Saturday

Oh, I am SO enjoying your input on the SIL/house situation. Each and every comment is like a soothing salve. A balm! Some sort of medicated ointment!

And it's SO helpful to hear all the different angles laid out so clearly.

Cat love continues:

He's resting his head on her fluffy tail.
Her back paws are getting all up in his grill,
but he doesn't mind.

Much different body language in this scene.
Mouse's body language communicates:
"I should NOT have to share my favorite chair
but DANGED if I'm going to be kept off of it."
Feather's communicates oblivion of any political issues,
but on the other hand she's keeping her tail to herself.
Possibly her paw pads are chilly.

Review blog stuff:

French Toast school uniforms: for kids whose schools require uniforms, but also for kids who can wear white/navy polos or navy/khaki pants or cute plaid skirts. The giveaway is two tops and two bottoms, and there are plenty of plain khakis and navy sweaters and white polos in sizes 2T-20 if your kids don't have to wear uniforms (mine don't, and yet I am totally planning an order of peter pan collars and plaid scooters).
