Boobie's Birthday

Today was our cat's birthday. As you can plainly tell, "someone" went all out! Anna Grace started the morning by searching for all of the birthday plates, napkins, party hats, blowers, and favors that she could find. I tried to convince her that cats don't have parties. She was having none of it. She insisited that Boobie (I'll explain the name later) have a party plate and napkin and that can food we bought at the grocery store for special occasions such as this. I stopped just short of the putting a candle in the oceanfish medley. Oh well, I regress. I finally gave in. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. We sang a lovely little duet of "Happy Birthday." The cat seemed afraid and tried to hide under the sofa, but once again, Anna Grace convinced her to come out and join the festivities! A delightful time was had by all!
We then spent the afternoon at the wade pool with friends and had a picnic at the park! It was the kind of summer day that makes me so very thankful for children, and pets, and sunshine and tunafish sandwiches (thanks for sharing Stef!) and fresh fruit and cool, cool beverages!!! So much for painting........oh well.......there's always tomorrow........
