Happy Halloween!!!

"Harumph!  I wanted to sit on Gunther's lap and watch basketball!"

"Ahhhh.  Too bad, so sad."

Lucy!

She's mad.  She wanted to sit on Gunther's lap and watch Lipstick Jungle.  But Honey was there.  Lucy refused to sit on the blanket next to him.  So she blocked the tv.  Sat there staring at us.  hahah!

Mystery Solved!

"Oh  yeah, I remember now.  Yeah, Halloween.  What's Halloween?  Rubber band?  Yeah, I think I had it?  Maybe?  I dunno?  Is it rubbery?  What's rubbery?  I'm hungry."

"I have to do all the work around here!"

So...after the Halloween Party 2 rubber bands were missing.  I was afraid Honey got them and ate them...not good.  So I went on a hunt.  Until 1:30am.  I was ready to let it go when I see Natalie chewing on something!  A rubber band!  So I took it away and told her to show me where the other one was.  Nothing.  We've been looking since Friday.  Today, Lucy was playing with the heater vent...being annoying.  I went over and there it was, THE OTHER RUBBER BAND!  Good Kitty.  We can all rest easy, the rubber bands have been found.  Natalie can't remember a thing!

Sound Asleep

Bug...sitting in the sunbeam on the side of the house.  Being all mellow on an autumn day.

"Crows!  Crows!  Crows!"

(note:  Stewie is happy I can get in and out of the window without destroying the mini-blinds)

No more hissing...just staring

Honey:  I can just stare at her and she'll leave and I can have the window to myself!

Lucy:  "Stop staring at me!"

Honey:  That was too easy!  

Little Princess under her blanket!

"I know I just had my squishy food.  But I really really reaaaaaalllllyyy need some chicky on a spoon!  Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze!"

Boo!

Happy Almost Halloween!

Message from the Queen

Dear EB and Lizard,

I hear you are coming over this Friday.  Feel free to bring gifts of Chicky!!!  hehe.  I mean, I've been GOOD!  I haven't chased Lucy in 24 hours.  

Love,

Honey

lol

Someone got a fantastic report card!  Congratulations!

This is Lucy.  

This is Lucy sitting on the OM stone.  

This is Lucy trying to break into the fireplace.  

This is Natalie and Lucy sitting in "time out".

I found Natalie on her hind legs trying to get behind the fireplace screen and then behind the board and into the fireplace.  When she ran I looked in the teensy space between the fireplace and the board and two shining eyes peered back at me!  LUCY!!!  She ran.  She was covered in ash and spider webs.   Honey had a giggle fit at the two youngsters getting in trouble!

Fun with Yarn

"What is this?  Hey, Nats, what is this thing?"

"Oh yeah!  I've seen this before!  It's a, uh, yeah, I had one once.  Um, I don't know what it is."

"Did you put this in my bed?"

"No I did NOT put it in Honey's bed!  I'm appalled you would think it was me!  Not fair!"

"Maybe it just rolled into her bed!  Yeah, that's it!  Don't we look cute and innocent?"  

Saturday Afternoon

"I love playing with this fuzzy ball.  It flys, it bounces, it gets stuck on my belly fur!  Uh, what is going on over there?"

Honey:  "Pfffffft"

Natalie:  "Honey!  Stop it!"

Saturday Morning

Looking for birdies.  Stewie doesn't enjoy me sitting on the kitchen table, but says it's better than the mantel!

Hi EB...how was the game today?

Good News! Climber Found! Good Dog!

Derek Mamoyac, 27, of Philomath was reported missing Monday when he didn't return from what was suppose to be a one-day climbing trip on 12,277-foot-tall Mount Adams, the second-tallest mountin in Washington.  Searchers had been  combing the flanks of the mountain ever since.

Friday afternoon came the word family members and searchers had waited for:  A dog team had picked up the scent of a granola bar Mamoyac had eaten and followed it to him.  He was dehydrated and had a broken ankle and swollen legs but was otherwise in good shape.

(Photo:  Greg Varney of the King County Search Dogs team feeds and praises his golden retriever, Trulee, who followed the scent of a granola bar to climber Derek Mamoyac in rough terrain at the 6,000-foot-level of Mount Adams.)

Friday Afternoon

Snore

I'm NOT on the mantel!

Wow, everything looks weird upside down!

Annoyed

Stewie, 

I did NOT want my nails trimmed!  I am HAPPY you only managed to get 2 nails done.  You couldn't hang on to me!  I am a wild cat!  By the way, pretty funny when I sat in front of the cable box and you couldn't change the channels!  Oh and stop flashing that camera phone in my face!  Sheesh, can't a cat take a nap around here?

Oh and EB, I hope your head doesn't hurt from getting bonked by the volleyball during practice!  Ouch!  

Love, 

Lucy

Poofy

Buddha as referee

Huh...

Well, well.  I think they are only tolerating each other to be on the warm blanket.  

EB's Cat!!!

First, from the floor she jumps to the corner of this lovely table in the basement.

Then, she jumps to the top of the extremely dusty refrigerator.

Then she jumps onto the cabinet next to the refrigerator.  (note the beam she had to crawl under to get where she is).  See previous picture to see how high she jumped from the top of the fridge.

Naturally, she didn't bother to reverse her tracks...she just jumped from the top of the cabinet to that little tiny corner of the bin..then to the floor.

LUCY!!!!!
