[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Good Morning LL!! (LOTS today Elsa! please.....), and Happy Fursday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, KBP kitteh barista pilot!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Bug and Lola are exhausted from too much fun at Rusty's - it was da-bomb! but they still want to be working today so..... They have decided that today is TURN-AROUND TRIPLE THURSDAY! They are doing triples on everything! :shock: Kinda cool huh!They say that since Wacky Wednesday was so wacky that they wants to give all kitties some fun times today, triple funs! What will that be.... I dunno! :roll: so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and Double shot Breve's, with beans from high in the Brazilian Mountains.... and for my mocha fans: a VENTI Quad Blueberry infused white mocha/mocha blend with white chocolate chips melted within, swirled with a raspberry puree, topped with a strawberry infused whip garnished with caramelized berry sprinkles and white chocolate curls and a caramel drizzle.......SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of 4 berry and vanilla and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with caramel and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are complimentary....

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday.I am so sorry that I missed everyone! it was a late arrival home, and then I decided to sit down for a minute. Mistake! next thing I knew it was bedtime..... Our weather wasn't the best yesterday, but at least there were no rains. We did go Swimming, William spent the day at the other grandparents while Nicholas and I went to the pool. We never did make that park, as both boys were so tired that I brought them home so they could nap. Pool time was so fun! here's what I wrote about the day in last night's post: "Hi Everyone! What a great morning at the pool. Nicholas was his old energizer fish today. Two whole hours in the pool, and I think we did all that there was for him to do: Deep Sea diving in the hot tub, slides over and over, buckets and spouts, and more fun things in the big pool. Noodles ruled the roost today, that and the small buckets pails. He discovered that it you pour water in one end of the noodle that it will run out the other end. :lol: :lol: We must have done that a million times. What fun!. The guards continue to talk to him, and he is getting more comfortable with them. Today he went up and said hello and waved to one of them. She walked by while we were in the big pool and asked Nicholas if he could show her how he jumped in the pool. It was so great to see him climbed out and do what she asked. Jumped right in! WooHOO, way to fo little man. We had a pigout in the car after swimming. By then William had joined us. A feast on PBJ sandwiches, veggie soups and yogurt drinks. William so wanted Nicholas's PBJ. :lol: :lol: All in all: what a great day. Both boys are now crashed in their beds, down for a well deserved nap: Swimming is HARD work! " What a terrific day for the boys.

And just from William: he is just too cute....
William: LOOK! It's a kitty!

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! This morning things are very normal, very quiet... hmmmmmmmmmmm...... Once again Elsa has camped out on her spot on the sofa, Bug is in Mannie's bed, and Lola is on my lap. Supreme bliss rules here this morning. I so wish it would stay that way.... ;-) Lola will always be Lola: my crazy wild mischievous loveable sweet girl. This was so cute and funny: last night when I went to shower I could hear her running and playing and flying over the bed. silly cat. So I called to her from the shower, asking where was my glass door pounder? The next thing I know I hear this gallop, followed by a bang on the door, which made it fly open more than it was, then this dash to the glass shower door, followed by this rapid pound pound pound... she looks at me, meows and then dashes out, back to the flying over the bed. It was as if she said: "OK, there you go. That enough pounding?" :lol: :lol: :lol: you gotta love her. Bug spent some time yesterday checking out William while he napped, walking circles around a sleeping baby on the floor. Lots of sniffs, up close sniffs, and then he sat there and just stared. Sizing up this small tiny human I imagine. So Bug, whatcha think? He a good guy? The house was not Lola-ized yesterday. So far Lola hasn't powered fown the 'puter again.... so far all I had was one marathon run, now they are all in their beds.... so...... can I still say Normalcy in MusketeerVille?

Have a great day everyone. I am back on Nicholas and William duty today. The weather is questionable today, so it may be an indoor day today. We shall see how things develop over the next few hours, and then decide. I am sure Nicholas will come with a plan too. He always does! I will hope for a repeat of yesterday afternoon weather, when the sun actually did show up, and maybe we can get to that park and beach today. Paws crossed!

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon

Good Morning! It sounds like you needed the rest, bedtime always sneaks up on me fast too! I guess Lola was too busy playing to be your shower door banger and towel warmer, but it's nice she made the effort for a little bit when you called her :lol: . Elsa, that blueberry mocha sounds very good...I think I may need to visit you ;-) Have a good day, Michelle, hopefully you will see some sun!

HI everyone! I hope your day was a good one! What started out as foggy, dreary and downright gloomy turned into a really nice day here. Maybe 45, but sunny blue skies. A little it of a breeze kept it cool, so a part of me is glad we opted to postpone the Skykomish River until tomorrow. The Activities Director, aka Nicholas, so wnated to see the Aquarium, again, sheshhhh - he should be on the board of directors. :lol: Since it was so foggy off we went to see the fishies. He just never tires of the place. Todays focus seemed to be the anemones at the tide pools, and of course the whales. William is still all wide eyes at the tropical fish windows. By the time we were done the skies were blue, so we all decided to explore the water front park a little. Even that was nice. Only one "down and out " individual... Hard to explain to Nicholas why he was spread eagle on the pavement. :? .... Anyways, we wrapped up the day at Juanita Beach Park. Boys napped on the drive over there, lucky ducks! Lots of swings, and slides and water stomping... and making little rivers in the sand to the poosl of water on the beach could drain. LOL: Little guy just liked making his own rivers. That was fun. William got to play in the grass, only ate a few blades. : ) SO went the day,,, downright good in my book, even without the Skykomish... I sent home two very happy, and very tired boys. I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's condo.

Hi Rachel - Yupp, probably did on the rest... kn ow I sure do tonight! What a busy day! ;-) I thought so too on Lola - time out from her busy play schedule to humor the bean. Good kitty!
Auntie Rachel - no worries!! I will come to you! on my way - I will bring TWO! ~~ Elsa, KBP

Hi Carla -I agree ob Lola! Thought it funny, but she did oblige me. THX too on the video - he is such a cuite!

Such a cute video of William! I'm glad Nicholas is getting comfortable with the guards. I can't wait till he starts lessons - he's going to be an amazing swimmer!

That is such a funny Lola story...especially because I had a similar situation with the East Coast version of Lola - my Frankie - last week! When I got in the shower, I heard her batting around a bunch cardboard tubes and boxes I had waiting at the top of the stairs; I was going to take them down to recycling after my shower. I don't know what she was doing, but she was making a racket. But, when I got out of the shower, all was quiet.I called out to her..."Frankie, are you still being crazy out there?" She came running into the bathroom, jumped on the toilet, spun around, then ran back out! Yep, she was still being crazy! It's funny how they really seemed to answer our questions, isn't it?

Have a great night, Michelle!
