Morning Glory

The only thing better than a morning cuddle with Tiger the cat........
...is when your mama makes freshly baked blueberry muffins for your breakfast. On a school day. Just because you are her favorite boy.
But before you type up that, "oh, how sweet" comment, please note the fact that when JT saw the strawberries on his plate he said, "What is this, some kind of poison?"

Apparently, we don't share the same commitment to adding fruits to our diet.

Slumber Party

J.T.'s buddy D spent the night last night. I made peanut butter cookies as a treat and they gobbled them up while they were still warm from the oven. All evening long I could hear them laughing upstairs. There was plenty of partying...........not so much with the slumbering as they were up at 7 am playing games in the playroom and generally having a big time.

Real Life Conversations with Lucy the Kitten

Because my week hasn't been hectic enough, Lucy the kitten is in heat. Her constant yowling and so forth has been a lovely distraction from the bilge in the basement. And, as was bound to happen, J.T. began to ask questions about why Lucy was so loud. So, in simple detail, I explained that Lucy's body is telling her to make a baby kitten and that we don't need any more kittens and so she cannot do that. This has led to the following conversation between Lucy and J.T.:

Lucy: "Yowl, moan, yowl, moan......."

J.T.: " There will be no babies for you, Miss Lucy. No babies!"

It's a one-man abstinence campaign worthy of the Bush Administration.
