Happy halloween...

it is 7:11. We have been out, tricked and treated and now we are home. We are now enjoying seeing all the dressed up kids. Kimberly was a witch, and a very cute one at that, and, highlight of her night, she got to wear REAL "lipsticks"... Alex, was Beetle juice, and Ethan instead of being a "pooky pider" decided he was going to be a kid. lol. It worked. There's always next year. Of coarse, what would Halloween on Elm street be, with out trick or treating for the adults?? How about a shot of wild turkey and a beer chaser?? (how bad can it be, really?) That's my neighbor Phil. Gotta Love Elm street. Any occasion is an excuse for a few shots and a few beers. Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Mother's day....you know, the non traditional holidays. Oh, let's not forget President's day. And, I must say, arbor day is way under celebrated.....- just sayin'. Petie is ticked off, because he is now held against his better judgement in our bedroom. He is being held captive, not because I am afraid someone is going to harm him in any way, but last year, he would hide behind the willow tree, and attack the halloweener's. I swear he is manic. I mean seriously. How many cats attack little harmless kids in costumes?? Petie. All I can do is just shake my head.

this is a bit late, but...

better late than never...

When Ethan was sick, he was sent flowers by his grandma. He LOVEd the planter. It is a car, that actually works. The plant is on my kitchen counter, since that did not hold as much appeal (sorry mom). It also had an alligator on it as well. The alliator is on his shelf. the car is played with every day. :)

so....what

aren't

cats supposed to AVOID water?? Silly cat, there was a water bowl filled with fresh water in the kitchen. Was that good enough for Petie?? Noooooooo. He yowled at the back door to go out. I opened it, and he hopped up on the table outside. You can see by the container, it is rather full. it was that was yesterday. The goofy thing paws the water- I mean submerges the paw int he water, then puts his nose in (usually to far, and gets a nose full of water) then he drinks. Part of me would love to be invisible, and just set him off balance to he ends up in the water....
yesterday, he did this with the container of water, then jumped and tried to attack the umbrella. That backfired on him, since that was very wet as well, and he got doused with water! serves him right, for attacking things he ought not to be attacking!

On other news, Ethan seems to have come out of this just fine. Breathing treatments are finished, and he is bouncing around like normal. I can't believe he and Kimberly have birthdays coming up int he next few weeks... amazing how time flies, no??

I need to upload some pics, my friend marlene gave Ethan some of her daughter's pig collection, and his crib is filled, and he needs them all to go to bed at night. Tell Shannon, they are well loved. ALL of them.lol
