We don’t often get snowfall here at Colehaus. When we do, it’s exciting, maybe not for drivers or snow haters, but for Mom who grew up in the desert, it’s a magical event!

This past January*, we brought a teensy snowball inside to see who might be interested in it. Wouldn’t you know it was Tessa who commandeered the whole thing. Well, mostly Tessa.

And then, Tessa went behind the curtain to take a private bath because sometimes, she’s bashful that way. Bashful… Tessa? Yeah, right.

*tsk tsk* Mom, it’s the end of November. You’re just now taking these photos off the camera?

11/25/2016 – Friday Fun

While Mom’s outside fighting with putting up holiday lights, we thought we’d share our Friday Fun with you. Downstairs in the kitchen, Sunny offers Dad a belly petting in return for his breakfast burrito. Don’t do it, Dad!

Olivia: “”Gee, Dad. I’ll let you pet my belly and you can keep your old stinky breakfast burrito to yourself. C’mon, I got these cute bunny paws here and everything… You know you want to pet the belly.”

Pia: “Remember the last time anyone petted Olivia’s belly? Hope you have enough bandages handy is all I’m sayin’.”

When someone mentioned food, we knew The Squirt would turn up, or in this case, out. Though not like the ultimate beggar cat, Tessa, Viola’s not a beggar… buuuuut, she will make herself available in the off chance something should happen to fall on the floor, or be left in a bag. Sure, it could happen!
