A Tale of Two Kitties

Actually there were 4 Kitties. 5 Counting the mom.

Yes that's right - we have cats. NOT.BY.CHOICE.

I went out into the shed last week to see what we needed to buy at Lowe's for the yard and what we had leftover from last year, and found these in Ben's old bassinet...

A mama cat with 4 kittens!!

And while Paul thinks they're good cheap target practice, and while I am allergic...

They are still PRETTY STINKIN' CUTE.

yes the kids ADORE them...but can you blame them? I mean - really...

look how tiny they are! I love how the orange one in the back looks like "HELP ME!!"

OOhhh wook at dat widdle face...

And WHERE, you may wonder, was our MASSIVE GUARD DOG when all this went down?

Don't ask....

Anybody want a kitty?...(or a useless guard dog?)

post edit: To Chloe's (the dog) credit - we were probably out of town when the whole thing happened and she could have been barking her head off the whole time, in which case, I sincerely apologize to our neighbors who had to hear that!!!

Movie Night

Paul went to Price yesterday for a 2 day S&I (CES) conference. The kids and I worked hard in the yard all day (more on that to come) and rewarded ourselves last night with dinner and a movie. This was the movie chosen - do you remember it?

My brothers and I LOVED this show when we were kids. I remember rewinding this particular scene and watching it again and again. We rehearsed the parts and learned the dance moves and jumped on and off the furniture. We even held our old-school tape recorder up to the speaker on the T.V. to record the songs so we could practice them after my mom took the movie back to the video store.

Yeah I know, we were geeks.

But we could sure rock and roll.

p.s. it's people like us that grew up and invented things like rock band and guitar hero - - - I'm just sayin'...
