silly kitties

Any of you who have kids are probably familiar with silly bands- those colorful rubber bands that kids wear around their wrists that hold their shape- When I first saw these, I thought "what's the big deal about this?" I was less than impressed. And for quite some time, no one else in our house was impressed either. Then Brennan got on the bandwagon. He insisted we go down to Caseys immediately after school and he spent his own money to buy a very expensive small package of silly bands... because he had to have them RIGHT THEN.  He began wearing them around both wrists, halfway up the arm, and traded at school. He even traded for a few silly necklaces. I think I would gag having that tight band around my neck, but it didn't seem to bother him. Fast forward a few weeks, several more (less expensive - thank you Walmart) packages have been purchased, and we now have an abundance of silly bands. But... there is a silly band thief in our midst.

That's a racecar silly band-


Brennan was sitting on the couch watching TV when Oreo sauntered in, stuffed his head under the couch,  emerged with a silly band in his mouth, and proceeded to walk out of the room as though he were on some sort of mission.  Upon investigating, Brennan discovered an entire stash of his precious silly bands safely hidden under the couch! Apparently the cats have been stockpiling!



I found this sight especially amusing today. As I walked by their food dish this morning (and those of you who have followed my blog, know they like to place items in their dishes) I saw one of the confiscated items. Now I'm used to seeing a variety of their toys by their food bowls, but WHAT I saw there I found quite comical.
 Look closely, can you tell what shape this band is???                                                                                Yes, out of the plethora of bands they had to choose from, they found the one and only cat one Brennan has and perhaps adopted it as their very own! Silly kitties!
