A Busy Week

This has been a pretty busy week. The cats went in on Tuesday to get fixed and have their front claws taken out. Adam got couches from his grandma for his birthday, so those were delivered on the same day. Also, I had to clean house and Adam had to finish grouting his grandma's entry. Wednesday the cats came home...drunk. And it was Adam's Birthday. To celebrate we went to the shooting range since he didn't get to shoot his guns while up north. I didn't shoot the new SKS, but I shot the AR and Glock*. Its surprisingly really fun to shoot them. Adam's mom, both the grandparent's and Leah came too. They didn't shot, but they enjoyed watching.
The cats have been couch potatoes this week. It's kind of nice not having to keep track of what Dea's into (the dark colored one) she gets into everything!

This is what Ellie does best, other than stink things up. She is 5 years old, so she is stubborn and set in her way. She has refused to use her temp kitty litter. But we called the vet, they gave us the go ahead to use regular kitty litter, so we're all happier today. Adam can smell EVERYTHING and is convinced Ellie did something in our bedroom. I can't smell it, but he swears its there. She's a good kitty. A pain sometimes, but a lot easier than kids.

Poor Walter didn't want to be left out either. So he got a bath. He smells so good now, and his fur is really soft. Everyone at work kept telling us he smelt kinda bad, and I don't think I have ever given him a bath, so it was definitely time. He hates the tub and the blow drier.

Oh, and of course Valentines day was Thursday. By then we were so worn out we cancelled dinner plans and went straight to pick up my present and then went home to watch a movie and make smoothies. I got a rug and a painting for my living room. They are both nice, but the painting is really cool! I'll post a picture of it after we have a chance to hang it.

We just haven't had a busy enough week, so we are going to make up for it this weekend and go skiing/boarding again. I can't wait. Lets hope it's warmer this weekend.

Sounds like Ellie is treated like the step child in your family. Why else would Adam assume it was her that stunk up the room. Remember when I bought that fancy kitty litter for Ellie when we were living at Camelot, and 2 days later when I went to change it I discovered it had not been used yet. And Francie had been acusing Brewster of peeing in her room for 2 days? She even tried to tell me he peed on her bed! I was like NO WAY did he do that, but then again, you just never know with Brewster. I was very relieved to find out it was Ellie though and not Brewster.
Have fun skiing, It is supposed to be 8 degrees in South Bend today, so Im guessing Kalamazoo isn't going to be much warmer.
Happy Birthday Adam!
BTW did Adam get a V day gift, or just you? This year in our house only one of us got a V day gift, and it wasn't me, Todd got guitar hero.

Adam got an expensive birthday gift, so it counted as his v-day gift. And the picture and rug...thats for the house. I wanted the picture badly, but Adam wanted the rug and called it MY gift.. Don't worry about him. And yes, I do remember that about Ellie. She really is the stinky one. Dea smells a lot better. Adam actually likes Ellie more then Dea cause shes friendlier.

Have fun skiing. Glad to hear that Adam had a fun birthday. Hope the kitties are back to feeling energetic soon. It's so sad to see animals when they aren't feeling well.
