Ice Cream Kitty

Kaitlin's one year old cat, Muffin (or Muffy as we've taken to calling her), LOVES ice cream. What cat doesn't? Corby got some ice cream tonight, and Muffin sat on his lap while he was eating. She kept pawing at the bowl. Of course, she knows he always lets her lick the bowl, so she was waiting for her turn. She finally got her chance...My friend, Chris and I went shopping on our (extended) lunch hour today. We were buying items for a themed basket we are raffling off to raise money for United Way. Our group's theme is KITCHEN items. I intended to take some pictures of us shopping, but I guess our hands were too full, or we were just having to much fun to remember I had a camera with me. I'll take a picture of our finished, shrink-wrapped basket on Monday and post it then. Hopefully the basket will turn out nice. Our items include a crock pot, George Forman grill, kitchen towel set, gift card and some other goodies from Williams Sonoma, cookbooks and a Longaberger basket. I have so many baskets, I decided to donate one. Hopefully we'll raise a lot of money for United Way.

Corby and I grabbed dinner at Pizza Hut's Italian Bistro tonight. The service sucked, but the food was good.

My current book is SUMMER by Karen Kingsbury. She writes wonderful Christian novels, and this is book 2 in her Sunrise Series. Great reading!

And our October 19 quote (fitting for a Kansan) is: "Anyone can love the mountains...but it takes a soul to love the prairie." -- Author Unknown

LOVE the quote!! I just may have to steal it. :)

It's funny to watch Shawn eat ice cream... because the dogs surround him... waiting... they enjoy pudding too. And every time I buy one of the two with chocolate... I get the lecture "Honey, the dogs can't eat chocolate." Well... you know, sometimes I have to have cookies 'n cream.

yeah, we have to watch the chocolate thing too. This actually was cookies n cream, but he ate all the cookie part out of it first!

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
