Kitty Tails (badumchi)

Borat is one of the most relaxed cats I have ever known, much less owned. He will literally get his toenail caught in the carpet and just lay down and wait for me to help him. Not frantically waiting, just like “Oh well…*yawn* someone will be along shortly to help me out…or not, whatever.”
Regardless of his relaxed nature, he’s not a huge fan of water. Even though he will hang out in the bathroom while Little Miss takes her bath…he does not usually venture near the tub. Until yesterday.
I had just finished giving Little Miss a bath…the tub was still full of water and she was sitting in the bathroom floor, wrapped up in a towel when the door opens. Borat sashays his way past us and leaps (leaps!) into the tub!! He had a look of sheer horror on his face when he turned around- soaked, but still in the tub! I grabbed Little Miss b/c I figured he’d be clawing his way out of that water like a mad-man…but no. He looked around and calmly climbed out of the tub- as if to say, “Aw man…now I’m all wet. Shucks, I hope someone gets me a towel.”
What cat does that!? He is such a goof-ball! Juno was also in the bathroom for the festivities- and she was definitely not into following Borat into the tub. In fact, her facial expression read…”dumbass purebred” (She’s so hood.)
Neither of them is too pleased with me tonight. I got them both collars…with bells!! They jingle all over the house and I think it’s hilarious. Borat is quietly annoyed, but Juno tries to run from the noise- which I find particuarly humorous. The look on her face is priceless…she pins her ears back and runs like her ass is on fire, then slams on breaks and turns around like “ah! It stopped!” Then starts to walk again & the jingling starts again…and she runs again. My sides hurt from laughing at her.
I’m really not cruel.
See…she’s getting used to it!

Oompa Loompa Baby

This is what happens when you let your toddler have meatball parmesan all to herself.
Taaa-Daaa!
Look, Mama!! This fun orange stuff is on my hands too!!! Let me hug you!
Needless to say, she had a loooong bath after lunch.

Country Girl!

Well, after 2 months of traveling it is good to really be home. I never thought I would look forward to doing housework, but I was so excited to spend the entire day yesterday getting our house reorganized!
Today we had a bit of a lazy day- as every bone and muscle in my body is aching from the drive home Tuesday and my reorganization party yesterday. Little Miss has a new obsession- walking outside. It’s to the point of having to spell the word o-u-t-s-i-d-e because she loves it so much. So tonight, we continued her nightly event of walking out in the yard. Granted, our little yard is nothing compared to her Bubbie & Gran’Daddy’s yard…but coupled with a walk around the block, it did the job.
Our Little Country Girl
Caught in between worlds…country girl in rock’n'roll shoes.
Spying on the neighbors! I’m not sure where she learned that one! ;)

Around The House

On most afternoons since we have been in NC, Little Miss & Bub or Little Miss & I have gone exploring in the yard. We look at the flowers and the trees- we talk to the squirrels- we bring the dogs out with us and we have a wonderful time. Yesterday we brought the camera along on our adventure.
Throw your hands up!!
& don’t forget to put your ones up!
We always have to hold hands when we’re outside…
Gran’Dad’s tractor.
These tires are huge!
My personal favorite…under the fig tree.
Bub caught us!!
