We finally had a nice day. It seems like we get one nice day a week and weekends are usually NOT one of those days! We went to a park with Matt's family and had a picnic and let the kids play on the playground. Prior to that, the kids enjoyed playing on their swing set. When we arrived home, we visited with my sister and my parents on my sister's porch. The kiddos enjoyed playing in the backyard until dinner and bath time.
The biggest moment of the day was the discovery of a cat. Matt was opening our side door, when he noticed a black and white cat on our doorstep. It was meowing rather loudly so Matt gave it some milk ( I know! I know! I know that we shouldn't feed strays but we felt called to do so.) And boy was it a treat because she left after a few slurps to get her BABIES! Yes, she is a Momma cat and her two little kittens came to drink the milk as well.)
Matt discovered that they are making their home under our blue shed. A ground hog dug a hole underneath it and once it disappeared, the cats have now made it their home as well as exploring the inside of the shed. The kittens are adorable and I did get a pic of the Momma cat. Cody stroked the cat before we had a chance to tell him not to since it was a stray. The momma cat let him pet her so I was so surprised! Cody is such an animal lover and would LOVE to have a pet (we can't have any pets because we rent). Poor boy will have to wait a few more years until we buy a new house. We might compromise with a gerbil or two. It may be a good behavior bargaining chip.
Overall, it was such a nice and a promise of a wonderful summer yet to come!
