CAUGHT the CAT!!



WOW!! The last 4 days have been crazy with Gretchie catching the cat!! Now if you know the history of my spoiled Siamese Princess who is going on 17 years old!! Tashja had a major trauma ten years ago when Lee and I got married---she was kicked out of the bed and was not allowed to sleep with us! Until Lee softened after a year or so and then we moved and another trauma for the cat!! Our bed is too high now for her to sleep with us (or she is too lazy to jump up) --and right before Christmas would not eat dry cat food any longer!! We gave in and gave her wet cat food and then she started waking Gretchie up in the middle of the night or early morning for the wet food!! Tashja is now in the laundry room on a regular basis at night!!! Oh--and major trauma when we brought a six month old home---the cat literally HID the first year!!! Now --Gretchie is so gentle and loves her MEOW and now the cat lets her pick her up and carry her!! Gretchie is so proud of herself ---She has not let the cat go the past four days!!! She tells me MOMMY MEOW WANTS TO HOLD ME!!! Can you please catch her--I say no and so she has caught her numerous times and then asks can you hold Meow so I can get on the couch!!! "G" sits and talks to her telling her all about her movies---ha ha!!! Here are a couple photos I have quickly snapped as the cat is being carried and is falling out of "G's" arms---I have had to rescue the cat!!!

T*P ESCAPADE










Gretchen was suppose to HELP me carry the tp upstairs--I ran back in the laundry room and when I came out she was neatly unrolling it!!! I could not miss the opportunity to grab the camera---and YES I did figure only 20 cents a roll made fun entertainment instead of watching BABAR -again and again!! (by the way Father Christmas --Babar went back to library as she says yesterday and is staying there as long as I can take it) She took the tp cardboard tube and threw it away in the garbage even! Then it was time for running and jumping (she said she was skating) into the tp she took her two stuffed bunnies and were talking and throwing them in also!! Imagination and laughs made a Monday fun!! Notice her "new DORA tennis shoes we found in a box." They were size 9 and she still wears a 6 1/2!!! They made great running shoes!!!

This is the way we make the bed..make the bed..??!!












Gretchen loves making her bed every morning with mommy singing the song----I unfortunately do not make ours often--maybe because of this reason with a cat or two year old in and out of the covers!! It made adorable photos and lots of giggles!!! A simple task took forever but oh well!!!

More Outdoor Fun---

AFTER nap on Friday mom and I took a stroller ride to the grocery store!
I wanted to play in the grass in our yard-----so I played on my slide as mommy cooked dinner! I wanted mommy to play on my slide sooo mom made me play with my teddy bear. I said to my bear "hold my hand and I will catch you"---Mommy then heard MOMMY---please take our picture...smile bear!! (OH my) Mommy then heard "G" outside saying I AM STUCK MOM!! She had thrown all her balls over into the front/side yard and then was trying to get through the fence herself!! (she was NOT stuck) She was trying with all the cuteness she had to get Michael and Melissa's attention (5th and 3rd grade) They did say hi--- and she started talking away to them---funny thing was it was across the street so they had a hard time understanding what she was saying to them so Gretchie would turn to me and have me repeat her sentence to Melissa! (soo smart--knowing her voice could not be heard) . Then another neighbor came over with her 3 yr old granddaughter (Kyndall and G played at the fish ladders about a month ago) and they play about half an hour.



Saturday NANA & PAPA came over from Walla Walla----they got here when Gretchie woke up at 1:30 pm!!! Some reason she was extremely clingy and cried off and on for about 30 min (so NOT her)would not even get down----until we went to the park! She snapped out of it!!It was very cold and windy !! We then went to Home Depot with them and they left at 4:15 pm----It was soooo fun to see them but they of course went home to early!!! No Idea --what that spurt of behavior was--overwhelmed--still asleep---excited---tummy ache from yesterday and kept asking to use the bathroom----OR just two?? (how strange--she loves her Nana and Papa)
