1-30, Foxy Lady

So wrong, but so funny.  Thursday afternoon when Emalie and I were watching Nikolas walk up the street from the school bus, we saw the strangest thing.  There were two foxes running around in circles  chasing each other across lawns and the street.  At one point, one of the foxes ran straight toward the group of kids.  I was yelling out the window for Nikolas to 'leave it alone' and another dad was shouting the same thing as he was walking towards them.  It was crazy.  It was like the foxes were on speed.  After Nikolas came into the house, I looked out a side window and saw a fox running up the neighbor's driveway and around the side of his house.  Bizarre.  

Anyway, that's the background that leads up to these photos.  We had foxes on the brain.  Nikolas had been wearing his hat and was putting it away in the coat closet (actually, this whole blog post should be devoted to how HAPPY I was that he was putting something...anything...away!!).  Emalie was getting upset because she wanted his hat.  As a substitute, he handed her this faux-fur zip-off hood for his jacket.  She looked at him like "What am I supposed to do with this?".  He was trying to put it on her but failing.  I laughed and said, "You should stick in her pants like a tail!" HA HA HA.  Yes, so I was an accomplice.  I could have pretended that this was all Nik's idea-- that darn integrity thing.  LOL.  Anyway, Emalie thought it was great and strutted around the house for a good half hour wearing her 'tail'.  Yep, our little 'foxy lady'!
