We've been doing stuff that is dangerously close to yard work.

I cut done all the sprigs of aspen that were blocking our gorgeous rock wall. The difference is amazing. The rock wall leads up to a cute little nook inbetween the pines and aspen, and it has a little area big enough to lay down a couple of sleeping bags. It's very cute, I took some pictures..I'll load em up tomorrow and post them.

Then we sprayed the wasps nests thoroughly and killed every last bugger. We will spray the nest down tomorrow with a hose. Then we bought some outdoor lights at arc and Mark is busily getting those hooked up. He also hooked up the lawn lights that are wired in the garage. So now, among this lovely little sitting area in the middle of the trees, there are little lights lighting up here and there. We bought some tiki torches and put them on the patio. Im so excited, the front of the house looks so cute, and now we can enjoy it because the wasps are gone.

Emma and I are having a nice conversation outside while Daddy works on the lights. She found a little mouse cat toy..this hideously pink thing (which Im sure is probably full of catnip) and she has made it her next pet. His name is little louie, of course! He's so pink I told her she should call him panty pink louie so now she just abbreviated that and calls him panty louie. lol. We sat outside and made a house for panty louie in a basket, with grass and twigs. She's distressed that she might have to leave it outside when she comes in.

We talked about boys (her advice - dont marry one that bosses you around), bees (if you have bees, get the spray from Home "Debot"), and going to mommy's tomorrow. She's sad cause she'll miss us, but she said she misses mommy and marla too. I told her in 7 days it'll be daddy day and she'll be back. She said.."7 days? how about more like 3.." (I thought "no, 7 is good.."). She also talked about how sometimes little kittens have to play by themselves cause mommy's and daddy's are busy.

She's taken a liking to showering with kt every day, so even if she's had a bath that morning, she insists on showering with kt that night. Tonight we were on our way out for a bit with her, so we told her no shower tonight, cause we had to go to the store. She stomped around and pouted saying "I havent had any food for two days..and I havent showered for a week!" Mark bellowed his famous "uuhh..excuse me?!" lol!

Been a fun week.
