Invisible Marauder

You know how cats (and especially kittens) are prone to suddenly freaking out and running around all crazy like they're possessed? My Gran used to call this phenomenon "the invisible marauder". Having kittens in the house again, I've been reminded about this hilarious and often destructive tendency of felines.

But Imogen can give the invisible marauder a run for his (or her) money. She loves to get into everything and make trouble. Here she is sitting in a basket.


And here she is wrecking havoc on the tupperware drawer. Her favorite activity these days is taking things out of places and putting them back in again (at least she has the cleaning up after herself gene).


Imogen also loves Elliot's school. I let her crawl about at drop-off time, before things get wild. She usually makes a beeline for the baby dolls (again, she's such a girl!). She also has a fondness for the kid-size chair. In a rare moment of sibling peace, here are Elliot and Imogen cuddling in the little chair at fun school (note baby doll) .

Thomas headed out to Burning Man today. Since they now have a wireless cloud at the event and Thomas has his computer and an air-conditioned trailer to stay in, I've made him promise to send me pictures and updates so I'll have something to post on the blog for the next week and a half (he stole my camera and camcorder). So stay tuned! And don't worry about me and the kiddos. We'll have the company of Aunt Tess this weekend and Bubba Joe all next week, so we are in good hands! Even though we'll miss that Papa.
