We adopted Red Rose Bud King a couple of weeks ago.When we went to pick her up, I asked the boys what we should name her. Brett suggested Rose Bud, from a dog in the Disney Buddy Dog series of movies. Seane preferred Red- so she became Red Rose Bud King. She learning to come to Red and Rose. She is another basset hound with big long ears. Pepper and Daisy have welcomed her into the family. 
On Saturday, we took the boys to their first Mudcats game. The Mudcats are a double AA minor league team. Their stadium is about half way between our house and where Seane is working right now, so we were able to met him after work.
The boys were looking forward to meeting Muddy- the catfish mascot. They no longer have any fear of these dressed characters. When Brett did meet Muddy- he asked if he was real. Muddy responded by shaking his head. Then Brett, always thinking, asked Muddy why he doesn't talk. Muddy's handler responded by telling Brett it is because catfish don't talk. He was satisfied with that answer.
We did face an 1 hour and 30 minute rain delay. We watched as the grounds crew struggled to put on the trap in the 40mph winds. Even Muddy got in on the action. I tried to talk to Brett about watching them work as team to get the trap to stay down. We also killed some time eating- chicken fingers, fries, and some dip and dots ice cream. 
Next, Breandan wants to go back on a Fireworks night. We didn't leave till almost 11- both boys stayed awake the entire time. The game went into extra innings and although we lost the game- everyone had a great time. 
The Stars Wars bug has recently bit our household. We've been watching a lot of the Star Wars the Clone Wars- it is a cartoon with some of the movie characters. (sorry for the bad picture- i took it with my phone).
They boys and Seane have light sabers-- it is really fun to see them all play with each other. It is normally the boys against Seane.
MomMom and PopPop gave the boys Star Wars shirts and underwear. It has been hard to get them off and in the wash.
Here's a drawing Brett did of Anakin Skywalker. Notice his light saber. Brett has the Anakin light saber, which is of course blue.
