Here Kitty Kitty!

We had a visitor this morning.

He's such a sweetie.  I let him in from the rain and fed him a little bit of tuna, it's all I have because I don't have cats.  Then he went in the fireplace, cleaned himself up and after that spent two hours under our tree.  He allowed Zuri to pet him, sat on my lap for a bit and then wanted to go outside for a potty break.
I want to keep him, but I can't.  First, I'm bad with animals.  My kids get fed because they make noise, I've killed about 3 fish because they don't.  This is a pretty vocal cat, but my last one ran away, I think because he was super jealous of the new baby.  Second, I can't afford him.  It's a $300 pet fee, plus he's a stray so who knows how much vet care he's going to need and also, apparently, cats like to eat, so that's another monthly expense that I'm not ready to take on.
So if anyone wants a good sized orange tabby male, about 3-4 years and can get to TX to pick him up, I know a real sweet heart.

WTF

Yeah, we had one of those moments last night.
Nick, the kids and I stayed up late.  I was baking cookies and the kids were wanting a bite.  Aaron ended up passing out on the floor.  I shook him and told him to go upstairs and get in bed.  He wakes up, says, "I have to go pee," and then grabs his toy truck.  He walks into the kitchen (I'm worried that he's going to pee in the dumpster part of the truck) and a few seconds later comes out and lays back on the floor to go back to sleep.  Nick walks in the kitchen and discovers this:

We're still trying to figure out what he thought he was doing.  It had both of us laughing pretty hard and scratching our heads.
