Welcome and our newest arrival

I see you've made it to my new blog URL. Welcome!

In our house, we've welcomed this guy:

This is Tigger, Anne Marie's new cat. She also calls him "Potato Eye." My grandmother recently needed to find homes for her cats. We took this one.

I thought Anne Marie would be disturbed by Potato Eye. She is obsessed with eyes and mouths and has a lot of fears, so I thought this might be another one. I even gave her the choice of another car- she picked Potato Eye. She absolutely adores him. We weren't too keen on becoming a three-cat household again, but in the end, we adore him too.

On another note, we went to Applebees on Wednesday (99 cent kids meals), and Anne Marie wanted a balloon animal as we were leaving. The balloon lady instead gave her a full fairy princess costume made from balloons, complete with a gigantic wand.

Against my better judgement — Thomas always tries to bite balloons and I have to be constantly on guard for potential choking — Thomas got a dog on a leash.
