Deer in the Headlights

So it was a warmer day today, maybe in the 30's. The snow is melting, and apparently all the deer have come out of hiding. I'm fascinated with the deer. People here think I'm crazy. They're like "haven't you ever seen a deer before?" Well, yes, I have, but not in groups of 5 or more. I just think they're so cute and want one as a pet. Just kidding but I would like to pet one. Anyway, as I was driving to Young Women's tonight, I saw a group of deer. They kept coming out of the woods. I kept counting: 4, 5, 6, 7! 7 deer! I just sat and watched them. (until somebody came up behind me) I had my camera so I decided to pull over and take their picture. They ended up in the intramural field. I couldn't get a great picture because the fence was blocking my view. Am I crazy to be fascinated with the deer? Does anyone else feel this way?
Aren't they cute? Sometimes they'd look up at me. Were they wondering why I was taking their picture?
The reason I happened to have my camera was because we were making this Candy bar card for Holly. Her surgery went well and she is home now but has to be on crutches for at least 6 weeks. Here is what the card says:

Hey Sweetart! The 3 Musketeers were Rolo down the Mounds of Ice Cubes and tried some Twix and hit a Sour Patch. Your Whatchamacallit fell into Pieces and you heard a Crunch. The Lifesavers came on the Winterfresh day. Hopefully your surgeons weren't Nerds and didn't have Butterfingers. Hopefully your Sugar Daddy will have money left after Payday. Thank goodness it was a Fast Break. We can't wait to hear your Snickers. Take 5! Love the Young Women

We had lots of fun making it.
Another random picture for the day. I washed the girls sheets today and when I was making Brooke's bed, Charlotte decided to try and make her bed too. I thought it was so cute and had to take a picture.

That is so cool about the deer. Very neat. Charlotte is getting so big...trying to make her own bed. She needs to come train my kids. Very clever candy bar poster.

That was a lot of deer to see all at once. The candy bar get well card was very cute. Very creative. Did the young women help write it?

I forgot to mention that after I saw the 7 deer, I saw 4 more in another part of the woods. So 11 in all! And yes Melanie, we all worked on the candy bar card together. Although, it was just me, Carlie, and Zaida.

love the pics...the family pic is a really good one. By the way, Kent would be fascinated with all the deer...and wishing he had his shotgun! He actually shot a deer this year...it's all wrapped up in my freezer! ;) By the way i'm against deer hunting, of course unless we were in a state of starvation. Hope everything is going good for you guys. Take care!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!
