Caturday with the Notorious BKL (and her posse: Little BKG + big old Jeremy)

How’s your weekend going? It’s just another Caturday over here in the Mashup Mom household… You know, all the usual stuff: Who best fits into the LEGO box, who knocked that plate off the counter and shattered it, and wait, why are there LEGOs all over the floor?! New kitten Gnocchi is also quite displeased with us every morning and night when we need to give her medicine, and lets off the most pitiful little kitten mews you’d ever want to imagine.

Meanwhile, Miss Lucy has decided that tiny BKG is absolutely filthy. She keeps holding her down and bathing her thoroughly in these marathon 10-15 minute sessions: Note the look of resignation on the part of little Gnocchi here; she has kind of given up and now goes with the flow.

But who would have predicted they’d become friends? I’m pretty amazed by this whole situation. BKL is still, of course, the boss of the entire house — but BKG is full of kitten sass & vinegar and is starting to give her a run for her money. All in all, they keep us entertained. 🙂

Meanwhile… I’ve been so distracted by the cats and the kids that I wasn’t paying attention to my oregano, which started flowering like crazy. On the plus side, though, MashupDad’s bees are very happy with it.

And in this week’s amusing signage, I ordered myself a new chef’s knife on one of the Prime Day lightning deals. It came wrapped in this very useful warning: BEWARE OF THE SHARP KNIFE! I thought this was pretty darn amusing, and then promptly sliced off a large chunk of my own fingernail the first time I used it. At least it was just my fingernail, but this is, indeed, a very sharp knife — which is kind of awesome, since it cut through chicken like butter, but kind of dangerous, since I probably shouldn’t be trusted with it.

And speaking of amusing signage, there’s also this classy football plate I spotted at Goodwill, but did not purchase. We stopped over there this week to drop off several bags of clothes (sloooowwwly cleaning out those closets), and managed to get out again without bringing home anything new. I call that a win-win, don’t you?

That’s all I’ve got today

… I mostly just wanted to share the kitten bath photos to see if you guys find them as endearing and amusing as I did. Now I’ve got to run High School Guy over to pick up his new glasses (as we continue knocking things off the list before he leaves for IMSA in less than a month!).
