My day with the kids

Here are some highlights from today's activities with the kids:

• Matt was supposed to be at work super early. His alarm didn't go off so there was a chaotic rush in the morning. Since I was up I went ahead and took Mojo out. And since it wasn't yet 6 a.m. and it was still dark, I managed to step on Katie's tail since she was hiding in the shadows. I then fed the cats (cleaned up some cat vomit) and went back to sleep.

• I got up around 8 a.m. and started on some cleaning. I decided the floors needed to be washed. Gunnar had been watching intently from the counter (pictured above). When I got the Swiffer Wetjet out, I couldn't keep him away. He just had to walk on the sticky floor.

• Around 11, I made myself an early lunch. Gunnar was lounging on the table. That was fine until he decided he wanted to flop into my bowl of soup. Don't worry. I moved the bowl away in time.

• I was doing some cleaning and AGAIN stepped on Katie's tail. She was hiding and I am the worst mom ever. I also found more cat vomit. Poor Katie is not having a good day.

• I took Mojo to the park next to our house. He scared the bunnies. It was really hot. We came back and he had ice cubes and I had sorbet.

• I was going to take a nap upstairs. Mojo likes to be next to me so I brought him upstairs. Poor guy headed straight towards the porch thinking we were going to hang out on the porch. We took a nap. I woke up and all three kids were in the bed with me.

• While we were upstairs, there was a bird on the porch. Gunnar LOVES to bird-watch and he was chirping away. The bird was doing a lot of squaking so I wonder what they were saying. Gunnar was twitching his little stub tail and making the cutest noises. I'll have to put a video up soon of the noises he makes while bird-watching.

• I made some dinner with bacon in it. Mojo helped taste test.
