Crazy Cute Kids

Okay, so every mom has the right to think that they have the cutest kid(s) ever. And, I'm certainly not exempt from this rule. Before church this morning my little ones were visited by the neighbors beautiful white cat. They were so impressed with this white kitty that they followed it outside and spent a good 10 minutes trying to decide what they could call it. Despite the fact that I told them the kitty wasn't ours, names suggested were: Marshmallow, Sarafina, Mr. Giggles (?), Puffy, and Robot or Nemo (Both Brogan's contributions). There were several others but my mind struggles to recall them all. One would have thought that my children had never seen a cat before. When they asked for their own kitty (it was inevitable) I had to tell tem that we couldn't have a kitty now because kitty's don't like to share space and if we got a kitty, the neighbors kitty and our kitty would fight. Remarkably my kids accepted this explanation without argument or debate. Anyway, the cat, as I mentioned, was all white. Of course the kids were all dressed in dark blue. I was pulling little white hairs off their clothes the rest of the day. That was enough to convince me...no cats. No shedding pets for that matter. I know...a cruel thing to determine. I've heard the arguments that are "pro-pet" but I'm not gonna buy it. The kids will grow up well adjusted even if they DON'T have a furry animal to call their own. Besides, we can simply adopt the neighbors cat and all the local wild life. The girls think they have several pet squirrels and chipmunks already. The neighbors cat can visit anytime, especially if it goes home after each visit. The best of both worlds. Anyway, I snapped a couple of pictures. Sadly, the white cat isn't in any of them. And I do think I have the cutest kids ever.
