Just say "Copies". Why do you have to drag cats into this?

I'm the head of the party planning committee at work.
I also work in accounting and I like cats.
Yes, I am brunette Angela. If only TBS had a beet farm and a cousin named Mose...

Party planning is one of my favorite things about my job! I've spent the last 48 hours working hard on my company's Christmas luncheon...I snapped this while I was there setting up the decorations...

Frosty The Snowman

This week, Aunt Cat sent The Boy a cute Christmas card that plays music.
Specifically, the song Frosty The Snowman.
He absolutely loves it and has played with it constantly ...unrelentingly ...ceaselessly ...every day this week.
I've invested in the largest size Tylenol bottle Costco has to offer.
He's played with it so much that he finally wore it out and this morning, it broke.
He was sad and wanted to know what happened to it...so I pulled apart the card so he could see the little machiney-thing inside.
The phone rang and I ran into the other room to get it, and when I returned to his room, I could hear the Frosty The Snowman song playing.
My initial thought was "son of a..."  and  then I realized that HE HAD FIXED IT.
He had sat there and played with the little machine parts until he could make the song play.
Smart little monkey.

Dear Global Warming,

Thank you for the unseasonably warm weather.
Today we cleaned out the garage and played in the yard...and I rode my bike around the neighborhood.
In Utah.
In mid-December.
Didn't even need a coat.
I feel bad for the polar bears and whatever, but if we could keep this up through April, that would be just...just...great.
Sincerely,
The Happiest Kid In The Universe

Operation Gnome Mercy: Successful

My brothers and I were talking this week and we realized that our sister, Steb, has somehow made it through this prank war unscathed. The freaking crap?!
So, El Jefe and Beans and I went a-gnoming.
The boys left about 17 gnomes in my yard a few months ago. Unfortunately, some have been broken {Used for target practice, dragged behind cars...the Native-American-Tribal-Chief Gnome broke yesterday. He was my favorite and it made me sad. But I'm fairly certain his spirit now possesses the body of a neighborhood cat, although I cannot prove it.}
Where was I? Oh, yes. The gnoming. 
The boys had collected several more, so we had almost 30.
I wish I had more photos, but sneaking around in someones yard after dark does not lend itself well to photography. So, here's the before pic - at my house. Plotting.

The operation was successful - we gnomed her good.
We now live in terror of her vengeance.
Afterwards, we went for Krispie Kreme. Because nothing says, "Hard-core hooligan vandals" like delicious fried dough.
