That poor cat

Today our group was at Bianca's and Anthony Joseph's home. It has been hard for all of us to meet up at the same time since our kids have all maneuvered their schedules around to their desired nap times (some have 1 others 2 and all at various times). We look forward to when they are all on the same page again...at least we hope that will happen! Bianca's cat Freckles became the play groups own petting zoo companion...sort of. Poor Freckles got pulled at, smacked, poked, and a kid favorite...hit tail. Poor Ashley found out pulling ones tail is not acceptable in cat land...as Freckles finally had it and gave her a swat. But for the most part the cat took some serious abuse from our littles ones, and he is probably thankful in his cat prayers right now that we are all gone and he only has ONE child in this household for now!
Ashley stunned me today when she was sitting next to me and said "HI" (clear as day with a smile) while waving...in other words HI I am here pay attention to me! Just like one of the girls! Penelope made me laugh when she scolded Rylan with a wagging finger every time he pulled at her or pitched a fit (which was as always very often). Yet again Rylan had another week of hitting, whining, crying, and plain out being pissed off that I had the nerve to bring him over his friends house to play (for his case he does have a cold so maybe he wasn't feeling up to snuff). Melody and Penelope were playing like they were roommates in the play house. Melody also expressed some serious concerns of her's to Penelope who looked at her with concern. Julia had a cute shirt that said "Everyone Loves Brown Eyed Girl", and was enjoying showing us her belly button! Anthony Joseph was as always a kind host who let all of them use his toys and often was caught sharing.
The Mom's all had great conversation as always! Kerri is off to a trip, Meridith is painting her Kitchen, Pam has got some business again, Emily is going to find out what she is having next week, and Bianca and I are setting up some scrapbooking time while Pete is away in New Jersey next week! :-)
Next week we are off to EMILY and JULIA'S HOUSE!
