The PURRRRFECT Cat

 I have wanted the girls to have a kitten that they could love and play with.  Kristen will not have anything to do with the girls.  Emily has prayed and prayed to have a kitten to love.  I think we got one!
Emily yelled for me to come see "something cute!"  I found Frisco pinned down in a doll highchair eating Kitten Chow.  I feel like Sarah Kate is SOOOO rough with him, but he seems okay with it.  He purrs during it all.  I always thought purring was a sign of a happy cat.  Although SK nearly squeezes him to death and he closes his eye he still purrs. I read a couple of weeks ago on the internet that cats often purr as they are dying or are in great pain.  This explains a lot!!!!!

lol - I thought purring was good too! Whoops! The girls look very happy and he seems like he could care less about the high chair! Looks like something my Sofia would do for sure!

I always thought purring was good too. It looks like he is patient at least :)

If this makes you feel any better, we got our outdoor cat as a kitten and my kids did the same thing as your girls. I'm talking wheelbarrow rides, rides down the hill on a skateboard and many many clothes put on him. He's 3 years old now and loves my kids so much. He follows them around the yard like a dog would and is just the best cat I could ever imagine for my kids.

Maybe the Internet was wrong about the purring. Hope so. :)

I sincerely hope you are teaching SK to be respectful and gentle with animals! This is one way children get bit. Animals have a heartbeat, too.

my sister did the same thing to our cat when she was little - just two or three years old. that cat was so calm, she rode around in the baby buggy, wore bonnets, was carried around by her neck (eek!) by my sister.

i'm glad your girls found the perfect kitten. isn't it sad that they have to grow up (the cat and the girls!)

I'm sure the cat is purring with contentment. Cats definitely know how to protect themselves! She seems like a real sweetheart!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
