Skittles

Introducing the newest member of our family:

Skittles!

Why, yes, I am aware that our beautiful BLACK cat is named after a bright, rainbowy candy. :) We think it's a perfect name for her. Julia was BEGGING me to take a look at this cat. A friend of hers in her class found this kitty a couple weeks ago. It was lost/abandoned. So they took it but planned on finding a home for it. They're moving back to the mainland in a week and were putting word out that they had a small kitten to give away. Julia's friend told her that she could have dibs. I'm such a sucker when it comes to cats. And I've been wanting one, too....so of course we went to "go look".....and came home with Skittles.

Part of Julia's begging consisted of "I'll feed it, take care of the kitty litter, sweep, change it out....PLEASE??????!!!!!!!!!". She also insisted that she needs to read to Skittles, too. So they're delving into Fablehaven #4 together.

Ahh, Julia's reading to both of them. I LOVE that my children LOVE books!
