Since we didn't make a good choice last night on how to get Poop Nugget down from the tree we used our "extra life" card to try again this morning...

We decided to throw a rock at him and that sneaky cat played paper! (Haha...Get it?? Rock, paper...) But he was so excited that paper beats rock that he fell out of the tree and got knocked out! So how should one wake up an unconscious cat??

Well, duh! You give him some coffee!! 

Poop Nugget's had a lot going on these past couple days so it's about time we did something fun with him...

Luckily, we did NOT think it was a good idea to take him to a Justin Bieber concert like the high schoolers decided! Instead we're going tank racing!! How fun is that?!

But then, on our way home we spot ANOTHER cat that looks like it could be little Poopy's MOM! Sheesh! Should we take mom home with us too, send Poop Nugget off to be reunited with his mom, blast the mom with our Super Soaker or just grab Poop Nugget and run??

Whelp. Majority rules and we broke out the Super Soaker and I'm sure you can all figure out how THAT ended...Oh well! It was fun while it lasted! (But I think we learned MOST of the students should NOT be given a cat anytime soon!)


So now we finish things up with a little more trivia and our student's last chance to earn points for their team!
