Kung Fu Falling Apart

Kit Kat had made plans to see Kung Fu Panda with her friends this weekend. She was going to have Momoko drive some of her friend to the theater. Others were to get a ride there. Today was the movie day.

After breakfast, Kit Kat came down and said all her plans were falling apart. The people getting rides were unable to arrange them. One friend suggested they all just walk to the pool. Momoko approved this change of plans.

Little Kat suffered a bit because of the changes. He was going to tag along to see the movie. Now his plans are up in the air. He might go visit one of his friends, or perhaps eat dinner with Momoko. The only part of the plans that has stayed the same is that Kit Kat's friends are sleeping over at our house tonight.

Birthday Weekend

On Saturday I figured it was time to get serious about eradicating these dandelions. I went back to pulling up the roots. When I finished the latest batch that had popped up, I started filling the holes with fertilizer and dirt. Then I spread out some grass seed.

I got done with about a third of the lawn. It was some backbreaking work. During my lawn labor, Kit Kat's guests started arriving for her overnight birthday party. My yard work took over 6 hours on Saturday. So when I got inside, I just wanted to rest. Kit Kat told me they had an emergency. One of her friends lost his ride. He needed somebody to go pick him up.

Now Momoko was busy greeting the parents of guests that showed up. Kit Kat was also required to stay to greet her guests. That meant Little Kat and I took a road trip. Luckily I had dropped Kit Kat's friend off from school a number of times. I knew exactly where he lived - the other side of town. We got him and headed back to the party.

The highlight of Kit Kat's party was opening her presents. She got some card from Momoko that referenced "Twinkies". Kit Kat thought that meant she was supposed to go to Momoko's car. However the envelope directed her to look under our bed. Kit Kat's friends thought the gift might be a gigantic Twinkie suit, or maybe a little dog named Twinkie. It turns out Momoko got Kit Kat a new laptop for her birthday. Kit Kat was so happy she was crying.

Knock at the Door

Today I had to work late. I found it strange that Momoko's car was not in the driveway. However the kids were at home.

Kit Kat said she got home first. Her bus is usually the first one here. Then she said a strange car drove up to the house. And there was a lot of banging at the front door.

Usually we instruct Kit Kat to not answer the door if we are not home. However she peeked out and saw Little Kat out there. He got a ride home with someone other than Momoko.

We now need to find Little Kat's house key. I don't want to have to change the door locks again.
