Bubbie (Permanent name TBD)


We have a new addition! A barn cat that has lived in the neighborhood since we moved here had a litter of kittens this spring. One kitten got closed up in our garage one evening and when we let it out the next day the momma cat never came to retrieve it. So, after a day of its pitiful meowing, I went and bought it some food. It immediately ate the dry food, so I guess it was old enough to leave its mom.

Carter has always been allergic to cats (sneezing, itchy red eyes), but he was the most excited about having a pet. He has done very well about washing his hands after petting her, so I think it will be fine if we keep the kitten outside.

Graham LOVES this kitten...poor kitten. He chases her around and will grab ahold if given half a chance. The kitten on the other hand, loves Hunter and Jason. He chases them around, pouncing at the slightest movement. Hunter is tickled, and Jason acts like the cat is a pain....until no on is around. I've caught him playing with it and it snuggling in his lap when he thinks no one is looking. :-)

We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me. Then I got a stick, opened up all the doors and yelled at him to try to scare him out. He just ran behind the seat and hid in the back. When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
