Brin, speaking of our cats’ need for sleep, “Macky Boy needs to take a nap or he’ll get a kitty-ache.”

Today Brinley defrosted the fridge, broke the garden hose, and ripped the pocket off Sarah’s jeans. Just a normal day of destruction.

Brin is trying to catch butterflies. She walks around with a little butterfly net, coaxing them with, “Flutter! Flutter!”

Today Brinley decided to give the bees a treat by creating a “bee cafe”, complete with a jar of water and some plant fixings.

Don’t turn your back on Brinley, because she just might take a bag of frozen dinner rolls out of the freezer, place five of them into the microwave, and turn it on for 12 minutes. Word to the wise.
