The cat is out of the bag...and more notes from a 7 yo

This week has proved to include a plethora of bloggable tidbits about my kids. Well, at least I think they are bloggable!

First off, my kids love to play games where they fill bags/baskets/toy shopping carts with STUFF. Tons of stuff. And, even though I tell them they MUST empty the bag/basket/cart and put all the stuff away when they are done, I have the worst time enforcing it. Usually the stuff is tucked away and we all forget until I do some cleaning up and find said "stuff". Ugh.

So, yesterday, Christina and Kallie were trudging upstairs carrying a HUGE bag filled with (what I thought was) "stuff". I stopped them mid-stairs and said "no no no no", take the bag downstairs and put the "stuff" away.

They sheepishly started back down the steps when I looked closer at the bag and exclaimed:

"WHAT IS IN THAT BAG!!??"

Oh, that? Ummmmm....Nugget?

Yup, my kids were carrying our cat in the bag. UGH.

So we ended last night giving our Christina a serious talk about leaving the cat alone! UGH. And she went to bed remorseful, and woke up and immediately went to Nugget to apologize.

Today was a better day. I took Kallie out for a walk by the lake. It was cold, she liked running around, but wasn't too keen on more pictures. But I snapped a few anyway.

Later in the day, I got out for a run. It was MUCH needed. I have been neglecting my run lately out of pure laziness, but I feel so much worse at night if I don't get out for a bit of fresh air and quiet time. So today, I forced myself outside (in the wind and rain I might add), and it felt incredible.

When I got home, Kallie was in Daddy's lap, obviously getting over a crying jag. I asked what happened, and Christina handed me this:

If you can't understand it, it is a play-by-play of what exactly happened while I was gone. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. And Christina seriously explained to me:

"But Mom, I am just doing what a nurse does!"

Kids! Gotta love 'em!
