Stage 2: new cabs with some old counters

We are in Stage 2, otherwise known as "Living life with new cabinets and the new countertops aren't ready for 3 weeks..." Ha! For those of you that have been there before, you can all probably sympathize. Totally not fun with a 2 year old who totally freaked out when she came home and had nowhere to wash her hands... She did have fun brushing her teeth in the bathtub though! Brett has been a very good boy ripping out all the old stuff, setting up stuff temporarily, and entertaining me through the many hours at Home Depot. New appliances come tomorrow. Totally excited about sitting here all day tomorrow for the 4 hour time frame from 2 different stores. I guess I shouldn't whine about getting new stuff but I will be happy when all this is over!

The first one...

Natalie officially has her first black eye. She had a little mishap with Buttercup, a.k.a. Buttersnut, Nutter Butters. This is Grandma Bidegain's cat. Buttercup has been getting a little mean lately and I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that she has been tormented for 3 years by Teala and Zoe and now for the past year, her biggest fan is Natalie. Natalie is 2, what can I say? She loves to pull her tail, poke her in the eye, and "pat" her not so softly and tell her she is a nice kitty. Well this run-in left poor Natty with a big black eye which now is 4 or 5 days old and turning a nice shade of purple with green and yellow undertones. I burst into tears when I picked her up from Nana's house yesterday. Poor thing had to get antibiotic eye drops and her little eye is all red. Very scary...
