me out as well. Allison started in on the flowerbeds and picked up many leaves while wrangling Andrew. The kids were very good while we worked.
Then it was time for the kids to get their Easter haircuts. Eva was an angel and enjoyed getting her hair cut. Andrew took some wrangling, but in the end he got his hair cut as well.
We had a quiet afternoon and watched the movie Despicable Me. Allison and I laughed pretty hard while watching it, Eva fluctuated between not liking it and then liking it. Andrew was transfixed for a bit and fairly cuddly. He must have been tired, he gets cuddly and affectionate when he is tired.
