Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Edition

Hello felines and their humans! Winston kitty here today with a new "friend" to tell you about Mom's tree decorating party this past weekend. Mom has her second bad cold this month. She is very tired and keeps losing her voice which isn't as fun for us felines as you might think. *sigh* She has given me, Winston, permission to tell everybody what happened on the weekend.
First, Mom wanted to have this party late in November but some of her family couldn't make it, then. She therefore decided to put up the tree earlier than usual to accommodate everybody. The Mom and her clan do what they like to do when they get together : restaurant breakfast!

They went to a lovely restaurant, not their usual, and had a hearty breakfast. This breakfast of French toast and fruit salad looks good to the humans but---- where is the meat? As a feline, I think there should be meat. Anyway, after breakfast, they headed out to the nearest Chapters bookstore. Mom recently received a gift card for that store and she was looking forward to being frivolous! Here are some photos of some of the things Mom liked that day

Mom loved this card. I fail to see why it's so amusing to her.

This is Mom's favorite tea in the world. She didn't buy it, though, because she already has lots still at home.

Here is my new friend whilst he was still at the store. She hasn't bought a stuffed toy in ages but she was twiterpated.....

This is something else Mom thought was fun but didn't buy. Again, Mom's sense of humor confounds me!

Finally, something worth looking at in my opinion! Yes, I would like this so I could hide from Oscar and Emily!

Something else Mom gazed at with longing...Christmas dishes!

They finally headed back to decorate our teeny tiny tree. Emily found this extremely fascinating! She was snoopervising the entire time they decorated the tree!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Monday and stuff

Hello felines and their peoples,
"Tis Emily this morning to report on our goings on.....Mom likes this photo of me except for the whole glowy eye thing. I'm not certain she will every get things right when it comes to taking our photo but we will make sure she keeps practicing!

She recently went on yet another walk through the park. The clouds looked ominous and the wind was cold. Brrr......

The other morning she woke up, opened the curtains and saw this....a light dusting of snow! She said seeing the white stuff makes her want to go out and take pictures. Not us, though, it make us want to sit in the window and soak up a sunbeam.

Here is Oscar trying to show Mom how it's done. Doesn't he look happy just soaking in all those soft, golden rays?

Wobbly Wednesday

So-we spoke sternly to Mom. She can't NOT post photos of us felines. After all, that is what this blog is all about, right? The picture of us is a bit fuzzy. Mom was so excited to have all three of us in the same area that her hands were shaking with excitement. This is the least fuzzy of all the photos she managed to snap before Emily ran off!

Mom included this photo because we told her too. This squirrel looks extremely plump. Mom saw him at the park and had to tell him she had no treats for him. We think Mom should invite him over for a nice friendly chat with us (heehee) but she said a very firm no. Spoilsport.

Here is an owl that Mom bought for a Christmas present. She said she knows somebody she thinks will like it--this a goth cute owl. He is a desk buddy and will help this person study. WE thought it would be a lovely toy to bat around until it ended up under something like the sofa. If she wraps it anytime soon she just best keep her eyes on it.
