MISSED IT!

The only photo I took today, and I missed it! Buttercup sneaked into the cat tree and was sleeping by Marisol. By the time I got the camera, Marisol became aware the kitten was there and was leaving! Oh well, I hope I get it the next time - gotta start carrying the camera with me!!

HELPING

Or so Marisol says! Yup, putting the last of the Christmas ornaments away and Marisol just couldn't wait to get in the box!

Ella plays with the cat!!

Ok, that may not seem like a big deal, but for Ella it is. She is so timid around animals and isn't really "into" them like the rest of us are. She doesn't actively reach out to pet them or talk about them like the other kids do.
Then this morning, Ella came to me crying saying the kitty attacked her. I look down and see she's holding a shoe string. I said, "Ella honey, the kitty didn't attack you. She just wants to play with the string you have." I then showed Ella how to move the string along the floor and she giggled when the cat got it. I then heard the boys getting up, so I handed the string to her and went upstairs to dress the boys. When I came downstairs, she was still playing with the kitty, and laughing!

TRIPLETS

"SO MANY GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES, LIKE MUSKETEERS AND ABC'S. BUT TRIPLETS ARE THE BEST OF ALL FROM LITTLE ONES TO THOSE QUITE TALL. AND FROM THE TIME SUCH LIFE BEGINS, IT'S EXTRA LAUGHTER, TRIPLE GRINS. WITH JOYS AND MISCHIEFS MULTIPLIED AND TWO DEFENDERS BY EACH SIDE. SO MUCH ALIKE, FOREVER LINKED, AND YET THEY'RE ALSO QUITE DISTINCT. THEY SHARE A BIRTHDAY AND A NAME, BUT MOODS AND TEMPERS AREN'T THE SAME. FROM DAYS OF YOUTH TILL LIFE IS DONE, IT'S ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE. GOD MADE US NOVEL AND PRECISE, BUT SPECIAL FOLKS~~~HE MADE THEM THRICE!!!

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN"T LOOKING

(Written by a former child) A message every adult should read, because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's lessons that I needed to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."
