We have success.

Things to do:

1. Potty Train Britton - DONE!

Pasco Summer Music Program

For the past six weeks the girls have been practicing twirling,

and marching,
singing,
and dancing,

for today's performances.


Kenley was groovy
&
Elizabeth was Rad.

Britton was bored.

Simplification project #1

I didn't feel right about displaying this in my home,

and having a DVD collection that looked like this.

So, we did this.
Much better.

Half way through the project Kenley said,

"Shouldn't we be alphabetizing these movies?"

(See Red Fury in the case? It's a family joke. My children find that the most

uninteresting movie on the planet. Whenever they ask for a movie

I say something like, "You can watch Red Fury or play outside."

They go outside.

In an effort to get the kittens a home I placed an AD on Craig's List. I was really, REALLY nervous to do this. We've been the home of these sweet little ones for the past several weeks and there's just something about watching them grow that has made me all motherly towards them. The thought of someone I didn't know coming to take them away was more than I could handle.

The first E-Mail came in. I analyzed the name.

RICK.

I thought back to all the Rick's I have ever known. He wanted a specific kitten. THAT one and THAT one ONLY he said. It just didn't feel right.

No thank you RICK!

There were a few more e-mails and inquiries.

I called one lady who had left her number and she said that she and her 15 year old daughter were looking for a kitten and could they come over and hold them, just to see if the vibes were right.

As they were walking into our garage the 15 year old girl gasped and picked up a kitten and excitedly informed her mom that she had found "THE ONE". Her mom said that they she had held a lot of kittens that day and none of them were "RIGHT." I felt a little heart palpitation. Seriously, she had fallen instantly in love with the kitten. She picked him up and he just melted into her. He had fallen too.

This is what I wanted. There was no doubt in my mind that this little kitten was going to be loved.

GIVEAWAY!!!

Dear Sweet Kitties,

It's been fun having you here for the last several weeks,

but it's time for you to find a new home. We'll make sure it's

a home with lots of love and a fun yard to explore.

It's time for these little ones to find a new home.

If you are interested please leave me a comment and we'll deliver one to you,

wrapped up like a gift if you like. They are really sweet and, as you can

see, absolutely ADORABLE!!

Mud

Two little boys who were supposed

to be playing in the water.. ended up looking like this.

I took a deep breath

and then cleaned them up.

EWWWW!!

The planter by my back door

Move in closer.

Nasty, scary SNAKE!!!

The incentive I offered Dallin to remove the reptile from planter.

He probably would have done it anyway,

but I was desperate.

I'm not a reptile lover.
