Random moments, black & white

kitten photos... 

His name is Sparra           [uh, think pirate - Captain Jack Sparrow Arrr!]




Right ...  well, this guy looks "adorable"

Much like the Captain ...

sometimes, 
he actually is adorable


and those are the moments when one might hear two teen boys say the word
"A D O R A B L E " (out loud even)
But truthfully, he's "annoying" ... still cute and cuddly {in those random moments} but ANNOYING.

Who knew??

Parenting techniques that worked so well with my boys are simply useless!! 

The thing about using love & logic is that kittens don't care if you love them or how logical it is to NOT bite or scratch or wound the person who feeds them.   Arrrgh!!

See how these eyes tell a story that looks much like curiosity … 




but quickly they turn into CRAZY-eyes and a holy terror kitten runs wildly around trying to bite and scratch anything in the vicinity of its claws.  

Case in point, bare legs ...  EEK!  


Legs which cannot go walking around bare as this might happen ... 

(yes, he's caught mid-air mid-attack, yes I have the marks to prove it!   Hmmmph.


But they love him, little terror Sparra ...

only adorable moments for me are when he sleeps!!


shh, don't wake him up!!
 
      Millie thinks he's annoying too...
then again she bops him in the head & takes a cat nap... 











Ooh, no ... I'm thinking he's plotting an attack of the toes ... 





Who says rescuing kittens is humane ... what about rescuing me?!!!   



I'm off to run some errands ... why is it he sleeps while I'm gone and is awake when I'm home... tell me they grow up quickly like my kids ~ a sophmore and 8th grader {way more mature than their grade or age}.

Livin' life happy ~ until my next 'rant'.

Changing the world ...

one puppy at a time!!

The boys qualified as "puppy raisers" with the Guide Dogs for the Blind program.   



Noela is an 8 week old black lab puppy.   She will be living with the boyz for the next year 
 --  at the BIG house with their Dad, that is. 


I'm sure you can tell how much fun they will have nurturing, training (and feeding) this sweet girl.   




Here she is all dressed up and ready to train!

I met her last week at school conferences -- no, she most certainly was not a distraction (tee hee)

Saturday I played "lap" for her nap during two basketball games!!    awww, I love puppies!!!

I'm happy to announce we are ALL well again (finally)!!   I'm so glad the month of illness is over!!  Whew . . . it takes way too much time and energy to be sick and to take care of others while being sick; I don't recommend it.


~


On to better things...  I'm so excited -- next week is Spring Break ...  yeaah!!    I'm taking some time off to be with the boyz.  I'm looking forward to having fun, relaxing, reading, and maybe getting some new stories for blogging!

Barrettes, Band-Aids, batteries?

.... and he cutest birthday-girl ever !!
It was a birthday party for that (not-so-much-a-baby) Baby Girl. She’s such a little character at a fine young age of TWO; flitting from one place to the next (like a humming bird) so fast I can barely catch her on film.

Moving now at speeds much different from her initial arrival; which her mom will attest was a painfully slow and arduous process.

But I think I’ll start before THAT part!

This is a photo memory of her mom, with siblings #'s 4-6, at the hospital anxiously awaiting BabyGirl's arrival…

As promised ... skipping over the hours of labor; displaying the angelic nature of this wonderfully precious newborn (2007).

Here she is one year later ... spying her first birthday cake ... MMmmm!!

Now we are in the present … (well it was yesterday, the 20th so now it's the past... but you get what I mean)...

Hmm... not sure about cooperating in smiles for the camera.

Hello-Kitty Band-Aids... for a very active girl;

it's true... a girl can never too many hair thingies!

Wheee ! Now she has wheels...

The party isn't over until we eat cake!!!

okay if you're counting, yes, there are 3 candles... but the BIG one plays the happy b-day song (until you want to swallow the thing while lit or rudely smash it into the frosting) ... and sweet Baby Girl wants the BIG one on the cake!!

Yumm!! How many grandparents does it take to keep the frosting in the mouth of a 2-year old???

There was much more action to behold, with cousins and presents and all... but that is captured on the camera card of someone who remembered that "batteries" are essential at birthday celebrations !!!
