Rules of the House
While Kath is gone, all residents (including humans, bears, garden snakes, and occasional bugs) must obey these rules.
1) The making of beds is encouraged, but feel free to leave a cup out on the nightstand, or maybe a Wired magazine.
Extra frilly pillows are optional:
2) Cups may also be left in other disheveled locations around the house:
3) Oatmeal is recommended for breakfast, but toppings may be completely stirred in:
4) Pictures of meals do not require candlelight. Also, paper towels may be used for napkins:
5) It is recommended that you wash dishes soon after dirtying, however, they do not need to be dried and put away immediately.
6) There are no foods that are off-limits. This is especially true for expensive items:
7) Rambunctious bear-play has been extended to two hours of mayhem:
That about covers it!
Tonight I have a Great Harvest employee party to attend. Fondue, a keg of Magic Hat, and good times! More updates as events warrant…
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Love all your posts, Matt!
Lauren says
This post is ADORABLE!
Rika says

Danica says
OMG! Hilarious! I enjoy all of Kath’s posts and yours too, but I can just imagine what she has to say about your posts – too cute! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the week holds.
Brynn says
ahahaha. Love the bears! 🙂
Casey says
I am Cracking up!!!!
Jessica says
Love, love, love your post Matt! Glad you seem to be enjoying yourself. Tonights party sounds fun!
Amanda @ Fake Ginger says
Too funny!
I think that beastly bear in the back of the box has a brother! (say that 10 times fast!) I have one that looks just like him.
Megan says
That is too funny!!!! Keep up the great posts!!
VeggieGirl says
**on the floor, laughing hard**
life coach jen says
You are too funny! Better get those unruly bears (and cups) under control before Kath comes home….
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I honestly snorted at the bears pushing each other down the stairs!!! Awesome post!
Hallie says
Those bears down the stairs are too funny! I have to say though I’d be MAD if I came home from a trip and my expensive grocery items were eaten. Luckily BF doesn’t like my “fancy” food like Greek yogurt or almond butter. I don’t think I’ll ever have to worry about him eating my share 🙂
Mom says
I worried for a minute about my grandbears, until I decided that stair sledding is safe if you are made of fluff. Glad they are having fun!
Kristine says
Hahaha oh how I enjoy Matt’s posts! You two are such a cute married couple! Your house is adorable too!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says
hahahahahahahahah, love the mini-rebellion. have fun tonight. mmmm, fondue!
Faye says
Loved, loved, loved the post! I was laughing so hard after seeing the bears sledding down the stairs! Thanks for a giggle during the end-of-the-weekend blues!
Lori says
Sounds like you are keeping yourself occupied LOL!
K says
HAHA! I loved this post!! The bear pictures cracked me up!
Amy says
Hilarious! 🙂
I can hardly imagine Kath’s reaction to this post. I’m sure it will put a huge smile on her face!
Amandas says
YOU need to DISCIPLINE those BEARS because someone is going to get HURT and its on your watch! Just tell them no honey for dessert! Teddy Bear Protective Services (TBPS) needs to be called!
Ryane says
Hilarious! and a Magic Hat keg sounds awesome – esp on a Sunday!
Karissa says
Haha, I think you’re having too much fun!
Diana says
haha! I love this post! you’ll have to make guest appearances even when Kath returns! too funny!
diana
Lisa says
I don’t understand why people are appalled at the bears’ behavior. I used to do that myself in a laundry basket!
sarah (ghost world) says

Amy C. says

Kath says
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This post had me rolling on the floor laughing!!!!!
And then I got to the bears! How did you get Bocker to stand up so well!?
STILL LAUGHING!!!!
Maria says
With due respect to Kath, this blog would be hilarious if it was Matt Eats. I love that you can playfully make fun of your wife’s slightly-compulsive tendencies (I suspect most of us regular readers have them). 😀 Best KERF post ever.
Alison says
LOL loved it!
Joanne says
Why don’t guys like our extra decorative pillows?!!!!
Loved the post! You’re too funny, Matt. Kath is going to see this and totally get home sick.

Marisa (trim the fat) says
Matt!!! That is soooo funny! Too much craziness going on – Kath is never going to go away again!!!
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
Very cute post, Matt! kath will be very proud!
Sarah says
I need to train my husband to keep our house this clean when I’m gone. Last time I left for a week I came back to find the mug of tea–with the tea bag still in it–that I had drunk to wake myself up before my flight. It was in the exact same in the sink where I had left it, and hubby had just worked around it for a WEEK.
When I pointed it out, he said “I didn’t know if I should hand-wash it or put it in the dishwasher.”
Kath, I know you’re not taking any questions on your trip, but when you get back my question will be “HOW?!!”
JENNA says
All I have to say is …….. LOL x 100000000000
Sanja says
I actually laughed out loud when I read this. And then I read it all out loud to my boyfriend. 😉
Diana says
The bear pictures are hilarious! 🙂
HangryPants says
Matt, This was quite funny!
Heather
Kori says
I’m gonna make a suggestion that while Matt is filling in the blog should be called “Matt Eats Kath’s Food” or “MEKF” so long as he’s consuming Chobani and BB with wild abandon!
Sammie says
This post is awesome – you are toooooo funny. While the cat is away the mice will play. You are keeping the house much cleaner than my hubby would.
capedaisy says
yay for bears. Fondue!!! Makes me think of the restaurant the Melting Pot here in MA.
Susan Fry says
Hilarious! Thanks for the good laugh. Keep up the posts. It’s fun to get to know Kath’s other half a little bit better.
Erik says
HAHAHAHA…you. are. my. hero.
+1 on the no foods that are off limits. P;
greenbean says
HAHAHA!!! I <3 you guys!
Matt, I think you need to include these kind of posts over at B&B. It’s fun getting a peak into your world.
Bev says
Matt, you are the little devil when Kath is away. You post was very entertaining. Have a great evening out with co-
workers. enjoy Magic Hat. I had one while watching Ohio State today. They lost 🙁
gliding calm says
hahaha
Jennifer says
AAAAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!! Loving the post and the bears…can’t wait to read what you have in store tomorrow……ha!
Cammy says
I got the HUGEST kick out of this post, picturing you and the bears giggling over the paper towels and blended oatmeal. ; ) Have fun!
Angie says
OMG I am laughing so hard at the bears. Sounds like you are doing just fine at home. Love fondue, can’t wait to hear about that. Yum!
Kelsey says
OMG.. there are tears rolling down my face!!.. not just “watery laughing eyes”.. actual wet tears!!.. This could be the funniest thing I’ve read ALL YEAR!!
melissa (fitnessnyc) says
totally hilarious!
Buzz says
I hope tomorrow you don’t let the bears stir the outmeal with their paws, without washing them first.
And I hope they don’t decide to write on the mirrors with their mom’s beloved Barney Butter.
Fancy says
AWESOME POST! YOU NEED TO KEEP UPDATING US ON ALL THE “BAD” THINGS YOU ARE DOING WHILE KATH IS AWAY!
Chris says
My 10-year-old, also named Matt, is on the floor hysterical from the bears. I think he’s saying “I wish we had stairs,” but at this moment, I am very thankful that we don’t 😉
TorontoGirloutWest says

Love the littlest bear pushing the other two down the stairs. It’s always the youngest sibling that’s the trouble-maker.
Melissa @ I Never Imagined says
Baaahahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! The bears on the stairs is hilarious!!!!!
