Back to the grind.

After that blizzard, mom finished the semester (Microbiology) and was home with us for a month. (Goes back to FT nursing school on Monday!) That was nice she was home so much.

The week of Christmas, we had another storm so mom, the MIG and the Little Monkey got to stay home on Christmas, instead of going to the MIG's family 2 hours away. The next day, mom's family came down.
They are still waiting to celebrate with the MIG's family.

Like we said, mom starts FT nursing school on the 11th. So, we'll have even less time to blog than we have had. So, it looks like we may be on a long-term vacation for a while. Mom expects to be pretty busy and the Little Monkey will start going to day care full time too.

Have I mentioned that I let him cuddle with me now? He says he's my best friend and he gives me kisses and hugs every night before he goes to bed. When I've had enough, I let him know. (!Conner)

Last week, the beans watched the ISU Cyclones (our namesake) win the Insight.com bowl! YAY! Tonight, they will be cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes in their bowl game.

More snow (4-7") is predicted for tomorrow. On top of the 2+ feet already on the ground! It's been pretty cold here too.

Meow! We'll try to blog if we can!

where did summer go?

Well mom says that this Monday is the "end of summer". We wonder "what summer?" We didn't get much hot this year but that's ok really!

Mom started school again. She is taking her last science class-microbiology. It's the same instructor she had for her anatomy class last spring so that's nice. She goes three days a week-Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. She was sure surprised the first day when she found out she had class on Tuesdays cuz she thought it was Fridays!

We've been hanging out in the open windows, under mom's bed, in the bathtub, in mom's closet, in the basement in our basket...anywhere the Little Monkey (who's now 3) can't get to us. He thinks we are all his friends. Nope. Sorry.

Do you every nudge your bean to get loves then put the bitey on instead? That's what me and Conner have been doing to mom lately. We think it's fun...her not so much.

Lots of things to catch up on around the blogosphere. We read lots of blogs thru Google reader so we can at least try to see what is happening. Maybe one of these days our mom will get off that Facebook thing and help us visit and leave a comment!!

Have a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend all!!

Luvs,

13 things that have kept us from blogging

It's been almost 2 weeks since mom helped us blog. Wanna know why? Here's why...

1. We had some really nice weather-OPEN WINDOW weather. We preferred to sit in the windows rather than blog. (but now the beans say snow tomorrow 6-10").

2. The MIG and the Little Monkey were sick. Then they got better.

3. Now mom thinks the Little Monkey is sick again. He's coughing bad and wheezing. She thinks it's an ear infection cuz those are always his symptoms (and that's what he had 2 weeks ago)

4. School keeps her busy. She's taking 2 classes this time-a speech class for 3 hours on Monday nights and anatomy (again-she withdrew last time) which meets 2x/week.

5. The MIG's mom was here the other day. We gotted some new toys.

6. Mom's mom was here last week.

7. Mom had to watch a little blurpy thing last week.

8. The MIG and mom went out to dinner for their anniversary- a week late. It's cuz everybody had been sick.

9. We've been mourning the loss of some of our kitty friends.

10. We've been hiding from the Little Monkey (Conner, especially).

11. Nothing exciting ever happens so we didn't have anything to blog about.

12. Did we tell you we had the windows open like 3 days in a row? Two days it got to 60*! In IOWA! IN FEBRUARY!

13. Mom's macbook had to fly away for a while. The screen died (and it was only 3 weeks old!) But it flew away and got fixed and she got it back.

We'll probably be sporadic for a while, but we'll be around. Mom has a really big unit to study in her anatomy class so that will take up a lot of time. And she has to prepare a speech for her class on Monday. And to to a wedding (weather permitting) on Saturday. And make supper for some firends on Sunday. *sigh* we'll see her when she sleeps, we guess.

New Year, New Stuff

This is our first blog of 2009! We've been outta the loop, as usual.

There is some new stuff around our house in the new year!

1-The mom bought us a FURMINATOR! WE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! It's the bestest brush thing EVER. Have you tried it? Jesse loves it best.


2-The Mom gotted a new desk. Big whoop. It's inna room we can't go in anyway.


3. The Mom musta been really good cuz she also gotted a new computer! It came the other day. It's small and has a weird glowing light on it that Conner is afraid of when it's on. She says it's a Macbook. She's never used a Macbook, has always used a pc so she is learning. She likes it so far.


4. The Mom starts school again Monday. 2 mornings/week plus 1 night/week.


5. The Little Monkey gotted this kitchen thingy from Santy Claws. it's a good spot to sit on and look out the window.


6. It's not new, but there is snow on the way. And freezy cold rain.


We'll have a quiet weekend. The MIG has to play army this weekend so he won't be around much. Mom and the Little Monkey are going to a birfday partee tomorrow. (well, if the weather is good)

Happy New Year to you all! We need to get to visiting and commenting!
