I got ants in my pants

The kittens are officially named! It’s Sassy & Lizzy! Or, as we’ve been calling them…Sassy-poo & Lizzy-pie. I’m still not sure if we’ll keep them. I just can’t say if I’m ready yet, but the longer we keep them the harder it is to think of letting them go. Wait till I come home and the garbage is knocked over and strewn all around the floor, then I might feel differently, but for now I just love ‘em. Braden likes them too, and Kendall is CRAZY about them. She wants to hold them and carry them around like dolls all the time. They’ve had a couple of baths and now they’ve been upgraded to living in the bathroom. We’ve bought them a scratch post & toys, so they’re occupied. They’ll continue to live in the bathroom until after we get back from our beach trip. Then I’ll give myself a week or two to decide on a permanent solution, because they really need their shots & need to be fixed. Ugh, more money.

LIZZY--


I have to share this story, because it’s just too funny. Braden is your typical boy, of course. So when he & Josh are watching t.v. they always go "Ewww! Gross!" if there’s ever any kissing in a scene. Last night they were watching Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian and when the kiss came on at the end, Josh said the typical statement, "Ewww! Gross!" and Braden said, "No it’s not daddy, it’s sweet". Josh says he’s officially lost the battle…Braden’s officially all mine. Hahaha!
Alright, so I’m antsy as I could possibly be. We’re officially less than 5 days till beach time, and I can’t wait. Once more work day, three more non-work days…and then one long drive. I already scoped out places I want to eat, places we want to go play, best travel routes, I’m working on a grocery list and packing list… I can’t wait! Josh’s birthday is next Wednesday and I bought his present yesterday and all this excitement has me wondering if I’ll even be able to wait until then to give it to him! We’re taking the laptop, and I’ll probably get online at least one night while were down there (yay for free wi-fi!) and I’m going to send some envy-inducing pictures to my blog. I hope everyone has a great week, and I’ll be sure to share any new and exciting stories when we get back.

I was like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then, finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
