We've Been Forked!

This is what we found on our lawn this morning--a virtual garden of plastic forks and knives!  We aren't sure who or why but the cats sure had a good time investigating. At first I thought some kind of plants had popped up overnight ready to bloom for spring, and I was close!  I smiled all the way down to the mailbox when I realized.

I was telling Paula about this article I found on CNN about the differences between how men and women think.  Although I've seen several similar articles, I thought this one did a great job of using specific examples to demonstrate the differences.  For example, men tend to have a "protect the turf" kind of instinct than women.  It applies here because I'm thinking this is a cute little stunt probably by some of Ryan's (female--look how neatly they are arranged) classmates.  Jim is leaning more toward someone insulting him and isn't tickled that his turf has been violated.  I guess we will find out eventually but until then, I still think it's kind of fun.


Happy birthday this week to Tim and to Sophie.  It looks like Ryan P pitched last night, although the game didn't go your way.  We are watching you in the papers!

That is forking AWESOME! What a great gag without damaging anything. I would have smiled too. Of course, now you have to go out and pick them all up before any lawn mowing can happen...

When I think about how who ever did this must have laughed while doing it - I have to smile. They did it over night? Even funnier.

I hope it isn't a "put a fork in him, he's done" expression on Jim. I much perfer to think Ryan's friends have really "put cake in his eye". Enjoy the clean up... and revenge.
