Monday

Today the kids spent time out front with our neighbor kids Shaylee, Shayla and Kyle.  Apparently Kyle's sister was drunk and tossed the family cat out of the car (what the cat was doing in the car in the first place is a mystery) and the family cat hasn't been seen since. The kids went door to door in our neighborhood asking people if they've seen the cat and offering a reward of $35 for it's safe return.  Jenea came in and drew many cat pictures to post up around the neighborhood to help in the effort.

Today was a sad day in our family.  We took apart the trampoline and got rid of it.  It was falling apart.  We are on the lookout for a larger one because the kids were getting too big for this one anyway.
