Crazy Kitty

Today, we went to get the girls Easter dresses. When we got home from shopping, we heard a sound coming from the bathroom. To our amazement, this is what we found.

Mr. Meow (that's what we named him finally), sinks are for washing hands, brushing teeth, and washing faces. Not to sleep in! Crazy kitty!

Silly Animals

I love my animals. They amaze me, and amuse me just the same as my children do. The following pics are just a few examples.

The kitty is grooming Daisy.
The staredown.

Daisy says the kitty is hers.

He was actually comfortable like this. He slept there for an hour. The kitty, not Andy.

Anyway, as you can probably tell by the constant referring to him as "kitty," I still haven't come up with a proper name for him. I started calling him "Ricky Bobby" but the girls don't like it for some reason. Maybe it's because I say it with an accent, like the french guy in Talladega Nights, since that's where I got the name from. I know I am a dork. So I still gotta work on getting him a name that sticks for longer than 2 days. I'll keep ya posted!

Hello 2009.......

Andy and I rang in the New Year in a historic fashion. We went to a casino, and it wasn't our work! See, Andy cannot stand any form of casino gambling. Which is kinda funny since he is the Shift Manager in the casino we work at. Yep, we both work at a casino, and he hates gambling. Ironic, isn't it! Well, every year we have either worked on NYE or we have stayed home with the kids. We have only gone out once, and that was last year, when we went bowling for NYE. So this year, he wanted to do something, so we went to Clearwater so we could play penny slots. Fun times, I tell you! And when I say penny slots, I mean penny slots. He would only bet the minimum. You can actually bet a lot, like up to $5 a spin, but no, he wanted to only bet a little. Which was perfectly fine, because we really just wanted to get out of the house. Anyways, we actually ended up winning $120 on penny slots!!!!! Craaaazy! When it was time for the ball to drop, and ring in the New Year, the casino erupted into cheers, laughter and utter chaos. It was actually a really fun night, and I am glad he talked me into it!
In other news, I forgot to mention my "secret present" Andy got me for Christmas. I was completely unaware he was getting this for me. You see, we normally tell each other what we get for one another. He knows I hate being suprised, so he always tells me. Well, I shouldn't say always because this time he caught me off guard! Anyways, he got me a kitty!!!! I was completely shocked! He usually doesn't care for cats, but he knows I love them. Well, he found one that he just adored, so he got it for me. He is a 3 month old Siamese mix kitten. I named him Smokie, but I don't know if that name is gonna stick. I liked it at first, but now I don't care for it. So, for the last 2 days I have been calling him "Meow meow." So, if anyone wants to suggest a good name for him, I will gladly consider it! The dogs were too funny when we introduce them to the kitty. Daisy was completely jealous, which is understandable, but Dusty didn't even notice the kitty at all! So, we got the dogs got used to the kitty, and they were fine with him, until the next day, when they saw the kitty in the window, and then they lost it. All they did was bark and bark until we gave them attention. I love my kooky animals. Anyways, below are the pictures of my new kitty.

The first day we got him.
Yes, he does belong in this family. He has already taken over my laptop, just like my kids!
He has the most crystal blue eyes, but you can't tell by this picture, because my red-eye fixer doesn't work on kitty eyes. You'd think all he does is sleep. Well, you'd be right! That's how Madeline got to dress the kitty up without him knowing it! He is soooo adorable, though.

So, like I said earlier, if anyone has any name suggestions, please let me know! Happy New Year to all!!!!
