We seem to have a new pet!!!





Hey!  Well, today I took the kids (my 2, the 3 neighbors, and a friend) on a walk around the neighborhood.  They were all excited and ready with their water bottles and sacks (for whatever "treasures" they might find....) so we set off to walk.  As we made our way around the outer loop, we encountered our neighborhood peacock!  We stopped and looked, and the kids ran all around it... then we proceeded on our walk.  Well, apparently the peacock wanted to walk too!  It followed us all the way around the loop, and down Ann Arbor to the school!  We must of been quite a sight, 7 kids, 1 adult, and 1 peacock!  Cars were stopping and waving, and everyone who passed us smiled!  it was a hilarious sight!  Well, we turned around to walk home, and the peacock continues to follow us!  I think it got a couple of stickers in its feet, because it slowed down and we continued without it.  So, we ate lunch, and then all went out back to play.  Suddenly, we notice the darn peacock is at our back gate!!!  It then flies onto our neighbors roof, where it stays while we swim.  Then, we head back to our house, and soon the peacock is in our backyard!  Apparently, it thinks we are its new family!  As i write now, the peacock is laying down RIGHT outside of our back door!!  crazy!  We are thinking of names.... maybe Bobby, maybe Heather...  but we don't know if it is a girl or boy.... hmmmmmm... could be a problem.......
