Houswork and Silly Cats

I have had quite a bit going on for the last number of weekends, and as a result, I have felt that I have not been able to get as much housework done as I would like. Today was the day I felt the need (and desire, truth be told) to tackle it. I was able to get S to help me in his room - yes, he also has a floor. I will be taking a full garbage bag full of clothing to the nearest drop off bin. He didn't want me to donate a number of his jeans, but he has grown a lot more over the summer than I realized. (Good thing I kept some of his brother's cast offs.)

After tackling S's bedroom, I decided I needed to do something with the antique tea service given to me by my sister-in-law. I had an idea that would allow me to show off some of my unique tea pots, and I think it turned out well. My thought is that when I am going to use it for tea, I will just take the tea pots off and leave them in the dining room until I am done with the tray.

I think it turned out nicely, and now I will be able to actually see the unique features of each tea pot. Which is something I wasn't able to do when they were on the shelves in the kitchen. What do you think?

When I was putting away the groceries, our one kitten (Lily) was being as blonde as she truly is. We had a number of laughs over her antics, but she just didn't seem to care.

She actually spent a long period of time, just laying in this box. And, no, it's not that big. You wouldn't even think she could fold herself in to this thing. Silly girl - she is pretty much folded in half to make herself fit. (I tried to upload a video of her folding herself in to this thing, but I think the file was too big to load up... Look at me go now - uploading videos...)

Of course, Abby is always a responsible kitten - I'm pretty sure she was the one that got in to the pies - but while Lily had the household laughing, Abby was catching some Fall sunbeams in my bedroom. She is a pretty girl, even though she doesn't have the same siamese markings as her sister.

Homework was pretty much a non-enity today. The A-man did a big of research this afternoon for his next Science project (after I bugged him about doing it), and he claims to know all that he needs to know for the test tomorrow, and therefore has not studied. I guess we will see what the final results are before I say much else.
