How Hard Is It to NOT Knock Over Plants, Really?

Keeping succulents healthy on Moore Street is difficult because the house does not get a lot of light. A while back I figured out I could get succulents a pretty good amount of light by placing them in the downstairs bathroom window in the morning...

...and then moving them to the kitchen window in the afternoon. Note: the picture below was taken in the morning and is for demonstration purposes only.

For some reason, nobody but me can grasp this and I am constantly moving the plants back and forth. What's even more troubling is that Alice, Eleanor, and their mother, routinely knock over the plants. I was in the house this morning and I noticed that both of these plants had been knocked over very recently. 

The plant on the left is new. Eleanor bought it for me at the street fair last Saturday. The girls' mother knocked it over two days ago. I had this great exchange with Eleanor via text:

E: "The reason there is dirt [in the bathroom] is Alice knocked over Gladys 2 And the other one, the new one was knocked over by mom but she won't admit it"

Me to Me: "Christ on a bike! How fucking hard is it to NOT knock over a plant!?!?"

Me to E: "Don't talk like that about your mom."

E: "Okay sorry"

Me: "I think 'Bon Jovi' would be a great name for a cat."

E: "wow"

Zukkenny

Our team has a mascot. Here we are posing with him.

Our mascot is a zucchini. Eleanor named him Zukkenny. I cannot even speak his name without laughing.

There's been a change in the weather and Zukkenny wears a beanie to keep warm. I took this picture two days ago. I'm sitting in the living writing this post and Zukkenny hasn't left his perch.

Jumpy Judge

As we were walking to school today Alice made a game of walking on the walls that border many of the yards along our route. When she encountered a gap, Alice would jump it.

She failed miserably on one jump and I commented that the jump was terrible. I thought she was ignoring me until she got to the next gap. As she approached the gap she said "If that was terrible, watch this." She made the jump and without looking at me and using a voice that sounded much more like a 30-year old than a 10-year old she said "How was that, Mr. Jumpy Judge Man?"
