Catnip to the rescue

We've been given so many beautiful flower arrangements and plant baskets throughout the week, our house smells amazing and has never looked better. However, we have two little duds named Gabby and Rufus (our 2 1/2 year old cats) who love to chew on the plants and knock over the vases full of water that our days consisted of chasing them off with a water bottle and packing up all of the flowers and plants and moving them into the laundry room at night for protection.

But that all came to a glorious end yesterday when we brought home a few toys with organic catnip inside of them. Our boys went nuts over these toys and Joe and I laughed so hard as we watched them play and play. I bet Elliott was laughing right along with us. Now, it's as if all of the plants and flowers don't even exist in the house. We were able to leave all of the plants out yesterday and placed throughout the house, not just jumbled up in one room that we could keep an eye on. Thank you catnip!

Our sweet Elliott Faith is one week old in heaven today. We miss you terribly my sweet baby girl but we know you're playing your little heart out in heaven and that warms our hearts today.
