Plate-Spinner

Don't worry about me handling the kids, cats and dogs... I've taught 20 or more 1st and 2nd graders or 30 or more 3rd through 5th graders so I'm used to keeping all my plates spinning like in a circus.  And it will be a circus especially since we have rain coming on the weekend!  I've taught Cooper and Kanan to lift up their paws while I wipe them clean but Sierra and Buddy will have to learn the routine.  Buddy will sleep in a crate in the kitchen at night while Sierra sleeps on a pad.  Kanan chooses to sleep in his crate in the family room and Cooper sleeps in our bedroom on a dog bed.  Hunter and Kalani are used to being in the kitchen at night but will have to go back to the cat room with Hayley since they won't want to be with the dogs.  Hayley won't like sharing the room with the boy kitties because they tend to give her a hard time.  They've both been neutered since they were the tiniest kittens but the still do that thing where they grab the back of her neck.  Boys!


Justin will try and post photos on Facebook so I'll grab any I can to post here.  Here's what Justin posted on Facebook yesterday:  "Heading off on my first Eurotrip tomorrow: Zurich, London and Istanbul!  Thank you, Sarah White for shouldering the task of guiding this unsophisticated and uncultured SoCal GuyBroDude around Europe. If you guys don't hear from me in the next couple of days, can someone please call Liam Neeson? Thanks!"  Our friend Chris left him this comment:  "Be sure and take a hike along the Turkey/Iran border. Nice knowing you."  Oy!
