New Kitten!

Back in December my oldest talked me into taking her to the Humaine Society. All the way there I reminded her that we were not bringing anyone home with us. As we got out of the car I reminded her that we were not bringing anyone home with us. As she sat in the kitten play room I reminded her that we were not bringing anyone home with us.

Also as she sat in the kitten play room the cutest, sweetest, little black kitten kept curling up on her lap and purring just as loudly as he could. He would jump down and eat, then curl back up on her lap again. A few minutes later he would jump down and use the litter box, then jump back up. Then another few minutes later he would jump down and play, then jump back up. Basically he was showing us that he was absolutely the most perfect kitten ever!

Of course, we had to bring him home. We knew Serafina (our two year old cat) would hate him, but she hates all cats. We were hoping, however, that our two one year old cats would accept him. Well, accept him they have! The three of them are buddies! They curl up an sleep together when we are not holding the kitten.

Big Goals

My youngest is 10 and in Girl Scouts. She and her two friends (also homeschoolers) have decided that they will each sell 1,000 boxes of cookies and they are doing it together - which means that they are selling 3,000 boxes!

They are wanting to go to Washington D.C. in June to attend the 95th birthday celebration. Since Washington D.C. is about 3000 miles from here we picked up a US map today so they can track their progress - 1 box = 1 mile. They've sold about 600 boxes so far - 600 miles - they've just passed Boise, ID and are almost to Twin Falls.

They are also trying to get at least 500 boxes donated to the food bank. They've gotten over 100 boxes donated so far - so I think they are doing GREAT!

They've been taking orders since Jan. 6. They get their cookies Feb. 9 and then the race will really be on! At that point we will be living and breathing cookies!
