Thank you Aunt Brandi!




Over a year ago, at my baby shower for Case, Brandi got Case a pottery barn kids gift card. I didn't have any idea what to get with it, so I just kept it and every now and again, I would go to their website and check out what they had.. well, I finally found the cutest thing! A Dr. Suess Bath Towel, completely coustomized with Cases' name... its super duper cute!




So, after giving Case a bath this afternoon, I wrapped him up and Eric took a picture!




Case and his kitty

Cases' nanny, Rosemary gave us 3 kittens right at the end of the school year. I intended them to be barn cats and stay at the barn. They did really well there for the first 3 weeks we had them. Now, all 3 (still around) think they are garage cats and stay at the house. They are so cute, each with a very different personality. We haven't named them yet, we were waiting to see if they would last, but I do think their names will be arriving shortly...



The biggest kitty, who we have yet to name (I'll leave that to you readers) is surely the hunter of the group likes to pounce and play.. and pick on the other cats. She is not the lovey of the group, but leaves that to her sister below...





This is the worthless cat. In Erics' words, " she is worthless. she likes anything with a pulse, and if a coyote walked up to her, she'd probably kiss it" While, she may be worthless and rather annoying because she follows you everywhere and meows... alot.. she is Cases' buddy. She lets him pet her, and grab her tail and pick her up and toss around. She also is Clydes' pal. Clyde is our Jack Russell for those of you who don't know. She basically thinks she is a dog and its really funny. She even wags her tail. She too, needs a name, although Case calls her "Lights" which really isn't anythign special since he thinks everything is a light.




The smallest kitty, a male who was the runt of the litter, still is the smallest but he always has the fullest belly. I don't have a picture of him, but he is a klutz. Not related to the other kittens, he is skinyn and gray, with a white nose and small white socks. Right after we got him, he dislocated his shoulder and wouldn't walk on his front leg. now, he is healed up, and doing well...

but, all the cats need names!!!

Eric tested, OSHA NOT-approved




Erics' goal is to get the upstairs finished (as in, completely sheetrocked) by the end of today, and I must say, he is probably gonna make it... yay!!

On another note, Eric is the poster child for lack of safety.. this coming from a shop teacher, I am going to say that I know...

Examples below:


- no safety glasses (ever) when using machinery, equipment, nail guns, staple guns, sawing, ect.



- standing on ladders placed strategically on TOP of 6 ft high scaffolding



- walking around on the roof outside, gun in hand shooting at coyotes and roadrunners

I know he knows what he is doing, its just unnerving to see sometimes. Maybe I should just leave and go to town when he is working on the house.. or go play with Case for awhile..
