Crossword Country

One of Noe's favorite things to do is work on his crossword puzzle book. Amy gave him a big book of puzzles last year for Christmas. I think this is how he gets his brain exercise while he waits to go back to school.

Normally I like to sit ON the puzzle book and chew on his pen, but it is hard to get a good picture from that angle - so I took one from the couch instead.

Giving Thanks

I don't usually eat people food (when offered a bite, I tend to just lick it over and over), but dad's plate of Thanksgiving dinner looked so good I could not help myself. He left it alone while he went to get a beverage, and when he came back I was licking the chicken. It was so tasty! My camera took a picture right as he shoo-ed me off the tray table - too bad you can't see Amy's delicious cooking.

I also took this nice picture of Ralphie watching football:

 

 

I watched the football game for a little bit, but seeing as it was the Detroit Lions, well, it's not like we didn't know the outcome. 

 

All in all, we had a great Thanksgiving! How was yours?

Put your right leg in...

What am I going to do with that Noe? He just keeps getting in my way. Here I am, trying to be an artist, and he keeps getting in my way. Even when I try to get away from him, he ends up in the picture!

Here I am trying to make a break from the sun room to underneath the microwave cart (where the Pepsi box is). I was closing in on my destination when this happened:

Then, as I was trying to move from the coffee table to the couch and perhaps take more pictures of the Guitar Hero drum set (I haven't gotten quite the shot that I'm looking for yet), someone saw the light on my camera blinking and decided to stick their hand in my photo:

Honestly, this is getting old. Can't they just let me work?

Stop bugging me

Ralph eats bugs sometimes. I think bugs are gross. Here he is hunting a bug in the sun room.

Stupid boys.

 

 

 

Costume Party

Sometimes it takes Amy a long time to get ready. This is especially true if she is getting ready for a party. Luckily, it only takes Noe a few minutes. He sits down on the couch to watch TV while he waits, and I get to sit on his lap, even if he is dressed up.

A couple weeks ago, this happened while Amy was getting ready for her friend Liz's Roaring Twenties party. I got some fun pictures of Noe waiting for her, and then a good one of Amy in her costume:

"Buns, are you taking my picture right now?"

"This football game is getting good...

maybe we can skip the party..."

"Are you ready yet? Where is the lint roller?

You have cat hair all over you!" 

Dust Busting

I think Amy needs to clean our windowsills. They are a mess!

 

Housekeeping never was her strong suit. 

Ad Age

I've been thinking that maybe I should feature some advertising on my blog. You're probably thinking cat food or kitty litter, but I like to aim big. So I give you the Nike Swoosh:

Unfortunately, this is not big-bucks product placement. It's just me taking a picture of Noe's leg when he was wearing gym shorts. Still, perhaps it will open the door to some revenue opportunities...after all, with Noe still looking for work, a kitty's got to do what a kitty's got to do!
