Busy busy

DH and DS1 didn't get home till late Friday night from hockey in Perth (and no the boys didn't do well... 5th overall... but they tried!) so that meant that Saturday was to be an easy day.
Just the normal washing and cleaning and then I spent the afternoon matching photos to sketches and paper, so now I have about 20 kits sitting there waiting for me to do the pages and add embellishments.
So of course, what did I do this afternoon.... actually scrapped!!!
and I managed 3 layouts....




And during the week I got around to redoing my memo board...




And the final share is of the canvasses I finally got done last weekend to go on the wall in the entry passage....
Love the way these turned out!




So here's to more scrapping this week!!!!

But finally I can't leave you without a pic of my favourite boy.... I couldn't work out whether he wanted a drink or a swim... lol

15 weeks...

and he's had his first week at home. Gryfn has settled in really well over the last week.
I was a bit worried to begin with as he wasn't eating a lot, but now he's settled right in and running amok!

I thought last night I would weigh both Gryfn and Charlie Brown to see how much they weighed... Gryfn weighs approximately 2.3kg and Charlie Brown weighs 2.5kg. Not bad really considering they are a month apart.
Charlie Brown has been a bit of a bully but they have both sorted themselves out now and are playing together a lot more nicely. There's less meow's from bites... lol

And of course it wouldn't be a good post without some photos...
I took this one the other day of the two of them curled up together on my desk...


This afternoon I let them both out in the cat run to play. I have to supervise as we still don't have the roof on yet but I took some beautiful photos....

This one of Gryfn stretched out shows his beautiful patterning....


I love these ones of Gryfn too...




I love his 'collar' or chinstrap as I call it... lol

And not to be outdone, here are the pics of Charlie Brown running amok on the branches in the cat run...




And Charlie Brown does take some beautiful photos....



I've been really lucky with Gryfn as he loves to be brushed. I pull the brush out every night and give him a quick brush, that way he will be well used to it when his long coat comes in.
Charlie Brown on the other hand, likes to attack the brush. Maybe I need to look at getting a rubber mitt for him rather than a slicker brush!

And Gryfn's favourite past time... watching the goldfish in the fish tank... lol.. maybe he thinks he'll get one one day!

I've spent this weekend spending time with Gryfn, settling him in.
He has settled in really really well. Was a bit flighty for a while but with the kids running amok around the house that's not really very surprising.
For the first time right new he's sitting on my lap. He loves to be with me, especially sitting at my feet or next to me on my desk, but doesn't seem to like being cuddled a lot.
But that in itself suits me, as I'm usually busy doing something and I love the company without having someone or something always on top of me.
i was a bit worried for a little while about how much Gryfn was actually eating as he didn't seem to eat much at all, but it's settled down, and even though he is still eating only a little amount, he is eating. He's just not a pig like Charlie Brown!
I've also discovered that Gryfn likes bacon and also coffee... he had a sampling of my coffee yesterday morning but it was too hot this morning.

He loves to sleep on the bed with us, but at the feet... he doesn't need to be on top of me which is good. Sometimes he will curl up at the top of the pillow, but he's never gone to the kids beds yet.

Both Charlie Brown and Gryfn can't wait for the cat run to be finished. DH just has to get the roof done and it's all set for them to go out there.
I will just need to sort out some shelves etc for them to play around on, but I can at least let them out there without worrying about them getting out.

He's here....

Meet Gryfn

Tomorrow...

at 11.50am Gryfn touches down in Esperance!!!!

I'm so excited... I so can't wait....
