Whitney and her friend Madison spent over an hour creating a 3 page document (including photos) with arguments for getting a cat. Randy and I looked over the papers and found them amusing, but then I found them in the medicine cabinet the next morning...subtle. If only Whitney could apply her determination and creativity to keeping her room clean I might consider her request for a cat (outside cat).
Every morning I go into the kids' room flip on the lights, turn off the fan (white noise) and say "good morning sunshine", and this is what Whitney looks like after all of that.
I thought these chairs (which are being retired) from school made for a cool photo.
Thank you birds!
Whitney dropped a hair clip down her bathroom drain the other day, so Randy unhooked the pipe underneath and found all of this grossness! No wonder the sink has been running so slow!
Landon has been working on thank you notes for those who helped with his Eagle Project. I am very happy about this and love it that he wrote substantial notes not just a 2 line thank you.

Oh Mom, let her get a cat. (an inside cat) Jay brought me my sweet Chloe 14 years ago and she was one of the best gifts I've ever received. Such love and sweetness.
Whitney is pretty darn convincing. It could be worse, she could want a gazelle or elephant or boyfriend.
I'm not even the littlest surprised that Landon knows how to write a heartfelt thank you card. You've taught him well.
Hooray for Randy's home repair skills. Sinks do seem to have a story to tell.
The picture of the stacked chairs was something a creative eye would catch! What a fun picture.
I forced Carmen to write thank-you notes to those who helped her with science fair tonight. I didn't look, but it is my bet they were 2-liners. Good for Landon!
If you get an outside cat you'd best keep it on a leash.
I think it's hilarious that the 3 page document was in your medicine cabinet. We have a cat who we think might be part dog. We will prob never get another one bc they won't live up to Big Tone's coolness.
Good job to Landon on the thank you's.
I'm so impressed with the length of Landon's thank yous! He has been taught well!! I also think that it is so important to write thank you note to those that help or inspire you. What a great kid!
Whitney's plea for a cat is so funny! Eventhough I am 'anti' cat - I think that the girl should get points for being so creative. My middle made me a video of why we need to get a dog. I think I might just have to buckle! (honestly!)
A toothbrush down the sink! I found that so funny! Anyone that can do home repairs is a hero to me!
My first thought when I saw the chair photo was - are they for sale?! They are so cool - but I wouldn't have a place for them! ha
I'm with you on the cat. We will never have one. But I do have to admire Whitney's determination!
Hmmm our kids sink isn't draining either, no telling what is in it!?!?
Don't listen to your anti-cat friends. You will all love a cat-get one about 6 months old. Cats are so easy to care for and they will love you forever. (will even curl up next to you in the cozy while you are reading your books-ha)
My kids want a dog or a cat or both. We get these kinds of notes and subliminal messages and even power points all of the time about why we should get a dog or cat. So funny! I agree with you though, if the kids actually kept their rooms clean and the basement picked up- I would actually consider it. ;)
Have you ever used one of those snaggle-tooth plastic drain stick things? Vomit inducing, but so incredibly pleasing at the same time. You are forewarned.
