Yes, this may come as a shock to most of you - our family has adopted a cat. I can't believe it myself. About a month ago, a cat showed up on our deck and the children (darn them!) let him right in. He has not left since. We even went camping for a weekend and he was still here when we returned. So, being the sympathetic person I am, (yes, really I have a sympathetic side) I bought it some food especially since it was looking quite thin. Every morning when we wake up, the kids race to the back door to let the cat in and it is chaos from then on out. They laugh, scream, and chase the cat - it happily obliges them - and when things calm down it sleeps for several hours wherever it can find peace and quiet. I finally broke down and took it to the vet because I imagined all the diseases that it was exposing my lovely hyper children to. Ugh is what I said when I saw the bill...... The cat is still here and according to Cerise and Tobias it will stay forever. That remains to be seen, but for now I am taking extra allergy medicine and gritting my teeth. Oh, and the children named him Bill.
en bowling one time before, but this was Cerise's first time. They were both so excited to go. They both think they are experts at bowling (thanks to Wii bowling!) so I was just a tad worried that they might get frusterated at how much harder it is to really bowl. For most of the game, Tobias had the high score but Dan pulled ahead at the last minute. Here's a few clips of them in action. I made the mistake of holding my camera sideways while I videoed, hence the sideway shots. I can't seem to find a way to turn them 90 degrees. Ugh!!!! And yes, Cerise yells, "What the heck?" after her throw.
