Last night Spencer took Rydgeman up to bed.
A few minutes later he yells down the stairs...
"Did you know we have a new
member in our family?"
I was pretty sure one of Ty's friends was hiding in a closet or something...
but I was wrong.
Kyle and Rydge had "rescued" a kitten yesterday.
Instead of looking for it's rightful owner,
what do they do?
The hang a rope out of their two story
bedroom window, lower down a laundry
basket, and haul the kitty up to
their room.
Then they play with it.
Apparently it had free roam of their room most of the day Sunday.
When Kyle heard Spencer tell Rydge
it was time for bed,
he dashed upstairs and hid the kitten in
his. dresser. drawer. seriously?
Needless to say - kitty wasn't too happy
with it's new accommodations and
started making a racket.
At first my babe thought it was a critter in the attic.
Rydge finally fessed up. That's when Spencer brought it downstairs.
To top it off - they thought they had the right to keep the dang thing.
Maddie opened up a can of canned beef (? for a cat?) and Ty made a bed
for the animal. I had to get mean and insist they return it to it's rightful owner.
Yes - they are going to start begging for a kitty.
No - there will never be a cat in this house
as long as I'm running the show.
If I come up missing
you'll know they chose the cat over me.
P.S. Daphne is TOTALLY on my side.
