I find it ironic that I’m just now writing about last weekend when we’re only a few hours from another weekend beginning.  But, really, later is better than never.  Wait, right?  You agree?

Last weekend, after I got off work, Aviean, Jay / Rose and I drove to Knoxville to pick MacKenzie up for the weekend!  We got back to Cleveland fairly late, so all three of us were off to bed not long after arriving home.

On Saturday morning, after having breakfast in our pajamas, the girls and I headed to see the doctor and by “doctor” I am, of course, referring to Dr. Seuss.  It just so happens that one of our local libraries was celebrating the 50th “birthday” of his books and by now you should know that I’m not one to miss a good birthday party.

Things I would like you to notice about the following picture:

1. Yes, the girls are wearing matching shirts.

2. Yes, the girls are wearing matching hats.

3. No, I don’t have a full wardrobe of matching clothes for them.

4. Yes, Aviean looks very afraid of Thing 1 and Thing 2.  Remember that face; you’re going to see it again in this post.

I actually call the girls “Thing 1″ (MacKenzie) and “Thing 2″ (Aviean) all the time, so it was pretty funny to watch them try to explain to the characters that they also share their names.  All I have to say is I’m glad they don’t also share their hair because I just don’t feel like blue is really the girls’ color, you know?

They had all kinds of stations inside the library where the girls could do different activities, such as decorating green eggs in honor of Dr. Seuss’ classic Green Eggs and Ham book.

Or making birthday party hats since we were, after all, at a birthday party.

They had at least 15 different stations set-up for the kids, including dancing, building things, more crafts, etc.

And face painting, naturally.  What good birthday party doesn’t include face painting?

I found another kitten, too.

The minute I saw these two kittens together, I just knew we were going to have trouble when Snuggles y Cuddles found out that I was bringing home a couple of new pets.

Our last stop of the birthday party was to have our picture made with the Cat in the Hat who, it turns out, was a local female college student forced into dressing up as a pretend cat in order to earn some service hours for a class.  Otherwise known as the worst Saturday morning of her life.

And, well, the worst Saturday morning of Aviean’s life, too.  But can you blame her for being scared?

That’s one sad kitten, my loves.  One sad kitten indeed.
