Cats and dogs living together in harmony..........

We've got a toddler walking and dogs and cats getting along in our household. Strange days indeed.

We've got trouble on our hands........

Giselle 0.9 is mobilizing.......

New cat in town.......

We've got a new cat. His name is Sunny. He's a one year old orange tabby cat. He's got a couple bad habits that we'll have to break him of, but overall, he's a very loving and affectionate cat.

Kali 3.6 learned the hard way that kitties (she was the one that wanted a cat) do have claws. She was goofing around and wasn't nice to the kitty. He stuck her in the leg. She came to Daddy saying "I don't want a cat anymore!" Grandma and Grandpa were even on Skype at the time to watch it all unfold.

As Kali has learned since then, cats are much different than dogs. They have different needs and you have to handle them differently than you would a dog. She has done a much better job of late being nice to the kitty. They're now good buddies.

Tinkerbell 1.10 has also learned about how to treat a cat. She promptly received a couple of swats on the snout with her first advances. But she's learned to give the kitty some space and they actually will sit within a couple of feet of each other. They're both doing very well under the circumstances.

Uh oh...........

I went with Kali 3.6 tonight on what was a simple task........purchase a backpack. We went over to Wal-Mart and were directed to the backpack section. Kali spotted a Disney Princess backpack and our search ended right there.

We went up to the cashier stand and bought the backpack. The cashier was a nice lady who asked Kali whether she was going to preschool or kindergarten. Kali said preschool and the cashier said her daughter was going to 3rd grade. Then it hit me.......Kali is going to preschool. It always silly when another parent gets emotional because their kid is off to school until you're the parent.

Can't believe she's growing up. I can't say it's gone by too fast because I feel like I've been able to enjoy it with her and not miss much of it at all. Although I've been busy the past couple of months with the winery and getting it all set up, I've also had a lot of quality time with my girls and it's been fantastic. I'll be making sure to make time for them going forward as well, regardless of how busy I get.

Bathtime quotes.......

Only during Kali 3.6 bathtime at our house would you get the following quality information.

"Dad, did you know that the word 'butt' is in the word 'butterfly'?"

----and----

"Whoa, I just made bubbles in the water with my butt!"

See, no clothes!

Kali 3.6 went out to swimming lessons today. When she got back, Mrs. Lime had a Happy Meal for her. Kali proceeded to take off her swimsuit and start eating.

Me: Kali, is there a reason you're eating your hamburger naked?

Kali: No, it's a cheeseburger.

Yes, forget the whole nudity thing. It's important to note that there was a slice of cheese on her sandwich that Daddy failed to acknowledge.

Day after day.......

My life is like Groundhog Day at this point. Take care of kids, go out to work at winery, take guests through winery for possible events, and come home to hang out with family and do anything I didn't already do that day. For not technically having a job right now, I sure am busy. So busy that I realized I haven't posted to the blog in a week. Goodness.

Today I'm hoping to get some tiling work done at the winery. It needs to get done so we can cross that off the list. I'm sure there will be other fires to put out, but that's a good start. Hopefully I'll remember to blog a bit sooner that a week from now.
