Thursday & Friday

I didn't quite get around to posting any pictures from yesterday, so I've got 2 days worth today :) Yesterday was spent working on cookies for Randee's shower, but we did take a break to go play outside. We went over and saw the kitties. Eli loves playing with them...we're still working on being gentle...The kittens were living in my grandparent's trailer-it was actually a pretty good place for them-they were safe from Sam :)

They did get moved yesterday, though. Here they are in their 'travel box'.

I think Sam is Eli's favorite, though. Eli likes just following him everywhere.

He's enjoying playing with 'outdoor toys'.

Ya know...rocks and dirt and stuff...

He does keep trying to touch Sam's tongue...not good. It's a good thing Sam is so good with kids...
Today we got out early (cuz it was gonna be hot...ya know...85...sorry all you Floridians...) and were going to go over and see the kittens. As soon as Sam realized what we were doing, he went CRAZY. He was trying so hard to get to the kittens-he actually tore 2 boards off the chicken coup (where the kittens were moved) trying to get inside. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. As soon as my grandpa came out and told him to cut it out, he stopped right away...apparently I don't have the same authority as my grandpa does...

Eli got to love on the kittens. Today there were only 3 kittens, though...hopefully the 4th was just hiding...

Eli helped great grandpa feed the cats & Sam.
He had so much fun playing outside. We came back inside and had some lunch, then Eli went down for a nap, and I continued working on the cookies...they are FINALLY done!

I decorated 75 of them. If I get really ambitious, I might finish decorating the 'extras' tomorrow. I'm pretty sure 75 cookies will be enough, though...I am putting a couple pictures of them here...there were a lot of different 'designs', and I didn't feel like putting a picture of each design on :)



I think these were my favorite :)
I'm really glad I got them done. I felt like they took forever.
After I finished we had Chicken and Rice for dinner (ya know...because that's what you eat on Fridays...) and went swimming. Eli actually didn't get to bed until after 9 tonight...maybe he'll sleep in tomorrow...not likely...

You need to bring home the little kitten that is siamesy ... the white one with the gray ears. It would be perfect for Jennifer!

Jennifer McGregor said...

yes, please bring that one home for us. Not kidding.
