Ayla and Bandit

Yesterday Krista (my roommate) brought her cat home with her. Bandit is a two year old camouflaged black cat. She for the most part is calm and friendly, oh did I mention she hates Ayla! Or is terrified of her. Either way it is pretty funny, cuz you see Ayla is a little kitty but she is not afraid of any big cats or anything really. But the whole night was filled with hissing and Bandit running and hiding.

Oh on another note still with the cats but way cool. We made a hidden litter box. I was online researching how/where to put my litter box because the apartment/bathroom is pretty small and there is no real place to put it. Well online they had an idea but is cost like 200-300 dollars and lets be completely honest I am poor! So Josh suggested that we take part of the back off of a cabin/hutch thing that was donated to us. It works amazingly. The cats walk in and out of the back of the cabinet and you can't smell it!! Yea! Plus it gives me an extra table to sit things.

Scavenger Hunt and A Wacky Wardrobe

So tonight we had the "Armor of God" Scavenger hunt! We were suppose to do this last week but with the key complications we postponed it until this week. The kids loved it. The teams were divided boys vs girls and there were random pieces of "armor" basically crazy stuff. The list is as follows: Belts from robe, dress shoes, coyboy hat, apron, foam noddle sword, paper shield. It was lots of fun. Each clue was a riddle, some were easy and others were a little more of a challenge for the kids. After each team collected each of the items they chose a solider and dress him/her in the armor and then attached the titles to the articles (belt of "righteousness") We had some great outfils and once finished with the lesson the kids took most of the armor and played with it out side! Jeff was great he had the sword and was running around shouting "I will cut your lies Satan" and other similar sayings.

Ayla has arrived!!

Ayla is my (and Josh's) new kitty. Ayla is about 9 weeks old and has a yellow and white coat. She is super cute and tons of fun. Josh and I got back to Columbus around 2pm on Sunday. We were greeted by our new kitty! ~Background on Ayla's week: She arrived at my parents house on Tuesday, covered with dirt and fleas. She was found outside and was super bony. My parents gave her a flea bath and fed her. The first night my mom was not sure she was gonna make it, because she just laid there not really moving or eating. But by Thursday she was running, playing and eating very well. ~ I left for the Bridal shower and Josh took a nap. He was really not feeling well. We played with the kids and the kitty Sunday night. Monday we drove back to oxford. That was a fun trip with a kitty that wants to climb under your feet that whole trip. After we got back Josh and I had a meeting to go to and some shopping that needed to get done. After all that we came back to play with Ayla. She had been sleeping all day and really did not want to play. We while I was typing she began to trow up! No good. Well now she is kinda laying around but acts like she feels a little better!

Crazy Day!

So we packed up all of the luggage and were ready to go and what happens, I locked my keys in my car ahhh! So I had to wait for the nice police man to come and unlock the car!! Once finished with that mess I headed to Miamisburg to pick up Josh, who has been at camp for the past week. And who is sick! Great have not seen him in a week and he is sick! It was a crazy drive up. We (the nine of us, Josh, me, Kara, Ricky, Christina, Beth, Betsy, Alyssa, and Alex) arrived at the cabin around 11:30 only about 3 and 1/2 hours later than I had planed. But that is life I suppose. The cabin was great, we all fit quite nicely and no one really complained.

At the park: Well it was a wonderful day to be out and about minus the fact that is was super sunny and pretty warm. We spilt into two groups the girls went there way and Josh, Ricky, Christina and I went ours. We rode some big rides and some smaller ones. For lunch we had packed sandwiches!
Alright fun stories from the day!
Dinner: we ate at the Game Day Grill, I had cheese fries and the guys had burgers. Not real random but you see on each plate they served a strawberry as a garnish. I mean I love strawberries but it was just really random to have one served with my cheese fries.
Josh and his illness: So Josh is still sick! Saturday was his runny nose day and we went through 2 packs of tissues, 3 or 4 bathroom stops for toilet paper, and a few napkins. But at this point in time we were in line for the raptor and there was no real way out of the line so Josh's nose was a running and we had nothing to serve as a tissue. So he tried a map! It did not work out so well for him! It was more of a smearing mechanism. So it was getting bad! and we were running out of options. So me being the super amazing girlfriend gave him my undershirt. Ok it sounds a little risky but it was very discrete! I promise. But you see later as he was using the undershirt as a tissue we realized that it kinda made him look like a perv. Not that really anyone had seen the whole thing take place but it was just really funny.
