This past week Jelly took to the blanket as if it were her own kitten. Fortunately, she didn't make herself sick!
Brooke drew Jelly a picture on a post-it note this past week. She wrote To Jelly Love Brooke on it, and then drew a picture of a cat. She wanted to make sure it was somewhere where Jelly would appreciate it, so she stuck it right next to Jelly's food bowl!
Now that spring is here, Jelly has been actively de-bugging the house. This typically involves her going to places she's not allowed to, but we let it slide since she's chasing bugs. Last week it was on the bar that locks the back door, this week she climbed up next to the TV over the fireplace! If you look closely you can see the bottom of the moth at the top of the window behind the blinds.
For Mother's Day, Monica got a juicer. We washed it this past week and got it all ready to go one morning and Monica and the girls juiced the morning away! Yesterday when I went grocery shopping at Sprouts I was instructed to get 2-3x everything, so I expect much juicing in the week ahead.
Winry was very dancey and bouncy earlier in the week. I don't know if there's a story to this, but if there is maybe Monica will add it. Anyway, I thought it was cute, so here it is. Also her shorts are on backwards, that's why that little tie is in the back! That was her putting on her own clothes again!
One night as we were getting the girls ready for bed, I found Jelly, ever the master of stealth. She was hidden quite effectively from the opposite side of the teepee.
Monica planted our garden this past week. I believe this is all produce bearing. I know we got tomatoes, strawberries (we even still had a plant from last year that's coming back like a champ!) chard... and that's all I remember right now. Don't worry, as soon as Monica started planting the precipitation started, so mother nature even approved!.. oh wait... that's hail... oops.
On Friday while I was working, there started to be a bad smell in the basement. I thought it smelled a little like melting plastic, or something like that. When Monica came down she said it smelled like formaldehyde. Well, at around 3:15 I looked up and saw smoke coming out of my monitor! I unplugged it really quickly before it caught fire. It was running the whole time up to me unplugging it. I have no clue what happened, I guess I just got "lucky." Anyway, it made it's way to the trash, and the basement is starting to smell better. I think the smell got trapped in the carpet or something, so it's not all the way gone yet. Also, this was happening for 7 or so hours while I was down there that day. After work I felt a little... off, and spent some time sitting outside in the fresh air. Anyway, I've heard of monitors catching fire before, but it's always been one of those almost folk lore type tales. I don't actually know anyone that it's happened to, until last Friday.
This morning Winry was getting ready for church and Monica asked her to pick some bows. Winry promptly grabbed the kitty hair brush and headed to the bag. According to Monica this is the new normal, and kitty always picks the bow with his tail. I wish I could have gotten a picture too, but thought I'd value the video more.
And that's all I've got! Have a wonderful week!
