October

October has been a busy month for us. Mommy has been very busy with school. And Daddy has been working 0n pereecting his beach bum skills. Actually he has just found a job, which is good because we need our toys. We have finally setteled into our new house. We like it very much. Berry and I love to play Thundering Herd of Elephants on the stairs at 5am. We also carved pumkins!! We have never carved pumpkins before. It is strange. I had Berry check it out incase it was dangerous. It wasn't dangerous, but verey smelly. Daddy gave Berry a pumpkin seed to play with. When she started to eat it mommy took it away. Too bad...I wanted to know what they tast like. Below are some pictures of our busy October.

These are the pumkins that we carved. The one on the right is the one Daddy carved. I think it is a Harry Potter Pirate Pumkin. I like Mommy's pumkin better. (Don't tell Daddy)

Everyone thinks this is a silly plae to sit, but I think it is the best place. I can look out the window and keep an eye on the kitchen.

Here is Berry helping Daddy study for a test for work.

I think this is a riduclous hiding place, but Berry gets in here everyday. She wants to tell you that it is the best place to hide to jump out at people.

Here we are practiving our balancing act on the banister. I was in here by myself and then Berry jumped in as sat on me so I moved over. She better not jump out or I will fall down the stairs.

This is the best place to sleep on the cold nights. On Mommy's lap on her robe. Best end to a busy month I think.

Here is Blackberry showing what she's got!

I can't figure out these human devices, but this works.

Supervising a Birthday

It is not easy supervising.
Day in and day out I am telling others what to do.

It's my gift.

Today, I had to make sure that everything went right for my mommy's birthday. In human years, she is 25. I wanted some simple gifts for her, a cake, champagne, and a nice dinner. Since the man of the house is likely to forget she has a birthday, I left him some clues. I carved a heart in his leg while he was sleeping...no response, but a little messy. I decided I had to be more "direct", so I just ordered some books from Amazon. When they arrived the following week, the male human signed for the UPS package, shrugged, and said, "I'm good!"

The activities of the day included me making a list for daddy, keeping my sister, Blackberry, out of trouble, deciding where to go for dinner, chilling the champagne, cooking the cake, decorating the cake, and, finally, the gifts.

While Tom, the man of the house, was getting the cake supplies, I was power napping. I put some Benadryl in Blackberry's food and she seems to be sleeping soundly.

So, I was still tired and groggy from my nap, so I had my sister, Blackberry, make the cake and frost it. I instructed her to make a double decker cake. I tried to tell her the proper way to do it, but it looked horrible! That's what happens when you don't do it yourself!


I had to jump down from my cat tower and finish the cake.

What do you think?

I chose a nice place for the humans to eat dinner in nearby Santa Maria. It was an American cuisine with a Louisiana twist. The place was called Chef Ricks. I found out about this place from my friend Lars who is a band called Metallica. Here's a picture with him and the Chef.
The humans arrived home after dark sometime. It was time for the party!

Cake was eaten, champagne was drank, then it was time to open gifts. My mommy got two books and a cards from all of us.



It was a tough day for me but it was worth it...Happy Birthday Mommy!
