What do you do when you husband shows up at 1:30 AM with...

a kitten???

You go to Wal-Mart the next morning and purchase a $120.00 worth of kitten supplies.

Nathan has been working his rear off at the Pharmacy. They are doing a big remodel and most of the work has to be done at night or on weekends which means we have seen very little of him. I think he was feeling guilty and knew that Marcus has always wanted a kitten so when Jeanie called and said she had a kitten that she couldn't keep because her husband was allergic to it Nathan (without checking with me first) said we would love to have it. When he finally got home at 1:30 AM he woke us both up for the big surprise. Needless to say Marcus is in love with his little Silver.
