A Big Birthday!

It's our mommy's milestone squizillionth birthday today! We suppose we should get up and celebrate with her. Maybe after one more nap...

Since Mommy's really old now she'd understand how nice it is to nap. Plus we don't want to wake somepuppy up...

It's pretty peaceful when NOleaveitgetdownstopNO Lexi sleeps. Yeah, okay, so she doesn't chase us anymore but still, she's got way more energy than anybuddy should. Anyway, since she recharges sleeps more these days, we were able to do some shopping for Mommy's surprise present...

It's a super soft kitty blanket for us to cuddle with her in and kitty socks because she loves those. Lexi didn't get her anything. Just sayin. 

Our grandma from Vegas and Aunt Dolly are here so we're hoping Dolly tires Lexi out. We'll all be celebrating our Mommy's big day! Enjoy a treat in her honor!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Santa's Helper

We had a whirlwind weekend doing last minute Christmas stuff to get in the mail today. Mommy was busy making handmade presents - some beady, some involving glue! For some reason I didn't get to help with the glue projects but I did get to help with the beady ones...

Hey, aren't these supposed to be a surprise?

I better make sure they remain a surprise so I'll just lay right here...

It's a tough job being Santa's helper but somekitty's got to do it!

What did you do this weekend?

Have a great day!

Weekend Wrap Up

The weekends go by way too fast!  Yeah, okay, so every day is a weekend for us and although we declared this to be a three day weekend, Mommy had a long to-do list for her and Daddy so we napped inside alone while they worked in the yard.  They finished up most of the new side yard....

Well, the veggie garden is done but the flower garden isn't, trees and bushes need to be trimmed, grass needs to be mowed, the deck needs to be cleaned and well, you get the idea.  Anyway, they worked outside since last week was rainy and dreary and nothing much gone done inside or out.  Since the sun was finally out and we were up from our dreary day naps, we got a packaged from Phoebe, her mom and the other 14 at 15 and meowing...

One guess what I'm about to do to this...

Did you guess right?

I turn into a crazy kitty when I can bunny kick things!  I also enjoyed the little maraca...

Isabella took one of they toys and tossed it and carried it all around the house...

Can you tell we can't sit still for photos when toys are involved?  Sorry about that but we just got too excited!  

See, I told you!
We loved the pressies Phoebe!  Much thanks to you and your mom!  We appreciate them very much!

What did you do this weekend?

Hope you have a sunny week!

Mommy is really behind in Christmas stuff so I thought I'd help her wrap presents...

For some reason, she was not appreciative...

I guess she didn't want me to hold the paper down so I'll hold her down...

Yep, this is way better...

Because she's so far behind, we realize today is the last day of the Santa Kitty Toy Hop but we're still going to participate this weekend.  It's never too late to help homeless kitties and doggies!

Don't forget to a receipt because it's a tax deduction!  Yep, we're always thinking taxes too!

Hope your Santa appreciates your help today!

Finally Friday

It's Friday and the best part is Mommy's home!  We were so glad to see her!  I purred really, really loud and made lots of biscuits too!  After she was home for awhile and started taking things out of her carry-on, I realized I better find out where our present was.  She got Daddy some fancy M&M's and she bought herself a now incomplete box of goodies* but I didn't see anything for me...

But then I realized I got the bestest gift of all, Mommy is home!

We love being with Daddy but it was tough making it through the night without 2am treats!

We hope you have a fabulous Friday too!

*Mommy flew on Allegiant and was worried about the weight limit on her luggage so put her new box of goodies in her carry-on to make sure her suitcase wouldn't be over the limit.  After waiting in line to check in her suitcase then waiting in lines at security, her carry-on was inspected by TSA.  She'd totally forgot that the lotion and body scrub in the box were each more than twice the 3oz limit so her choices were to go back downstairs and check her carry-on (at a cost of $50), mail the items back home (at a cost of $20+) or to watch the TSA agent throw them away (approx $40 of product in the trash).   Let's just say Mommy literally threw her money away in Vegas!  The TSA agent did say she could have gone back out of security and put the lotion on so she could wear it once before it went in the trash.  Pretty generous huh?  She was nice about it at least.  

Mommy's Office is Becoming a Forest of Cat Trees!

As we mentioned yesterday, Santa also brought us a cat tree which he left in Mommy's office.  He put it in the corner thinking we wouldn't notice it right away among all the other cat trees in there...

Well, Santa needs to learn a little more about cats since we hone in on anything new right away...

This new tree has a hidey hole at the bottom of it...

See, I hidey in the hole and Isabella can't see me even with my lasers on...

She saw me get out and well, you know what they say - monkey see, monkey do...

I checked out the middle bunk...

Yep, monkey see, monkey do...

This new tree is pretty nice but it'll take a little getting used to....

Yep, you got it, monkey see, monkey do...

It pays off being good kitties most of the year with such pawesome presents from Santa!

We hope you have a pawesome Friday!

Group Effort

Things are crazy around here, well, actually it's just Mommy.  She blames it on having a late Thanksgiving resulting in less time to get everything done before Christmas.  Yeah, whatever.  Christmas comes on the same day every single year so you'd think she'd figure that out.  Did you notice we had two Wordless Wednesdays yesterday?  I tell ya.  If she didn't treat us like royalty we'd be accepting applications about now.  Anyway, Mommy had to wrap some presents so my sisfur and I pitched in since we knew she couldn't do it by herself.  Isabella tied little knots on the ends of the sweatshirt strings...

And I checked that they were secure...

Then gently tucked them in the box...

I also held the paper down while she wrapped the presents...

Then I used my lasers to keep track of the packages until they were ready to be delivered...

We're hoping things calm down soon since having to help Mommy so much is really cutting into our naptime.  Okay, just my naptime since Isabella's naps are just as long as always.  Hope Mommy appreciates my sacrifices!

Are things hectic at your house too or just ours?

Hope you have an enjoyable day!

Happy Sadieday!

It's Sadieday and since we've been thinking of food the past couple of days, we were remembering how Sadie loved special foods too!  She didn't get it very often but she loved to lick the peanut butter jar clean - or at least as far as her tongue would reach!

She loved receiving special treats in the mail...

And wasn't always very patient during photo sessions...

But she always had a smile on her sweet face!

We hope you have a smile today too!  Remember to spread those smiles around since you never know who's day you'll brighten with just a smile!

Have a Happy Sadieday and a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family peace, love and happiness for Christmas and always!

Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us,

Isabella, Angel and Mommy Sharla

Thankful Thursday

Christmas came early in our house when the man in blue pants brought a surprise package just for us!

The package smelled like a handsome Mancat and nip!  That's an irresistible combination...

We checked every inch for the Mancat but didn't find him...

But we did find the nip which made us crazy pants...

VERY crazy pants...

We also got pawesome crinkly paper...

There were other pressies but we were so wild over the nip toys, crinkly paper and pom pom balls that Mommy put the rest of the package away until Christmas Eve so we didn't over do it. She's a party pooper. Anyway, we'd like to thank JB, Gaia, Chester, CocoBean, Charli and the handsome Armani for the pressies!

We absolutely love everything!  We can't thank you enough for making our Christmas extra special! 

What are you thankful for today?

We hope you have a crazy pants sort of day!

Tis the Season on Sadieday

Happy Sadieday!  We're slowly getting in the Christmas spirit around here.  It's been difficult without our sisfur Sadie but we finally got our tree up although it's naked except for three ornaments...

It'll look more like a Christmas tree once we get the lights on and the angel on top.  Hey, what's that I see...

It looks like there might be a couple of lights on and an Angel underneath...

Can you see me?  Let me move this branch...

We don't have any presents under the tree yet.  That was Sadie's favorite part...

And of course she knew just how to get away with snooping and still making Santa smile...

We hope you smile today and every day!  Be sure to spread those smiles around especially on Sadieday!

Our Grandpa from Kansas is here so we might be slow in commenting since we're being spoiled spending time with him.

Enjoy your Sadieday and weekend!

PeeS:  Mommy will be putting her shop on vacation tomorrow through December 7th in case you were eyeing something!
