Good Morning LL!!!! ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (DGS recovery mode, plus... I LOVE ~O) ), and Happy Caturday everyone!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Lol and Bug, prez's and CEO's of Pawrints Pizza are so happy! They worked all night and perfected their strawberry infused pizza crust for the Strawberry Full Moon Party. They say the ingredients are mega secret, but I SWEAR I also smell lots of nip, some basil, and oddly enough cimmamum! Hmmmmm.... This will be interesting. AND it tastes really 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 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..... OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... good!

It was a fun day here yesterday. M<y DD, DSIL, and both DGS's came over to spend the day. :razz: :razz: :razz: :cool: A pool was involved, subway lunches, a movie on the TV, and some good hanging out time. This is what In wrote in last night's post: "Hi Everyone! WOO HOO! What a day! Erin and Jason and Nicholas and William came up today. Jason and Nicholas and I went swimming while Erin stayed home with William. We had such a great day in the pool. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: Nicholas loves it when his dad is there. It was interesting day there. Summer schedule started today, which means alot isn't open to us, it's reserved for lessons, etc but they had the big pool open too, normal time. so.... not too sure what is up with that. Maybe they changed their minds on that, or maybe it was just a one day thing. dunno. I guess we will see what goes down next week. Nick wanted to show his dad today how he can swim, so he did. wow - kinda impressive. he did maybe 15/20 yards underwater, come up for air in the middle and back under he went until he had done the distance he wanted. back and forth a couple dozen times. what was really cool was that we had side breathing on one of them. looks like I may have to start working on that, when he wants. he has obviously been watching the lap swimmers. anyways - what a fun day. His dad is now more than adamant and on board that all this swim stuff we do continues, more than obvious now to him how much Nicholas likes it. I had to laugh - he kept repeating: he did side breathing. LOL, and yes he did. anyways - we had such a good time. I just love dads that participate. we didn't go for berries afterwards. just too short on time. he and E/J/W needed to be over at my niece's house, who cuts hair, so that the little guy could get his first official haircut. Had to laugh at Erin: "we gotta get that hair out of his eyes when he swims". oh haha. it was nice to hang out with them while Nicholas napped. We watched some gawd awful movie on TV that put us all to sleep. :lol: :lol: :lol: : )!!" The movie was the remake of Total Recall. omg: bad....good action sequences but well... no on the rest. :lol: :lol: :lol: We all really truly did fall asleep. :lol: :lol: Here is the Picassa link to the photos, and the swim videos: An Afternoon Chillaxin' and Swimming!

Lola and Bug continue to be Lola and Bug. :shock: I had left a container of one of those FF Appetizers on the counter so Elsa could have some too when she came inside from her out and about in the sun. I kept hearing this racket in the kitchen, which truly only means one thing: "OH OH!" Sure enough! they had figured out how to open it, had it all over the counter and were having a grand time cleaning up what they had spilled. You gotta love it. Both of them came to sit with William yesterday to. That was nice - and they were as gentle and patent as Mannie used to be. Loved it! Thank you Mannie for guiding them. Elsa, per the norm, was nowhere to be found, not with one of those noise machines in the house. :lol: :lol:

Have a great day everyone! it will be a catch up day here: the normal Caturday for me: shopping, laundry, cleaning, errands, all the fun stuff. I hope to do a local woods to shore hike later in the day. :-D

KITTIES!: Think BLUE!!, Think GREEN!!
 
Morning Michelle ~O) ~O) what a great condo reading about all the fun all of you had together yesterday. Nicholas is amazing with the underwater swimming and acrobatics with his Dad. Soon he will be doing laps. So funny with Lola and Bug and the appetizers. :lol: :lol: That is great they are so gentle with William. You couldn't have gotten better kitties than those two and we all know Mannie was guiding.
Hey Elsa can't wait for my coffee and can't wait to taste that strawberry infused pizza crust for the Party. Is this tonight or tomorrow. Mags will bring some of her cheesecake with catnip and shrimp.
Have a great day, Michelle. Maybe a shore walk in between chores.
 
Morning Michelle! ~O) ~O) ~O)
Well, we've got lots of energy from Elsa this morning, so you should be good to go for all the "fun" stuff ohmygod_smile and a hike! I love the pics of Bug and William! (Bug and Baby, Bug and Billy, B&B)..ok. enough.. his name is William! I'm sure Mannie has a hand in how kind and gentle they are with him. What a nice day hanging out all together! I'm still chuckling about Lola and Bug getting on the counter and figuring out how to open the appetizer. Those two are not to be stopped. Carry on Woman!

Elsa, I got an iced tea spoon at the rummage the other day. And it's coming in pretty darn handy this morning! I went right to the dollop of fudge. whoooo hoooo. I love the caramel also. You ROCK!!!! love you dear.. auntie mary!

We be playing today!!! Then we gots lots o work to do for the Full Moon Party. Let's go! Bug, Lola, you two are hoots!! Let's clean it up and move on to the next event! Elsa, gots to train those two. Do you think they'll ever learn? See you in a sec. - oliver
 
Morning Ann ~O) ~O) ~O) Hey - thanks on all. We did have a great day yesterday, on all counts. it was nice to see Lola and Bug checking out William. They were hesitant, but not fearful. it was great! THX on Nicholas and the pool - I think so too. A future swimmer maybe. ;-) THX on today - I too hope for that shore walk. Paws crossed. oh yes on Lola and Bug and the FF Appetizer. I could not help but laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Auntie Ann - no worries, you are on my permanent list. :cool: Me too on the pizza111 Rusty says the party is Sunday. He will be so glad to have Maggie's cheesecakes. Mannie always said how good they were. ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Morning Mary ~O) ~O) ~O) I KNOW on Lola! She is no dummie, that is for sure. She, with Bug in tow did get that thing open. Just a few minutes ago I heard Bug on the counter, taking the plate off of the top of Elsa's fuds bowl. Elsa is a grazer, and I have to cover the bowl when she isn't in it,a s bug is MR HOOVER, and will eat what she leaves. Sheshhhh - now that isn't even safe. he moved the plate! :shock: THX on the pics, and I could agree more on the kitties and William. Too funny on the Billy. I will laugh - his dad says no Billy, and since his middle name is Robert he says no way will his boy ever be Billy Bob. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Auntie Mary - you gots a sepcial spoon? Much better for fudge dollops than that ice tea stuff. mega cool! heeheehee - I rock? Thanks you, I luvs you Auntie Mary ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Oliver! DUDE! I likes the play today. I don't think those two will evers learn about a clean kitchen. they like messes. my bean says so too. Lola digs up everything! it's mega crazy, ya know? See ya soon ~~ Elsa
 
It sounds like everyone had a good time during your visit yesterday. That's funny Lola and Bug figured out how to open the FF Apetizer. That's sweet they were so gentle with William.
 
Sounds like another great day at the pool. Dad was right to be impressed, you have done all the right things getting Nicholas involved in swimming, no pushing it. All at his own pace. Kids just love to show how much they learn!

:lol: :lol: :lol: On Lola and Bug! Good luck, I think Emma is planning to stow away on the bus! Emma and Lola together! :shock: ohmygod_smile
 
Good Evening, guys!

Sorry to be so late. Your condo with its wonderful pics of the family and swimming and its great descriptions of kitty antics is a joy to read--and see--today.
Elsa, you must be tired out trying to get the two young ones to follow rules. And what an affront that they broke into your fuds! But they are so cute. Thank you so much for the morning coffee. It tasted so great.

Michelle, I hope you got out on your hike today in good weather. Thanks for visiting Rusty's condo. He certainly took a Mannie-like dive! I raised his dose 2 drops and am hoping that it isn't too much. Gotta keep an eye on him tonight.

Have a lovely evening,

Ella & Rusty

Yo Elsa, Bug, and Lola: You all sound like the preparations for the party are well in hand. I'll be over early to work with the Kitchen Krew and make sure we have all the right ingredients. Tons of strawberries!! We'll have such fun. Thanks for all your great suggestions and for hosting the party. Mannie will be so proud of you! See you tomorrow,
~ Rusty
 
HI everyone! WOOT! Things got done today. YaHOO! Made it to the store, laundry was done, errands run. and even some yard work. I did spend some time out on my usual woods to the shore hike/walk. I can never really call this a hike, even though many do. it's so routine and a near daily thing that it just seems like a walk. well anyways - nice day down there, Crazy with too many people. sheshhhh! So I headed on down to the southern most past, walked quite a ways, without the chatter of the masses, tide was out. LOL: got caught by it on the way back. HAHA: wet feet. enjoy it, managed to crank out about 6 miles out of it, so good to go I guess. The day has been a good one here weather wise: sunny and 75. With days like that one has to Merak it outside. so I did! :-D I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's Loose Lips.

Hi Carla - THX, and we did! I know on Lola bad Bug: nothing is safe around here. I still can't believe that they opened it! I think so too on William. That was really cool.

Hi Ann - Many thx, we sure did try. All at his pace, doing what he wants to do on a daily basis, while trying to instill some learning while he's having fun. Worked so far. His mom and dad love it. me too!
I so know on Lola and Bug - what a pair! they spend hours at night just playing together,and the running! OMG on that. non-stop. run run crash shatter run run slide run. :lol: :lol: Then they lock paws and roll across the floor. :lol: :lol: OH HAHA! Emma on the bus! oh oh..... That does make me laugh. :cool:

Hi Ella - no problem on the hour. I'm up, and have been gone most of the day anyways. so good to go! :-D AH thanks on the condo... kinda normalcy here in Three MusketerrVille. Yesterday was really a nice one: Nicholas got his swim in, with dad (!), and the rest of the time just spend together was relaxing and very nice. YES on the hike, it was just a local one, but still very nice - sunny! And good luck on Rusty's dose. I had a chuckle over the Mannie like dive. ah the memories: our very own Olympic Diving Champion. :lol: :lol:
Auntie Ella - I AM EXHAUSTED! They are mega crazy! too much play in the kitchen ya know? It is amazing that they can crank out such good pizza's! They is good though, so I try to be patient. I KNOWS! MY FUDS!!!!!!! cat(2)_steam They said they was sorry, and broke into another FF for me. So I forgave them..... HEY -THX on the brews today! :-D ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, kitteh barista

Rusty! DUDE! We is all set. Lola and Bug have been workng very hard, when they are not playing :roll: , and things are looking great! Treehouse is all set, zip lines are operational, hot tubs are working, plasma TV is set, and the wood stoves and grills are all set too. This will be one cool party! I am so excited to have it here. THX, I think Mannie wold be so proud too. ~~ Elsa
 
Wow....what a fun day. All the kids, grandkids, and a kitty treat raid :lol: :lol: !!! How sweet of Lola and Bug to sit calmly with William. Mannie does continue to work his magic!!!
 
Morning Amy ~O) ~O) ~O) THX on all. I thinks o too: Lola and Bug were very gentle and patient. Mannie continues to work his magic, oversee all. What a nice thought. The day was such a nice one. Loved the kitty treat raid - silly kitties... but it was rather funny.
