hear us roar.... !

no...we do not mean merv....we (matt, ash, & grandma) went to see LION KING! the first word that comes to mind is fantastico! it was worth every penny...and it took quite a few pennies! matter's favorite was the cheetah, i loved the giraffes. my grandma loved the voice of rafiki. i would go see it again in a heart beat and i'm very glad we had the opportunity to go.

matthew got 85% on his econ test {which i hear is a pretty tough class} and merv and i are very proud of him. he has lots of studying and tests and student stuff each week, but he is keeping up really well. he is also practicing his guitar more and more lately...i am starting to make out more than just noise!

i had easy mac and dino-shaped chicken nuggets for lunch....with a snack pack. but, i read the da vinci code at lunch so i do get some adult points! it's taking me a lot more time to read than most books, and i have to re-read a lot of parts to grasp what is going on...but i am enjoying it.

we found merv in the sink tonight...that little imp! the good thing about merv being big enough to jump on the counters is that we almost always do the dishes after every meal so mervie can't get into it. every time he jumps on the counter we squirt him like there's no mañana and he jumps down and spends the next 40 minutes licking himself...i really do think he is learning! haha the squirt stream seems little to us, but to tiny merv it's like a sonic-charged-super-soaker.

i can't stay mad at him...just tonight he crawled up on me, cuddled his adorable little face next to mine, and starting purring before he drifted off to sleep. that little guy just melts my heart!
