Dinner Less

This afternoon Mamma Kat had a long meeting. So it was me and the small cats at home. Little Kat was supposed to cook us some dinner. He said there was nothing to cook. I put in a call with Mamma Kat.

About an hour later, Mamma Kat called me. She told me to have Kit Kat cook us up some Frankenfurters. They are a recipe from Rachael Ray. These are hot dogs wrapper in crescent rolls. They look a little like pigs in a blanket.

Those dogs were good. Cats like to put away dogs by nature. But I guess we were all hungry by the time the food was done. We all watched some anime on cable tonight. And a few of us celebrated by eating ice cream and leftover birthday cake. Time to go shopping to fill the cupboards.

Camping Weekend

Mamma Kat and I decided that we would go camping last weekend. Kit Kat was not happy with this, since it interfered with her birthday plans. We trumped her complaints. However we did allow her to invite two other cats from her school to join us.

Kit Kat and her friends stayed up very late the night before camping. So it took them a while to wake up. We all went to eat a good breakfast at the Silver Diner. Kit Kat got some strange drink to go with her breakfast. I thought it was a fancy chocolate milk.

We packed up the back of my truck. Then we formed a Caravan with Mamma Kat's new car to a camp site I had reserved for us. We found a square pad filled with gravel. As we started to put together our tents, we noticed we were missing tent poles for our main tent. Little Kat and I took the truck back home to retrieve the poles. We also drove the truck to buy some firewood at the camp site. Little Kat was in charge of building cooking fires for the weekend.

As we settled down to play some games with Kit Kat and her friends, it started to rain. We then decided to put the rain proof part of the tent over top of the tents. The only problem was that we were missing that for the main tent. Mamma Kat scrambled to tie together a make shift rain fly to prevent us from getting soaked. Then fun was only just beginning. Some wild band of boy campers next to us broke out the guitar and played in the rain. Nice huh?

Crossover

Today Little Kat went from being a Kitten Scout to a Cat Scout. He earned the highest rank he could. I am so proud of all his hard work! GOOD JOB!!!

Birthday Celebration

My boss is out of town. In fact, he is out of the country. So I am doing my job and his. Therefore I had to get in early today. The only good thing about getting in early was that I could get a lot done. In the mid day, a lot of people visit and call me for help. So progress is slow.

Since I got such a good head start on the day, I was able to leave a little early. I got home and it was still bright. Whenever this happens, I go out to work in the yard. After a while, Little Kat came out and helped me. Even Mamma Kat came out for some support.

Kit Kat would have helped. But she was getting the house ready for her friends. Two of them are spending the night. Tomorrow we all go camping together. After dinner, Kit Kat and I opened a bunch of gifts we received. I got a number of books, shirts, videos, and other creative gifts. I'm not going to say how old I am. But I am no spring chicken any more.

Lil Kat in a Pup Tent

Little Kat has to prepare for camping with the Boy Scouts he is joining. He needs to be able to carry his tent to a site and set it up by himself. There is no way Little Kat can handle out massive 7-man tent. So Mamma Kat bought him a little pup tent.

Now I have not seen this thing yet. Little Kat says it is called a 2-man tent. However Mamma Kat said it is barely big enough for Little Kat. He set it up in the back yard tonight. And now he plans to spend the night out there by himself. That sounds like a bold move. We back to woods. Who knows what type of predators roam back there.

In more positive news, Little Kat and I borrowed some wood glue from my dad. We disassembled his broken musket rifle. Then we applied the wood glue. We put the gun back together. Then we formed a cast around the gun with duct tape.

Delivery Man

Today I went out to lunch with my friend at work. We went to our favorite Chinese food restaurant. It had been a while since we were there because I was on vacation last week.

Mamma Kat warned me she would be at work and then school all day. It was those darn meeting and late night classes again. So I picked her up some Chinese food to go.

I had to pick Little Kat up from school. That was good because he usually does not get home so early. Before I went to my own college class tonight, I bought the kids some Pizza Hut pasta. It came with some delicious bread sticks. We need to go shopping and get some food to cook. Maybe tomorrow.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today the family went over my parents' house for Easter. Kit Kat cooked us up some of her famous devilled eggs. We brought some plastic eggs to have an Easter Egg hunt there as well.

My brother and I hid the plastic eggs in my parents' back yard. This year we decided on a short egg hunt. So we placed 20 eggs in some tricky spots.

In previous years we gave Little Kat a head start so Kit Kat would not find all the eggs. This troubled Kit Kat before. Since Little Kat is growing up, there was no handicap. They both went out full force to find the eggs.

After a mid-day Easter dinner, the family sat down to rest. Little Kat seemed to still be overflowing with energy. So he went to my parents' basement and worked out on the stationary bike and treadmill. We got a bonus in that my dad loaned us some wood glue to help repair Little Kat's musket that is broken.
