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. :-)

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before.

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!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
