Oh My. . .

It's been a long time since my last post.

Where to begin.

We're now a family of 4...
4 eyes that is. Both the kids went to the eye doctor and both kids need glasses. Zoie got hers the end of September and Jeremy's hasn't gotten his yet.

Had two field trips. Jeremy went to the City Museum and Zoie went to Relleke Pumpkin Farm.
They had pony rides.

That was a fun day but it very exhausting for me.

Moe got fixed. They recommend at 6 months. I just wanted to get it done before he starts marking his territory. Nothing is worse than a cat spraying except for a skunk. Now we are debating if we should get him declawed. I haven't seen him scratching on the furniture, but he is tearing up the back door screen from climbing on it. I try to clip his nails once a week to keep that down.

Zoie is going to be a Cat for Halloween. Got her the ears and tail and a black sweat suit. She 's also gonna be a penguin for the December program so that suit will be double tasking. I just have to look for some good face paint to make up her face.

Jeremy is debating on whether he's going to go trick or treating this year. I'm not sure how old is too old. He said he'll use his costume from last year if he goes.

I'm still have some issues with my RA. My blood counts are going down, but the swelling in my knees and hands are not going down. They are still a little painful, especially in the morning or when I walk for too long. I don't go back to the Rheumatologist until the middle of November.

Well, that about sums up the past month. Not a whole lot of excitement going on here.

School is going good

Zoie just loves it.

Hasn't got one bad thing to say about it.

Jumped on the bus the first day like she was a pro.

Jeremy is enjoying school.

He doesn't have to many complaints yet.

Here's a few photos of the 1st days.

Todd and I had to go the first day with Zoie for a hour and a half. They colored and did a little scavenger hunt looking for the ginger bread man. He was found in the cafeteria and the kids got to eat him.

This is the 2nd day where she acutally got to ride the bus.

She was way too excited.

She couldn't hardly stand still.

Loves the sound of water

If he hears it running or being splashed he's there in a hurry.



Everytime Zoie's in the bath he is right there. Licking the water off her hair when it comes into reach. Walking back and fourth on the edge of the tube. I think it's the splashing sound of the water he loves so much. He even comes running when I'm getting a glass of water from the fridge. For an animal known for hating water he sure loves it. Doesn't mind getting a bath now and than but only if he's being held.

I would like you to meet

Moe

Short for motorboat. Because all he does is purr, even in his sleep. I'm not sure if that's the name he will keep. I always get over ruled. I'm trying to stand firm. Hey if I have to pay for getting him fixed and declawed, which was the agreement Todd and I had, I should get to name him, right? One would think so. But It probably won't work out that way because I carried those kids for 9 months and all my names got shot down. Zoie swears it's a girl and keeps running girl names past me.

This is where he camped out all night, Jeremy's bed. Just don't tell Zoie because she wanted him to sleep with her. He did lay down with her for a split second but since Jeremy was still up 'Moe' had to check it out and just ended up there all night.

Now that he's up I need to see if he remembers where his litter box is. It's so nice to get a cat that is already trained.
