Fox or Baby Coyote?

Another great morning until I reached the Chalkville Mountain Road exit on 59.  Seriously folks lets learn how to merge and make this area of the interstate run smoothly.  Anyway, that is all for that soapbox for now.  We still made it on time so for that I am seriously thankful.
The boys had a great day at school.  Danny is so excited to have an Alabama History project.  He wants to do it on Springville, so this should be a lot of fun.  After school care was great, I am seriously having the best time and I think I am learning as much for the kids as they do from me, well as I hope that they do from me. 
We got home and Brandon was cooking dinner.  He got off early to try to deal with some of the warranty people who were supposed to come.  The door guys canceled which is irritating and the cabinet guys who were supposed to be replacing just patched where it was busted.  Seriously we were told we were getting a new cabinet and drawer.  I am so not happy with DR Horton.  For so many reasons.  I am going to get my letters written ASAP and sent out, they will probably go to an attorney too in the case that I need to take these issues even further. 
The boys spent some time riding their bikes and taking pictures of paw prints that they found in the empty lots.  I love that they make everything an adventure.
There was a little animal that came out earlier, I am not sure if it was a baby coyote or if it was a fox but it was cute.  At least from a distance in the dark.  It had a pretty long tail if that helps anyone. 
Well, I have homework done at least for tonight and I am off to bed now that it is tomorrow morning.  Oh well, I am getting progress made I guess.

Storage and Prints

So today Uncle Patrick was off so he offered to help Brandon at the storage.  Mom has three of them and we need to get them emptied.  They managed to get one completely gone through.  Needless to say mom has a lot of boxes to go through in the garage.  Thank you so much Uncle Patrick for again offering to help on your off day.  We love you and really appreciate everything that you do for us.
I worked on some more of our boxes, the reproduction rate seems to be increasing so I have to start working faster!  I have already gotten rid of a lot more and I am sure that this is a trend that will continue.
The boys and I found some paw prints!  There seems to be a lot of opinion about what they are but our neighbor knows a Game Warden so he asked him.  He said that it is from a large Bobcat, the trail of prints it is pads only and then the one where the claws are visable the guy said something must have scared it or it got ready to attack.  He also said that it was large and that if Mountain Lions lived in Alabama that would be it's print but since they do not it is a Bobcat.  Now my unlce has a friend who killed a Mountain Lion in Locust Fork, so who know if they are here or not.  I think it is awesome to live with so many wild animals close by.  Just hope I can get some pictures of them!
