J pulled out an old electric fence today, and painted and installed shelves in the new building. He also cleaned a humongous fish-tank that had been sitting outside for years! When the fish-tank was bleached, rinsed and dry, J and our boss moved it inside the building.
Our boss picked up a set of superballs specifically for Willow and Sally! The girls make awesome leaping catches. I wish I could get some action-shots of those jumps. It is humorous to see Willow (usually a slug) jump-chase after the ball. She just gets ready to grab it with both paws, and it bounces away again.
We dropped a superball into the fish-tank, and introduced the kittens to the 'glass box.' This was a frustrating experiment for them. I have concluded that Willow is smart. However, she is usually too lazy to show it off!
Willow understood that the ball was inside the box after a few bounces.. eventually climbing up on top of the edge, and then into the box. Sally kept thinking the ball would magically get out and continue going in the direction it was headed. Poor Salamander! I really thought she would catch on to this, seeing her monkey-like ability to open doors, cupboards and turn on faucets.
**drumroll** I got up at 7 this morning! And, I was out the door before J! We'll see if this lasts. He plans to get up at 6:30 am on the weekends too! At least we know we will make it to the library on Saturday.
J and I are ordering seeds for our garden tonight, and I am baking an apple crisp. We might attempt a puzzle if the kittens don't steal the pieces!

Chris - I showed Miss I. at work the picture of Chaos 'looking innocent.' She said he looks like a little sweetheart ;o)

Ha! Ha! He looks like a kitten that will grow into a cat who will hear, "Get off the table! No cats on the table!!" every single day for the rest of his life!
Um, yeah, I gotta hear how the 6:30 am on the weekends goes...
Poor Sally. She and Diablo would probably bond, whereas Chaos and Willow would have quite a time. They could teach each other bad things...
Sounds like a lovely evening!
By your title I was excited for you... maybe a chance to sleep in!! But I see the plan will continue. I am sorry, it is hard to get up early. I would have no idea what it would be like for Kyle to get up before me, He probably only has a dozen times and only to go fishing. That would be a dozen times in six years. At least he no longer goes to bed at his 2-4am bachelor time anymore... I couldn't handle it. Have a great weekend!
Willow was very VERY upset she was not allowed to eat puzzle pieces. J and her had a 'conversation' about it. Eventually she commandeered the empty bottom of the puzzle box and looked annoyed for the rest of the night.
Diablo was very cute! Maybe he became less of a little devil as he grew up? ;o) causing his horns to fade?
Or perhaps it was the few brain cells he has evaporating and removing the horns... :) You reminded me that I have a really funny picture of D and Riley I should post...
I am well familiar with that cranky cat expression on the thwarted and martyred cat!
Eww! I'm playing fetch with Chaos, and he just brought me a mouse that he marinated in his water dish...
Chris - He thought you needed a little variety!
Rhiannon -- I did sleep in! J tried to wake me up, BOTH kittens tried to wake me up... but I didn't budge until 9. However, I haven't decided if this is a triumph or a defeat!
