[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 - all that curling practice, 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, with lots of 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! I hope your day has been a good one. Our weather her is awful! lots of rains... but I won't complain. I keep thinking how bitterly cold it is in other parts of our country. I hope you all are staying warm. All that snow fall on the east cost! And in Georgia, and Alabama, and Florida? It is nice to see here that is has snowed most of the day up in our mountain passes, a few rain moments, but snow over all. Yahoo! We so needs the snow pack. BUT (!!) they can keep it there. haha. It has rained here most of the day. About 3 or so the fog moved in too, really dense fog. It is so odd to see rains fall in the middle of that fog... Nicholas and I swam alot today. William stayed with his other grandparents. We were in the water at 9:30, out at 11:30. The last 15 minutes were really mellow ones, those engines were close to being on empty. ;-) Funny thing was he realizes about 5 minutes before the start of the next session that that session has the big bucket dump and the lazy river. it was as if someone had flipped the energy switch and he was ready for round 2. what a kid. We didn't stay though, as I had William to pick up. What a great day in the pool. and per the norm we did just about all there was to do: even dumped on by the little buckets, time on float mats, time exploring the bottom of the pool. He mentioned his swim test. really? he says "I need to take my swim test soon, OK? but not today" :lol: . I suppose that when he is ready for that he will tell me. It was a great day there, always is. Another lunch pig-out in the car. William was in in that too. He had a fit until he got to taste the Nicholas's PBJ sammich. That was too funny. So home for a nap after that - he really was wiped out, as swimming is HARD work!! For once he didn't fight me on it. Got to the house and off to bed he went on his own. SWEET! By then it was pouring outside. Just as well that it was nap time.... " I love swim days... and really cannot wait until I can take William too.

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. The mornings here are my some of my favorite times with the kitties. Each one has their set routine, and I try to send time with each one of them before the day truly gets rolling. Lots of purrs and cuddles from them all. GO KITTIES!!! I so wish it would stay that way.... ;-) Lola will always be Lola: my crazy wild mischievous loveable sweet girl, who just cannot resist anything that is remotely tempting. :roll: :roll: We were ripping up paper bags yesterday.... chasing Bug everywhere... whacking Elsa (who did whack back).... and pounding on anything she could, especially that shower door. She is so funny. I almost expect her to be there when I hit the shower. If she isn't I will call for her. She always shows up. Pounds the shower door some, leaps up onto the towel shelves after that and snuggles down to watch the shower. It's really kinda cute. 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! Nicholas has a dentist appt, routine check up, first off in the morning, so I am off to meet him and William there. Off to play after that.

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

It sounds like Nicholas is looking forward to that swim test. I bet he'll love taking the lessons. I hope his dental check-up goes well today. That's so cute how Lola has the routine with your shower. I hope you have a good day today.

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Good Morning, Michelle,

I hope that the weather will clear today so that you and the boys can do something outdoors. Good luck to Nicholas with his dental!
William is sure a cute baby. I love the big smiles he gives you in that video.

Have a great day,

Ella & Rusty

Hi Elsa, please bring lots of today. And Rusty hopes you and Bug and Lola will be out for curling practice later.

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

Morning Carla THX, I hope he is too. It is just a matter of his feeling comfortable with those that will be working with him. He still has a tendency to be a bit shy. ;-) I know he will lvoe lessons - already he watched them, and says he wants to do that too. He will have such fun with it, and being with the other kids. THX on his dental checkup - I hope he does wel too, and will elt the dentist check him out. So hard to be 3 sometimes... :lol: Lola is son fun - I love the shower thing - he time, her spot.

Morning Ella ME TOO (!!) on the weather... so far, looks like an all day rain ting, but one never knows for sure. So we will hope. THX too on Nicholas's dental - ought to be interesting to see how he handles it. William so reminds me of Nicholas when he was that age - all those smiles! THX on today - looking forward to it, and whatever we end up doing.
Auntie Ella - you gots it! I will bring LOTS, and the super big size too! You needs me! On my way, as are Lola and Bug. Curling RULES! ~~ Elsa, KBP
Rusty! DUDE! We are all ready. Lola and Bug are packing up a few pizza snacks, and making sure they have all their gear... they forgets sometimes ya know. I had to reminds them. They had forgot their brooms! :shock: See ya in a few. ~~ Elsa

HAVE A GREAT DAY everyone! I'm off to meet up with the boys, their mom, and watch a 3yr olds dental visit. :? ;-)

 

[Angela & Blackie & 3 Others]

Have a wonderful safe day you guys! I know you're not nearly as cold up there, but I'm pretty sure you're still damp, and that's just as bad. Stay warm, and thank you for sharing your stories, and those decadent s! YUM!!!!

 

[Rachel & Chyna (GA)]

I love that you have a nice morning routine with all the kitties. It's the best way to start the day I hope the day goes well, with the appt and playing! I hope Lola doesn't cause too much ruckus while you're out :lol: . Have a great day, Michelle!

Hi everyone! I so hope your day has been a good one. Ours has been fantastic. busy, tiring, but fantastic. It has been a wet one too, and windy. Temps weren't too bad, but with the wet and the winds that really picked up it as just plain cold out. Nicholas cracked me up. He was oblivious to the winds and the drizzle, just kept doing his thing, checking out all the outdoors stuff at the center. I was cold. William was a hoot: one of those winds gusts would whip on through, smack him in the face and I'd get an arm and leg jolt/smack to whatever part of my person he made contact with. Gotta love those front packs. :lol: :lol: After a bit, and one strong gust of wind that had water spraying all over him, Nicholas says maybe we should go on, it's a little windy out here. well, yes it was. so in we went, only to go out again 30 minutes later. :shock: :lol: :lol: We did the science center today, it was his pick. His dental appt went really well, he did all that was asked of him, which was really nice to see from a 3 yr old. SO he got to pick anything he wanted to do. The science center was great, we had no other obligations, he wanted to stay, and with the rotten weather it seemed like a good choice. Nicholas had to make sure we did everything, so we went though it three times just to make sure. :roll: :lol: William was so busy watching all his Big Bro did that he forget he was a baby and should have dozed off some. He never did, just kept soaking it all in. About 2:00 he says "Grammie I'm kind tired. maybe I should go to your house and take a nap. " oh HAHAHAHAHA. so we did that too. On the way home he asks for the beach at Juanita Beach Park. well we didn't make that, but no matter, there is always tomorrow. it was so windy then that it was just as well he opted to take a longgggggggggggggg nap. He sure does love to be out. His last sentence to me as he was getting in his car to go home: "tomorrow, The river at gold bar. OK?" :lol: , looks we are going to gold bar, and play some on the river. works for me. I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's condo.

Hi Angela - THX, we did! Day was great, we all had a good time. Yupp, right you are on the damp! temps are in the low 40's, not too bad, but with the wet, and the the winds, it does get really chilly. We did mange the warm part, short of a few trips to the outdoor part of the center. the winds did us in there. still fun though! Aren't those 's something else? omg... I still say one of these days I will truly try to make one. Best try at home. My local barista would look at me like I was nuts. :lol:

Hi Rachel - THX on the morning routine with the kitties - I love it. When Mannie was with us, the morning was so run by routine. We both thrived on it. it was then that I realized the value in taking time out of crazy busy mornings and spend some of it with a one on one with them all. So worth it. THX on today too - his appt was great, he did awesome. We played well too. ALot of time on the feet, but it was fun. One TIRED grammie! :lol: :lol: TOO FUNNY on Lola - so far I have found nothing amiss. in fact she is down and out for a nap. HUH? :shock:
