Meet Meg

-


We got a cat!  After two years of being cat free, Nana and Papa talked us into taking a stray that was living at their house. They were crafty, those two.  They introduced the cat to Finn during one of his weekend stays.  Finn and the cat grew very attached to the point where Finn was asking to bring home the cat.  Michael was deadset against it.  But after much persuasion, Michael agreed and we are now proud pet owners. 

Getting the cat home was a challenge though.  She hates to ride in her cat carrier.  On the hour and half ride home from mom's house the cat broke out of her carrier.  She then begins terrorizing Sam and Will.  Sam doesn't want the cat to touch him at all and Will was screaming on the top of his lungs because he wanted the cat to sit in his lap.  The cat wants nothing to do with Will (imagine that) and decides to have a great big bowel movement in her litter box that was lying in the floorboard.  It smelled terrible.  After relieving herself, she found a since quiet spot on the dashboard.  I have no idea how we made it home. It was pretty stressful.

On the way home the boys decided to name her "The Meg" after "The Megaladon."  We call her Meg for short. Meg is a precious cat.  She is very loving.  Other than climbing our Christmas tree she is a really good house. Will adores her.  He chases her around the house and when he finally catches her he pounces on her or picks her up by her head.  Even though he is really rough, she has never scratched him. Of all the boys, Finn is currently her favorite.  Her typical place to sleep is with Finn.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
