Jinx vs. Multiple Toys

Jinx-- At least he can keep himself busy!

Snow Day #3

Jinx had a little fun this morning before I went to work. He was begging at the back door to get back out there as soon as I finished giving them breakfast!

Snow Day #2 (Afternoon)

I let Jinx go outside.. He spent a few minutes looking around and playing in the snow. He didn't seem to be too phased by the cold...

He seemed amused so I made a few snowballs and threw them just in front of where he was walking.. It was hilarious! 

I brought him back inside and a few hours later, he was begging to go back out!

Jinx dug a hole where I has stepped and sat down to look up at a bird that had flown into a tree just outside of the yard...

Jinx playing in the snow....

Snow Day #2 (Morning)

It was still snowy today and our court was a sheet of ice. Had the Father-in-Law drive me to work...

Snow Day!

Woke up to a correct weatherman again! This morning the backyard was covered in snow. Looks like there is at least 7-8 inches on the table.
Looked out the front door and the same thing. My car is pretty much encapsulated in snow!
I left the door open so the kids could look out the door. Jinx was rather interested in the snow again!
I set up mu work computer and my home computer as well as my iPad at my desk, and made a cup of coffee and started working from my laptop. I got a few hours of work done!
Jinx was crying at the door, begging to go out. I decided to let him go. I never in a million years thought that he would like it this much!
He dug a hole, sat down, and began burying his paws in the show!
Warmed the little guy up and he fell asleep like this on the blanket that I am making for Terry
Goodnight Sweet boys: Boomer and Spot

Snow, Again!

Hard to believe, but it's snowing, again! 
First casualty of the massive snow storm was one of our yard chairs. 

It was cold in the house, so Jinx was cuddled up under a heated blanket.

Looked out the front door and it was definitely coming down pretty hard. They are saying that it might be a foot or more!

Playing Catch

In the last few years, I have been teaching Boomer how to sit, stay, and catch. For a cat, he's doing pretty well. Jinx on the other hand, is not really quite there. He's seen in the first video below thwarting Boomer's attempt to show Mommy how to catch.
Here, Boomer completed the catch and Jinx misses.... :)

It Snowed!

So, apparently it snowed last night! Woke up this morning and the weatherman was correct! 3-4 inches of snow! Of course, I was late to work, but so was everyone else!








Jinxie was the only one who dared to venture outside. This was his first snow and he was super impressed. He immediately got out there and walked around. Slow at first, but them really enjoying the weather!

Jinx vs. the Nail File

So, our evening ended tonight with Jinx and his need to take out with my nail file. Anytime he sees one, he just HAS TO HAVE IT!!! He's a special boy!

YFU Mid-Year Orientation

Six months down.. Six to Go...

For additional information about the Youth for Understanding program, please go to the website and take a look. It's a great group and I have been involved for a very very long time! Host a student for a semester, a full year, or take a look at the volunteer opportunities.

This is going to be a difficult group to say goodbye to at the end of the year!








Group B-- The Best Group on the Planet!
