Mama Mia! It's a-me! Mario!

 The Hendricks family have been celebrating Halloween all week, and to kick it off, Wyatt had  his pre-school Halloween party. The four year old helped his mother dress tootsie pops as ghosts and draw spooky faces on them. He has also been wearing his costume ALL WEEK. Whenever his mother talks to him, and says. "Wyatt, could you do this, Wyatt what are you doing, Wyatt come here".His only response is........ "No, you mean MARIO, mom".  Aside from the fact he is completely hilarious, this does test one's nerves. Especially when one is trying to discipline.


Identical right!?

But he IS so funny and creative, he obviously gets that from his mother. They went out to lunch as a family today and Wyatt was upset they weren't going to Wendy's. Instead they went to Cafe Paesan. Mario was not happy. Amandah kindly explained to him that Mario is Italian, and that he eats Italian food too.
Victory! Ohh kids are so dumb; they'll fall for anything ;-). He ate all of his Spaghetti (which he normally hates), AND vegetables (because Mario eats those too). Wyatt taught his mother a valuable lesson that day; Mario does NOT eat cucumbers.


Sexy Mario


Maxi Mario
Or
'Toad' as Wyatt refers to him.

So the day passed with no incidents, no excitement, no blood or guts. Just when they thought it was over, in walked Sexy Mario, with a furry little fuzz bucket in his arms... Heaven help them all, they were over come by the cuteness. Those damn eyes.



Sexy Mario explained to Mama Mia that the cat had been abandonded at work in the yard, and that it couldn't be more than two weeks old. Well Mama Mia wasn't too happy, even though the critter was awfully cute, Sexy Mario said it would live in the garage and kill mice. Okay, but until then the thing is scared of spiders. So now what. The thing needed a name, and what did Mario come up with?




Mario. The cat's name is Mario. How in the world are we to keep all these Italians straight!?
So until the day of mice killing, Mama Mia is incharge of the life of this (no doubt disease infested) Mario, ontop of her two other Marios and dog Daisy.  Curse words and filthy abominations!
Then the two (Sexy and Mama) realize the cat hasn't made poopy all night. They research it online. Apparently, if the kitten is not making doody, the mother will lick it's doody areas, and thus stimulate them to make the doody. Well, this translates into...
 "uh Amandah, I'll go get YOU a warm wash cloth. Good luck and good night." 
Mama- "why can't you do it? you brought this cat home."
Sexy-"i'm allergic to cats."

Although VERY adorable


I DON'T want this cat. Do you?!

  5. Alright it goes a little something like this... one day, gma Renza(may she rest in peace) found a litter of kittens. She thought they had been abandonded (correct me if i'm wrong family) so she took them up into a nice warm trash bag and proceeded to drown them in her beautiful california pool. Then after the deed was done, she put the garbage bag in the tin can garbage and put the lid on. I will now say this. My grandma was the sweetest, most gentile woman you would or could ever meet and was only speeding up the enevidable that day. So, grandma was doin dishes or laundry or something, when what pops up around the corner? THE DEVIL CATS! Scared her outta her wits, and the sweet woman always and forever harbored any stray cat she ever came upon again.

  8. Oh my gosh...the adventures you have. I can just picture you with your warm wet washcloth trying to get the little kitty to poop. Good times. :) Wyatt's costume is so awesome! Just last night Patrick and I were singing all of the Mario theme songs...it may be time for me to bust out my old super nintendo.
