Kitten Time!

Our furry companions have been behaving quite well, much to our relief. They've had their second vet visit and received shots, with only the drama queen (Thor) crying out in horror. Granted, he yells at us whenever we use a sink, so we're living a cat version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

Thor curled up in his favorite spot, keeping an eye on us.

Odin curled up in MY spot, yawning at the exhausting life he leads.

In other news, Heather and I drove down to the Ikea in Chicago last weekend because sometimes I get overwhelmed by clutter and snap. We bought some more EXPEDIT shelves for the living room. We also got some white and green boxes to help us organize. So, we sat down with MythBusters and tried to put together the shelves...

The cats thought they were helping. They weren't. Especially when Odin would pick up the screws and run away with them.

Odin inspecting our work and judging us for the visible hammer marks.

Odin tuckered out from playing chase with us and the screws.

J came over and helped us put together the bigger bookcase while T hemmed pants. Heather and I hope to have more adventures like this in the future, but with slightly less cat chasing and slightly more sibling time.
