I also want to post that today #2 turns 11! I am so proud of #2 and all that #2 has become. As #2 grows up I see maturity coming through!
My #1 left on the bus for state fair today. #1 will be there until Thursday, it was hard to let #1 go, but I think it will be good. #1 is with other teens from the county, #1 earned the trip with the project done for the county fair. I am proud of what was accomplished.
The fair went well, all blue ribbons, 1 reserve champion!! So proud of my crew and all they accomplished.
VBS went well also. Very HOT HOT HOT, but I loved the company, fellowship, laughs! We did a 24 hour camp out in tents. Love getting to know my fellow Christian friends!! And the kids all had a blast. The one thing all the grown-ups will remember is hearing the wind, but not feeling the breeze inside our tents. We all laid there thinking. " God, isn't this kind of mean?? It is 106 out and we can hear the wind, but not feel it??" :) We all know God loves us and takes care of His own.
We are off to a birthday supper for #2.
Enjoy your night!!
Happy Mom! :)
So what do you do when you have unwanted pets in your yard??
This just happened here. We had a cat come into our fenced in backyard while the kids were outside. So I went out to see the cat and saw it had on a collar and got info off the collar to find the owner. I call the owner, Who is someone in our neighborhood, who we don't know well. The mom is super nice, and I think has a tough life. Anyway I leave a message for her telling her we have her cat, please call back. While we are waiting for the call back, #4 goes outside and the cat comes in. Now I am chasing a cat around the house, trying to catch it. Without getting scratched or bit. I catch it and the cat does NOT like to be picked up. I dispose of it outside, where the kids are eagerly waiting to see the cat. I tell them to follow it around, but don't touch it. Yeah RIGHT! This is a cat!
She calls me back and tells me it is a super nice cat, loves kids, won't hurt anyone, etc. While I am on the phone with her, the car bites or scratches #5. Since I am not out there, I do not know what #5 did to the cat 1st. It could have been justified, I mean #5 just turned 3 and isn't around animals. So I get #5 calmed down and then get a phone call saying her son is walking over to get the cat. Perfect! He comes over and I take him into the backyard to catch the cat. It takes him awhile, and the cat hisses at him also, but he does catch it. I thank him, and I am happy to report the cat is back home!!
We do not have pets, 5 kids is enough for me to take care of!! I know the kids are always asking for a pet, maybe after today they won't. The sweet innocent cat was not that when it left here!
If the pet seems harmless and has a collar, I would like to try and get ahold of the owners 1st before I call animal control. What do you do?
