Our little artist

This morning was much cooler than it's been, but still gloriously sunny, so we spent half the day outside. We played with the slip and slide, and then retired to the patio the kids painted the morning away. Most of my pictures are of Violet, as usual, but all four of them were painting together.

She painted herself a little moostache in the french style

This is our new kitten, Stinky Toast

He's quite the adventurer

Kitty Kitty is such a good daddy to Stinky Toast, he's patient and gives him a bath everyday. Toasty makes Violet laugh, they're not afraid of each other, even though Violet sometimes picks him up around the neck, and he gets a little carried away with his claws and teeth. He chases the bottom of her skirts and she runs and giggles. It's too cute.

And here are some darling pictures of Ben and Stinky Toast that I took just now.
