Molly

This weekend we got a cat!  The kids have been begging for a pet, especially Amelia.  She has always loved cats and wanted one to cuddle with her.  It took about a week for Joel to give us his answer - he had a few reservations but the kids were able to clear them up.  So on Sat. we ventured to the Roanoke SPCA and adopted Molly.  She is 6 months old and loves to run around and play.  

The deal is that each week one of the kids is in charge of cleaning out the litter box.  Another kid will be in charge of feeding her.  And the last kid will sweep the kitchen and living room floor every day.  I am writing this her so I have proof of the contract.

After we got home, the girls kept saying, "Is this a dream?  Do we really have a cat?"  They were so excited!  And when we told Amelia that we were going to get a cat, she was oddly silent.  After a few minutes she said she was so excited that she couldn't talk!  The girls want to stay home from school so they can play with her and Luke loves taking care of her during the day.  I think she might get a little overwhelmed when everyone is home and trying to play with her, she tends to look for hiding places.
