Raccoons!

When the boy and I came downstairs this morning, I glanced out the side window that overlooks the driveway and saw a flash of something moving low to the ground. At first I thought it was a dog, although there'd been no sign of a person or leash -- most people in our neighborhood are responsible dog owners, but there's one guy who lets his two dogs walk unleashed -- and then when I went back for a second glance that maybe it had been a cat disappearing behind my car. Waited, and a raccoon appeared at the front of the car. Then another and another! Three chubby not-small raccoons!

I had to pick the boy up so he could see them (OMG he is so big and heavy, ow!) and then they went around the corner of the house, so we ran to one of the windows that overlooks the back yard and watched all of them running around. The boy hoped they'd go down his new slide, LOL.

They were cute!

Now, I need tea.
