Whew!!

Let me tell you what… running after and cleaning up after an almost 2 year old has got to be one of the best fat burners around. I’m babysitting my grandson today, well.. I was… they just came in the door, and he wore me out in that short time.

I picked up all his toys so I could vacuum and he kept pulling them out. He kept getting right in front of the vacuum and I had to keep moving him out of the way. He torments the poor kitty, pulling her tail or her fur.. getting into her food and water, etc.

He finally went down for his nap just 15 minutes before mom and dad got home. I will enjoy these next couple hours of nap time!

She’s ornery

JoJo is a very ornery kitty. She’s been very hyper lately and attacks almost anything in sight. It’s funny to watch her set her scopes/sight on something, crouch down, wiggle her butt then attack. But it’s not so funny if it’s my foot that she attacks. Her nails are sharp and hurt.

She gets ahold of Benton’s toys and bats them around the room especially balls. Benton has little wooden peg people that she finds on the floor and bats them around too.

JoJo sure does give us plenty of laughs and entertainment.

Wicker Baskets

Wicker baskets can be used for all kinds of things. You can put them on an open shelf unit in your bathroom to hold towels, washcloths and toiletries. You can hang a small one on the wall in your living room, kitchen or computer room to hold your car insurance bills, electric bills and such.

Wicker baskets also make a nice decoration on top of your kitchen cabinets if they don’t go all the way up to the ceiling. They are great for putting kids toys away on shelves in their room. I’ve used small ones to put out wrapped candy on the coffee table and different sized ones for fabric flowers on the dining room table.

Large baskets make nice looking trash cans or laundry hampers. Large oval ones can be used as pet beds or even a temporary bed for an infant (of course you have to put some kind of pillow or padding inside first).

Wicker baskets are very versatile. What uses have you come up with for them?
