Trick Or Treat

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Daniel Thomas the Train went trick-or-treating for the first time tonight.  (Well, if you don't count last year when he went to Nana's & Papa's house.)

I tagged along with Daniel, Laura, Kevin & Cristel as they trick-or-treated the neighborhood across the street.  "Thomas" was beyond adorable as he went from house to house.  At one of the first houses, he took his candy and walked on in.  I had to explain to him that we weren't supposed to stay.  

On the ride over, I explained the basics to Daniel.  I told him that he was supposed to walk to the front door, ring the doorbell and say "trick-or-treat".  Apparently he was listening to me because at one of the houses he asked the lady to go back in her house and close her door so that he could ring the doorbell.  Laura seemed to be enjoying herself too.  We all had a great time. 

It's Steely Dan's Birthday!

Sunday Recap (but posted on Monday!)

Monday, October 22, 2012

What a busy week!  Here's a quick recap of my weekend...

Several weeks ago, Scott decided that he was interested in woodworking.  You read that right, several weeks ago! Those of you who know Scott, know that he can pretty much do anything he sets his mind to.  After quite a bit of research, look what he has already made ALL BY HIMSELF!  I'm always so proud of him....
Not too bad for his first project!  He made the entire cabinet for his tools and now he is working on the cabinet doors.  
I serve in eHQ at my church.  eHQ is the volunteer headquarters where we feed and spoil all of the volunteers at our campus.  Tonight (Sunday) I made Baked Ziti for the first time ever.  It was a big hit!  (Look Ma, I made food!)
Blossom loves obedience class.  Despite being the most "energetic" (hyper) of the class, she is doing pretty well.  She's been pretty bummed about the NHL lockout this year though, but she's showing her support by wearing my her Claude Giroux shirt.  Yes, I know, her mom is a Hurricanes/Checkers fan but she is also a Claude Giroux fan.  (I only wear this shirt around the house or to sleep in because I can't possibly wear a Flyers shirt out in public...)     
And finally, Greta is loving the perfect October weather.  Here are a couple of shots of her sitting on the porch this afternoon:
 
Greta thinks this warm, sunny weather is just purrfect for a cat nap!

My Aunt Bobbie sent me a really cool link.  It is to a webcam at the Greenville, South Carolina zoo.  Here's what Aunt Bobbie wrote:

Greenville Zoo is expecting their first Giraffe birth ever any day now--there is a live webcam. The baby is due or overdue. There are two giraffes in the barn or paddock. Only one at a time in each place, as they are being kept separate.
The mother giraffe's name is Autumn and her tail has long hair at the end.
The father giraffe is Walter, and his tail has short hair at the end.

There is ongoing discussion on the Greenville Zoo's Facebook page for more information.
And here's the link; trust me, it's pretty awesome!




Sunshine

Greta found the perfect sunny spot for a bath. 
Now she's ready for a nap!

Lazy Day

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Since I have so many vacation days left for the year, I decided to take a couple of days off work this week and enjoy the perfect weather.  Blossom was outside enjoying the sunshine so I decided to grab the camera.

Even though she is standing in the woods, behind a tree, I tried to take a photo to show you how curly the hair is on her ears.  You may have to enlarge the picture to see...
So far, this is my favorite one today...
 Greta's turn:
And my favorite of Greta today:
