This was one of those weeks where it was busy but it didn't feel like we did anything in particular.

It was filled with running around to our normal meetings, appointments, classes, etc.

I guess first I should update my Pops collection.  After an appointment in another town Eric and I decided to check out the Gamestop and Barnes and Noble for their items.  People must not collect Pops in this town because we found a lot we didn't have already! (I'm saying "we" now because I just have to face the fact this has become Eric's collection too.

We were also able to grab a Walgreen's exclusive.

Here's the status of the collection. I don't think we can collect any more, there's no more room!

We did decide that it was probably time to take a break for a while unless we find more exclusives.

 

 There was also cat cuddling this week of course.  Mister doesn't normally come into our room but he did this week for some reason.  Mister is a quieter, more reserved cat. He decided he needed some cuddles too!

 

Hannah Mae told me my dress looked like the internet exploded and I was inside the Matrix.  I guess that was a pretty good description.

 

Natasha didn't seem to mind, though.

We save our boxes for the cats to play in.  Eric thought these three boxes looked like Olympic podiums for first second and third place.  He put them at the end of our bed and waited ALL DAY to see if we could actually get three to climb on the boxes at once.  Finally, late at night, success!

 

We heard about the status of Quinn's service dog this week.  They have identified a breeder, who has a litter of 8 week old puppies right now!  I have been talking with her online and she is AH MAY ZING.  They should be going home soon as I know the first one went to her new home last night.  Squee!  Quinn is so excited.  She was kinda bummed one she had her eye on was the one the sire's family selected as pick of the litter, but I think she just had her eye on that one because it was the only brown one and easier to pick out in a pile of puppies.  The rest are black and white.  I told her the black and white ones are better for a Harlequin anyway (She wants to name the dog Harley and her name is Quinn).  So we will see what happens next.  We are supposed to get a call from the foundation next week.

  

 The boys had their final swim class.  I think, other than not getting a special snack at the grocery store anymore, they were ready for it to be over. 

Draykey was busy making faces and Ryker was playing with a drain.  Oy.

The big news for this week was that Ryker's birthday was on Sunday. I can't believe he's 9 now!  Where is the time going?  In the morning we had church and a picnic, and in the afternoon had Mimi and Papa over for cake and ice cream.  Ryker was amazed that you can actually have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream ALL TOGETHER!

I did manage to get my feet bitten by a bunch of fire ants at the picnic.  Ouch.  You can see some of the blisters.

Today is Memorial Day but we aren't doing anything special. Emmy and Eric are off gaming.  I'm hanging out with the other kids.  More baseball tonight! Woot!  Just on TV but I'll take it.  While everyone is out at the lake imbibing here's what I'm chugging this holiday.

And those were our crazy days.
