Our Newest Adoptee

TITO!!!

He's a 4 month old kitten that was found in someone's garden. He was put up for adoption by a place here called SCAA (second chance animal aid) and we adopted him last weekend. He's cuddly and sweet and loves to play.

Our Little Brit

Daddy, look at the bike, they're rich.

No, they're not rich. [chuckle]

But the bike is posh. It's so posh.

You Can Never Have Too Many Towels

especially when 2 of your kids have the stomach virus at the same time! I used to think that having so many towels was a waste...ahhh, but now I know better. Nothing cleans up the puke as well as all those towels along with using 2 or 3 or even 4 to layer the ground around where the child is sitting or sleeping so that maybe, just maybe, you can avoid having to wash sheets, bedding, pillows, couches and rugs. I have also learned that just after you take a shower and clean yourself up, the kids must smell all that cleanliness and think, nows the time...and you are back to square one - standing holding a crying child who has just managed to puke all over your clean self and clean clothes. Who said having children was so much fun?
