Good Morning LL!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (DGS FUEL, please Elsa!), and Happy Fursday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Lola and Bug are back on duty, and they are very excited! Seems that this Saturday is the Strawberry Full Moon, and Head LL Chef Rusty has asked them to make some pizzas for the party. They is in a quandary, how to do strawberries in a pizza. Hmmmmm.... I said strawberry ice cream on the pizza, but they said it's gotta be better than that! HUH? I bet they will do some infusion thing: strawberries in the crust. They is getting mega good! so. well. anyways. onwards! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and and Triple shot espressos, with beans from Ethiopia: they is primo! AND.... for all my Mocha fans: a Venti quad almond roca infused mocha, with chocolate caramel whip, garnished with caramelized almond clusters, chocolate shavings, a dusting of crystallized caramel and dark chocolate drizzle OH! No worries, a dollop of mocha almond fudge ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... good!

Yesterday was a great day - a pool day, a trail and berry hunting day. Nicholas's dad is still on vacation so he can help his mom with William, so we are on an abbreviated schedule this week. I still pick up in the morning, but am able to drop Nicholas off with his dad much earlier in the day. Right after his adventure he goes home, and is able to nap in his own bed. A special treat for him. Anyways - pool was great, as was the trails. This is what I wrote in last night's post: " HI everyone! Boy am I late this afternoon... where did the day go! oh yeah... at the pool!... and on the trail!... and eating berries!.... Nicholas and I had a great day at the pool. With school being out here I really expected mayhem, :shock: It actually was a quiet day there at the pool, not many kids at all... until about 11 then the masses showed up.. I suspect that by Friday it will be drastically different, when the summer program starts. oh well, we will wing it, make the best of the masses. Today was a good one for him, still loves it there. The energizer FISH was just that: energized, and 100% FISH. We played with the noodles alot, spent much time in the big pool, rode the slides, splashed until we were soaked. :-D AFter the pool, and lunch, we had another berry hunting session on the pool trails too. The huckleberries are starting to come in. so now we have to hunt those in addition to the salmonberries. It is amazing that he gets his fill of berries on that small trail. And... there are still some to ripen. LOL: we must be the only ones picking them. Needless to day he was ZONKED after all that.... I-) I-) I-) I-) :cool:" Here is the Picassa link to the photos: Berries everywhere!, and Swimming!. I had also taken a few photos during breffis for Nicholas, as Lola and Bug seemed to want to hangout some with him while he ate. Nothing like Nannie used too do, but they still did show. Kinda cute. Nicholas sure does love his berries! Breffis with the Furkids

BTW: William had a great DR appt yesterday - his two week old one. He has gained about 10 oz, is healthy, with no issues at all. Dr says my DD can stop feeding him every three hours at night and let him go until he wakes hungry. Initially they wanted her to feed that often since he was born three weeks early. Guess little William has made up for lost ground. He's doing great - already trying to hold his head up. GO WILLIAM! I hear Nicholas was trying to show him the other night the proper way to do it. :lol: :lol:

Lola, bug and Elsa are doing great. No issues, short of my constant "LOLA! Stop that!" she is crazy... :lol: :lol: :lol: I will try and take some more photos of them today. :-D

Have a great day everyone. We are due for alot of rain today, so I suspect that Nicholas and I will need to find an indoor place to go.... maybe the aquarium! I will wait and see if the weather forecast will change in the next few hours before making a commitment.... I will try and get to condos when I can.

KITTIES!: Think BLUE!!, Think GREEN!!

Have a great time tiday with Nicholas. The acquarium is always a nice place, too.
Elsa Lil Bit, thank you for the Triple Espresssos and 10 hour energy coffee, the best ever, Auntie Ann
 
Sounds like you have been busy, but what fun and so worth it. Nice that Nicholas can go home and take a nap in his own bed. I hope Erin, DH, and William are all doing well. Too cute on Lola. She is a curious one. Great report all the way around. Have a wonderful day Michelle!
 
Morning Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) THX on the pics - that boy does love the pool. Berry picking was fun it's great how he looks forward to that. :cool: I like that description of Lola: energizer kitty - that she is! :lol: THX on today - it should be fun. Been while since we were there.
Auntie Ann - I gots you covered! and your neighbors! They texted me orders his morning. :shock: :cool: WOOT! The bestest ever? I am so happy.... ~~ Elsa, LIL BIT, kitteh barista

Morning Melissa ~O) ~O) ~O) Yupp, busy is a good description - it just never stops! :lol: :lol: All is good though. :-D THX: all at DGS's home are doing great, adjusting to a new born in the house. Much easier for them the second time around. They say that at last this time with a newborn they kinda know what they are doing. :roll: :lol: oh yes on Lola: curious, crazy, energized. What fun!



Off and running! FUN awaits with Nicholas. Plus, it will eb good to see William for a bit too! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :cool:
 
Hi Michelle. Sounds like you & Nicholas had another fun filled day yesterday. I always said if I knew grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them first :lol:.

I'm sure you'll find some indoor fun for today....the aquarium sounds good. Good report on Williams's check up.

I like the pic of the cup of coffee with Elsa's signature foam. Have a great day Michelle.
 
Hey Lil Bit,

Tell the pizza makers to make a dessert pizza with the strawberries! They can use the pizza dough like pie dough and will create something really yummy! Adding whipped cream and ice cream will be da bomb! Kind of like strawberry short cake but strawberry short pizza instead.

What do you think? Will that work? Of course if they stick their paws and noses in the whipped cream and ice cream then it would be a huge mess! But hey that's part of the fun no?! ;-) But with a mess comes a bath! nailbite_smile That may be enough to ensure they stay out of the pizzas!

And please have them make me a special chicken and turkey pizza for the party! I love chicken and turkey!

Signed Maui the Magnificent, I gots lots of ideas!

 
He's doing great - already trying to hold his head up. GO WILLIAM! I hear Nicholas was trying to show him the other night the proper way to do it.

That is so cute. It sounds like you had a great time at the pool yesterday. That's great the kitties like sharing breakfast with Nicholas.
 
Hi Michelle,
What a great day you had yesterday, and today, even in the rain, sounds like you found a way to have lots of fun. I love the pics of Nicholas and his breakfast club buddies! And wow on those berries!

Enjoy the evening,

Ella & Rusty

Hey Elsa, Bug and Lola: the Full Strawberry Moon on Sunday, June 23rd is also a "super moon". It will be a fantastic party. How would you guys like to host it in the tree house? That way the strawberry pizzas can be fresh as fresh can be. Think about it and let me know, OK? The Kitchen Krew needs to plan.
~ Rusty, LL Head Chef
 
Hi, Michelle, I love the pics! The energizer fish is getting so big! The succession of pics of Nicholas in his car seat made me laugh ~ going, going, gone zzzzz. What a fun way to spend the day yesterday.

That's a great WWR (Whole William Report)! Glad to hear he is doing so well.

Hope you're having a good evening ~ scritches to Elsa, Bug, and LOLA!! (That's said with the 'what are you doing now?!?' voice ;-) :lol: )
 
Hi everyone! Another late post for me... Nicholas and I had a great day at the Aquarium. In the long run I am glad we did not try for an outdoor adventure, a hike, river trip whatever. It was rained non-stop here since noon. Our radar is nothing but a sea of green. :shock: :roll: :roll: I wish I could send all this rain to AZ.... We had a great time looking at all the fish, tide pool creatures, Tropical fish, otters, well everything! I think we made the tour of the place five times. He did remember it from his last visit, and knew exactly what he wnated to see and when. :lol: :lol: And of course everything was on the run, Run to this, run to that. :lol: :lol: We have a nice aquarium, and I really like the hands on stuff that they have. One can touch all the creatures in the tides pool. I lost count of the number of anemones and starfish that he touched. Quite the learning experience for Nicholas. After the aquarium we went and visited a small waterfront park that they have next door. There are areas where one can walk out onto the piers that are over the sea. He really likes to venture out on those. FUN! I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's Loose Lips.

Hi John :-D THX, we did! :-D :-D :-D actually they are all fun filled - I have such a good time with him. He just LOVES the pool. Hey - I LOVE THIS!
I always said if I knew grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them first :lol:.
That is So true! THX on today too - we did do the aquarium,a s I know he loves it there. THX on the coffee pic. I like it alot too. Ann of Ann and Tess found that for me. She's always finding cool things like that.

MAUI! You is da-bomb! I LIKES that, and will tell Lola and Bug. I hope they don't eat them all before the party! :shock: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And whip cream?????????? Mega cool. They is nodding whole heartedly so Yahoo! One dessert pizza coming up. heeheehee I will tell them the bath part. They don't like baths.... ~~ Elsa oh yeah! Gots it on the chicken and turkey pizza too. They may easy it too. :shock:

He tries so hard to stay awake... nope! gotcha again. THX too on William. mom and dad are very pleased with how ell he is doing. He is a cute little guy. THX on tonight, and already I have used that voice with Lola over a dozen times. :roll: :roll: :roll: She is a great cat, but OMG!
