Yesterday's condo

I think the constant sleep deprivation is finally catching up to me. I just wanted to go btb for an hour this morning and managed to sleep like a baby for over 3 hours. I woke up surrounded by cats who were convinced that starvation was imminent since their +3 snack was already 30 minutes late. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Mandarin and Walter were hungry after their impressive tandem dive this morning.

It's definitely good day to stay in bed though. We got around 8 inches more snow already and it's still snowing. Luckily, the temperatures aren't too bad yet, so I might take the pups for a walk. By tonight, it's supposed to go down to -15 and I doubt that we will be able to spend much time outside the next few days.

Hi Christina - I'm in town - was about to go out with the snowblower but my neighbor's son beat me to it
I may be here this week, so if it is not too bad, let's do something (once you catch up on your sleep that is)
from the way your boys' SS look, as I said, I want to breathe some of that air in your house to bring back for my boy

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Wow I'm so impressed with the boys' numbers lately although I've told them a few times, as I know you have, that 50s just aren't necessary!
Hopefully you can get out for a walk before it gets too cold!
Have a good day Christina!

Looks like you will have a busy day. Take it easy boys.

Seriously boys?! You need to give your momma bean a break! She needs some quality sleep so she can keep giving you your yummy foods.

 

[Gussie's mom (GA)]

Surf safely there Boys! Tho your mama Bean caught a nice 3 hr nap there's no need to spend those newfound reserves quite so quickly for her!

I hope the boys are surfing safely for you. I bet it felt good to get that long nap in.

 

[Doodles & Karen]

Look at your boys! With 8 inches of snow and sleep depravation I sure hope you took the opportunity for more nap/snuggle with the critters time.

Yes, I did. I took the pups on a walk before the temperatures started to go down even further and then I did nothing but play with the kits, read and watch TV - it was lovely! Iris really is the best snuggler in the world, but everyone enjoyed having their bean home and not buried in a stack of papers.

After the big drop early in the cycle, both boys had totally uneventful cycles. Walter's pancreas must have panicked a bit and he ended up back in yellow and Mandarin pulled off an awesome green surf.
