Vacuum Cleaner Possessed


So, we borrowed a robotic vacuum cleaner from Jeff's parents to see how it would do on our floors.  We set it up and haven't had the time to program it and such so it is hanging out in between our entertainment cabinet and the closet.  I went to pull out the yoga mat and blanket that we use to play on the floor with Emma and left the closet door open.  Our cat Calvin went in to investigate and on her way out hopped on the start button for the vacuum.  I was feeding Emma in our chair and could only watch in amusement as the robo-vac made its way around the little bit of floor that was available to clean.  It bumped into everything, the cabinet, the walls, the basket, everything.  Finally it got caught up on the blanket and sat there munching on the blanket then beeping for help and I couldn't do a thing about it.  It finally gave up and powered down.  It's kind of hard to see in this picture but the vacuum is the round dark gray disk that is eating the upper right corner of the pink blanket on the floor.  You can just see the closet door that is open in the left corner and the chair I was sitting in with Emma in the right.  The cat hung around ready to attack it for a while but then lost interest.  And there is our tree that only has lights on it right now but we will be decorating it tonight, yeah!  Then I can move the decorating boxes back up to the attic.
