It's been a busy couple of weeks. Kenzie started swimming lessons last week, right after finishing tumbling. Her recital was absolutely adorable! All the girls in her class did a great job and it was fun to watch all the other dancers at the school. Kenzie decided that she wants to be a ballerina now. We'll see if she still feels that way next month when registration starts! We had a crazy week of Bible school 5 nights and then tumbling 3 nights. It was so fun we thought we'd try adding another week of Bible school and new swimming lessons 3 days last week! I must be crazy! Here I am running a 3 year old to swimming lessons, oh, and nothing is close by since we are in the middle of nowhere. So it takes approx 25 minutes to get to swimming. Then running her back to Bluffton (another 25 minutes) for Bible school. The poor girl ate at McDonalds 3 times last week. She didn't mind, but I was tired of it! But it was the only thing fast and close.
Oh, and in the middle of that running around. I get a text from a friend that drove past the house and sees that Kenzie's cat, who is (was) very pregnant, had gotten hit on the road. How do you tell your 3 year old that her cat is gone? Better yet, how do you tell a 3 year old who has just gotten over her screaming fear of any of her animals getting close to the road, since her other cat got hit, with her watching. Cats just don't seem to live very long around here. Surprisingly, when we finally told her about Sunny, she took it very well. Her first comment, "When can we get more cats?" I guess I felt worse than she did, and I don't particularly like cats. So on Sunday, a friend brought over a Mama kitty and her 3 babies. All seem to be related to the first cat we had last fall - Pokey, (who met her demise after only one week in the family under the wheel of my car. Pokey II, who came quickly to replace the kitten with bad luck, met Bo, our very playful dog, who does not like cats AT ALL!) These new kittens have an extra toe. Its actually kinda creepy, but at least Kenzie doesn't seem to mind!
Three more nights of swim lessons and then its back to normal - hopefully!?! What am I going to do when Kenzie and Lillia are both doing multiple activities and I'm driving from one end of the county to another? Am I crazy????

We have a 6 toed kitten too. I thought his foot was broken until I looked closely and started counting. It is a little weird to have a mutant kitty. Maybe they'll have extra super powers that will keep them alive longer.
Unfortunately, both Pokies (the ones from last fall) had extra toes. And they definately didn't have 9 lives.
