Good Morning LL 
(LOTS! I just love ), and Happy TUNA Tuesday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Today is TUNA TUESDAY!!! In honor of Tuna Tuesday, once again Lola and Bug, aka Paw Prints Pizza, want to make their famous triple tuna pies, with tuna and nip infused crust, tuna toppings, and now triple tuna infused cheese. YUMMMMMMMM! It's tradition!, and these pizza pies totally rock! As a side benefit we have TUNA WATER too! so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espresso, beans from the heart of central Ethiopia. and for my mocha fans: Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls....SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with crystallized oranges and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are really good today too!
I hope everyone had a great Monday. Mine was great. It was pool day, so hoe can one go wrong with that? We had a great morning before heading on out to the pool. William is really growing an changing, and likes to watch his brother play. Nicholas will show him things, how to do things, and just talk with him. MORNINGS here are so much fun. Yesterday the boys played blocks, watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and laughed alot before we headed on out to the pool. William stayed with my DMIL Grammie Connie while Nicholas and I went to the pool. Here is what I wrote last night about yesterday: "Hi everyone - I hope your day has been a good one. Our has been very nice. Our morning fog burned off about 10:30, so that was nice. We ended up with a sunny day, temps in the 50's. Actually a very nice fall day. The rest of the week still predicted to be sunny and 60. WOOT! We are all so looking forward to that! It was a good day in the pool today. As always Nicholas had a blast doing what he wanted to do today. Slides for a bit, swim the beach for a bit, and then off to the big pool. His enthusiasm in that pool is just unreal. Lots of flips and tosses and jump ins today. This was too fun: when we got to that pool there was a class just winding up. It looked like 4/5 yr olds? anyways they were doing jump ins. So Nicholas decides he wants to be in the class, so off he went. He stood a respectable distance next to the kids and did what they did.
Way too funny, but way cool too. ;-) 
He did well today, did 1.5 hours almost, even with two obstacles. He was beat when we got there - falling sleep in the car. 1) Seems he was up alot last night when he should have been sleeping, wanting this and that, typical little kid stuff. So not much rest for him. and 2): The pool folks are working on the air system, and just re-tarred the roof. Guess people complained on the smell. so their solution was to open the glass doors along the sides of that big pool to air things out. :shock: :shock: HUH????? it was 42 outside at that time. :roll: :shock: :roll: :shock: I had to laugh though - you could feel the cold, and the steam was really rising off of the pool surface. It was kinda cool, figuratively and realistically. The cold really is not matter if you are a lap swimmer etc, but those little kids were cold. so... despite the lack of sleep, and his constant shivering he did very well. LOL: It didn't take him long to figure out he needed to stay in the water to stay warm. Not too sure when we will get back to the pool this week, as my DMIL is off on a three week trip, and I have no more day backup for the rest of the week, so whatever it is will have to be an evening swim." SWIMMING is such fun for Nicholas. He plays so hard, and yesterday he was one TIRED kid...
Normalcy in MusketeerVille! The kitties have been good kitties today - even Lola. Fancy that! Lola played with the boys in the morning yesterday before we headed on out to the pool. Bug checked out William a few times. It's nice that each boy seems to have their own special kitty here. Nicholas mentioned Mannie again yesterday morning. Said he misses him, but knows he's happy, that Mannie's Garden is a cool place. Wow on that.I'm glad hes till remembers his very special friend. They were such a pair for close to two years. Nicholas did crash after swimming yesterday so I hauled all 32 pounds of him off to bed so he could get a good nap in his bed. Lola showed up for that, sat with him for a while. There are times when she can be such a sweet kitty, very calm and affectionate. cat_pet_icon It was a nice mellow day here yesterday in MusketeerVille. AWESOME!
Have a great day everyone. It is another Nicholas and William day today. I hope to take the boys up to a river as Nicholas asked for one yesterday. He has such fun there that it is no surprise he asks to go back. I will see how weather and temp patterns develop and then pick a spot. Who knows - Nicholas may have already decided where we are going! ;-) The weather yesterday was said to be good for today, cool but with sun, so I hope we can make the trip. I will try and get to condos when I can.
KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon
