Fall is Surely Here!

Grandmom and Grandpop took Bobby to visit Storybook Land over the weekend. The weather was beautiful and the whole park was decorated for Fall and Halloween. The colors of the flowers and decorations were beautiful! Bobby got to decorate and bring home his own little pumpkin. And, of course, ride the rides - some of them twice!

Kitten Toys!

Everything is a toy to a kitten! Bobby was trying whole-heartedly to get his shoes tied this morning so we could get on our way, and Luna had a different idea entirely! Kittens see everything as an adventure, and this was too good to pass up!

Luna and Molly have finally become friends, and occasionally Molly gets down to Luna's kitten-level and plays like a kitten too! It's cute!

So on our way out the door this morning, we fould Luna laying against the door trying to keep us in! I'm sure she'll find something to occupy herself today without us!

Yes, we're crazy!

Sooooo, Friday after spending time with his cousins, Jim came home and said he found us a kitten. A KITTEN! I could hardly believe my ears! We had casually talked about getting Molly a companion for the daytimes when we're all at work and the house is empty, but we weren't really serious. Hmmm. So, Saturday we went to get "Luna".

Luna was found with her brother and sister in a drainage ditch that was filling up with water. The mommy kitty was nowhere to be found and Jim's cousin bottle fed all three until they were weaned. Luna has a stubby tail, which we're not sure if by accident or birth defect. If by defect, she could be a Manx cat. The jury's out on that. In the meantime, Molly's not too sure. She was VERY unhappy the first day, then just mostly unhappy the second day. By this morning they could be found in the same room together, but still not getting along. We'll see how this works out. If it doesn't work, Luna goes back to the farm to be with her siblings and Molly gets her house back and our little experiment bombs.

Stay tuned for what will probably be many updates...

Swimming Lessons

Bobby began taking formal swimming lessons at the local YMCA last night. He really enjoyed it and did everything the instructor told him to do (that may not last long!).

He can't wait until next week!

A New School Year is Upon Us!

Second Grade for Bobby - Here's how his day started...

Breakfast to fill his belly (ok, it's a Pop Tart, but the milk is real!)





















He's on his way...









The obligatory "In Front of the Building" picture!
















And signing in at Latchkey. After that, I couldn't keep track of which friends he was talking to - and he waved me on my way.
Hmmm.

'Twas the night before Second Grade....

Bobby is entering Second Grade this year, and he couldn't be more excited!!! After a power shower, tooth brushing (even the loose one!) and hug for Snoopy, he's all ready for a good night's sleep.

Last Trip to the Beach

We had one last "hurrah" before school started and took a day at the beach with Aunt Karen and John. The weather wasn't that good, but the boys had fun regardless.

And what trip would be complete without the corny pictures at the boardwalk...?
