Lillian's Really Odd Cheetah Report

Lillian had to write an endangered species report for her GT class and had to supplement that report with a visual of some sort. She decided she wanted to make her visual aid a filmed "Cheetah Safari." She also insisted the characters in this movie be stark white, undecorated folded paper faces... go figure.

She had to make this during the same evening Cooper was tied up at baseball, so I had the honor of being her surreal paper-faced costar.

"Cooper is sweet.  While I was talking with you he got Max some bandaids and put them on his hands where he fell.  He even got him some character ones. Now they are putting a dead lizard in a jar :)"

"I have got to look up how to build a worm farm. Max is ELATED that I found a bunch while digging up weeds near the dog lot and in the depths of despair that they are crawling away"

"Our son."

Text from Robin #4

"So, I'm in the bathroom figuring out how I'm going to get toilet paper since the kids used it all and hear a crash.  Georgia broke my water glass all over the floor.  Max is attacking Cooper upstairs.  I really am very glad you could get away.  It can be a nut house!"

Text from Robin #3

"Cooper's take on relationships, 'you have to feel the 'zing' more than once.'--why?--"because your wife might ditch you so you've got to feel it again."  -- he's planning ahead."

Text From Robin #2

"Bad news: max pooped in the bath.  Good news: He's learning his letters.  He said it looked like an 'M'.  I personally didn't see  that shape, but whatever works."

I was out of town all weekend. The next several posts are going to be text messages Robin sent to me while I was away. It's a charming window into our Norman Rockwell-ish lives. Here's the first one:

"This is what Cooper wants to wear to Jake's party. Instead I am encouraging his baseball uniform."
