Smokey

The girls finally talked their daddy into letting them get a kitten! Lexi goes to Jake and Christy Hillis' every Wednesday after school and has the opportunity to play with their animals. When Scott goes to pick her up, he generally visits with Jake for a little bit and lets Abby play with the kids for a little bit so she has also fell in love with their kittens. They have been very persistent and Jake has been very persistent that we should take one as well! After Alexis stayed the night at their house on Friday night she was ready to bring one home. We went Sunday evening and picked up "Smokey". They have enjoyed her soooo much! Our little neighbor, Rachel (5) comes over on Tuesdays to play with Abby pretty often and they wore Smokey out this last Tuesday! Smokey was dressed like sleeping beauty, they pretended to take her to church, dressed her like a clown and pretended to take her trick or treating, they took her to play on the trampoline, (which I'm sure she loved) they put her down the slide about 15 times, in a doll stroller, in a doll bed and so forth. Smokey just kept purring as they played house with her! She is getting lots of love from the girls! Smokey lives outside, however, the girls have her in every chance that they get! Please wish Smokey luck in the coming days at the Allen household!
