bones, cute carter, and the sad indoor cat.

Mini once again enjoyed a class field trip to Fort Whyte. Last year, I volunteered to hang out amid nature with my daughter and her bunch of 4-5 year old buddies.

This year, it was Roomie's turn, which is why -- instead of pretty pictures of flowers and birds -- we have pictures of our daughter swinging around animal bones. Like Xena: Warrior Princess. Because she loves princesses.

"I -- in my cute, pink, kitty-cat t-shirt -- will clobber you with this bison bone! GRRRR!!!"

As you all know, I LOVE HGTV. One of the shows I enjoy watching in the morning is Carter Can. This morning, Mini woke up early, came down, and plopped herself on the couch beside me...

Me: "That Carter is cute."

Mini: "But Daddy's cuter."

Touché.

For the past year, Mittens has been a happy outdoor, chase-after-birds-and-squirrels, nap-on-the-deck cat.


Unfortunately, we've recently learned that she's also been a poop-in-the-neighbours'-gardens cat. Consequently, for her rare outdoor excursions, she must suffer the humiliation of being leashed in the backyard. What a sad, sad indoor cat.
