Whoops, my bad!

I'm keeping Kathy's cats, Jack and Dusty for a few days. Because of this, the kids are very excited, so I had a hard time getting them to go to sleep.

Finally everyone was in bed, but I kept hearing creaking noises coming from my squeaky floorboards. Figuring it was one of the kids I yelled out, in true Mom fashion, "Who's still walking around out there?!?!" (why do parents ask questions that they know no one will answer?)

No answer. (see!) So I yell some more, still no answer.

Finally I get up, and turn on the hall light. No kids. Grace was still awake, and said, "Mom, it was the cats!"

It never occurred to me that it would be Jack and Dusty! Granted, they're quite possibly the biggest cats EVER, but I had no idea they had enough heft to squeak a floorboard!

Sorry, kids!!!
