Bread Amazement

You know you make your own bread a little bit TOO much when you go to Walmart and buy a loaf of sandwich bread and the kids both get SUPER excited about it. Then when the boy excitedly says: "Oh, mom can I eat some right when we get home? It looks delicious!" And then as he is carrying the bread to the buggy to put it in and is examining it he stares at it in amazement and practically yells in wonder: "Mom, mom it's already sliced. The bread is already sliced IN the bag! How did they get it already sliced IN the bag??!!? Do you see this, the bread comes ALREADY SLICED!!"

We are in the middle of Walmart and the boy is having an fit of excitement about Sliced Bread.  And yes, people were staring and laughing. There was no hiding that one. I did add the clarifying "When we make it at home, we have to slice it.." But no really, people just flat out thought we were nuts because "the bread comes already sliced in the bag."

And for something completely different:

What could be sadder than:

A sick and sneezy kitten??

2 sick and sneezy kittens!!!


Both Jinx and Squirtle (yes, Squirrel has been renamed to a Pokemon's name.. ) are sad and pathetically sick and sneezy and on antibiotics now. Although they are both super sickeningly cute as they curl up together on someone's (read: my) lap and snuggle to get pets.

A Formal Introduction

It's time for a formal introduction to the 2 newest members of our family.

Meet Squirrel or Squirtle as his name is slowly becoming:

He is about 16 weeks old now. He's the super fuzziest, loviest fellow. He runs and dives into people's laps for love. Literally dives from about 5 foot away. He has recently found his feisty.


And now Jinx. He is our Christmas kitten. There was a brief intro in the previous post, but who doesn't need more pictures now that we've plumped him up a bit and he's settling in so nicely?? He's about 12 weeks old. And yes, while there is an age difference the 2 are the same size. Jinx is gonna be HUGE.

And this is what happens when you put 2 kittens together with a scratch post:

Jinx dangles his long (really, freakishly long) tail down, wiggles it and Squirrel chases it as he climbs the cat toy like a coconut tree. This can go on for HOURS. Really, it does - I *might* have been helping it along with a cat nip mouse on a string.
