Tortie Tuesday

Every morning when Mommy gets out of bed, she quickly pulls the covers over her pillow because she knows I will even more quickly lay on it...

It's a race that I usually win.  I win the cuteness race too - wouldn't you agree?  

Enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  Mommy and Daddy were off three days so you think they spent the entire three days with us?  Nope!  I know, unbelievable.  There were gone all day Friday so Mommy could get her ocean fix at the coast.  On Saturday they worked in the yard all day.  I snoopervised of course but it's still not the way I wanted to spend a beautiful warm, sunny day...

I thought we'd finally be able to relax and cuddle yesterday but noooo, I had to snoopervise her making beady goodies...

It'd been a really long time since we've made beady goodies and frankly, I'd forgot how much work that is.  I had to recruit Isabella to help because it was so tough...

I know we make it look easy but trust me, it's not!  It's a tough job but somekitties got to do it!  We'll try and get some rest today after our long weekend!

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Finally Friday!

It's finally Friday!  We're still trying to adjust to life after tax season.  Mommy made a to-do list of everything she's put off the past 3.5 months but of course it's different than our list.  Our's includes spending more time catering to our every need but her's includes weird things like boring house things.  She's also trying to get out more after being inside all.the.time.  To do this, she's been going on hikes in the forest...

This may come as a surprise but our mommy is a little chicken of being in the forest by herself.  Okay, she's a lot chicken but she just loses herself in happy memories of going on those same strolls with our angel sisfur Sadie...

How could she not enjoy remembering Sadie's sweet smile?

One thing Sadie loved most about hiking in the spring was mud puddles...

So it made Mommy smile when she saw a pretty girl name Molly enjoying mud puddles too...

Yeah, okay, her eyes may have leaked a little after that but she still smiled a lot too.  Anyway, she's off work until next Wednesday and Daddy is taking off today so they'll have a long weekend together.  Guess that means it'll be awhile before she finally gets to the things on our list.  Oh well, gives us time to rest up after tax season too!

We hope you have a great weekend filled with lots of smiles!  Be sure to spread those smiles around so they brighten someone else's day too!  

Happy weekend!

April 15th!

It's finally April 15th!

That means tax season is over!

YAY!

Sorry, I got a tad bit excited.
Even though we had the best tax season ever, we're still glad it's over.  Now comes the real hard work of changing Mommy from a tax type CPA to our type of CPA - Cat's Personal Assistant!  Our work is never done.  

Happy Tax Day!

Tortie Tuesday

There's nothing better than feeling a warm sunpuddle on my Tortie furs and feets...

Well, except for a nap in a sunpuddle and I'll be sure to do that too!

Hope your day is filled with warm sunpuddles!

Isabella

Phew!

This weekend we looked and looked for Isabella but we couldn't see her anywhere...

Here I am!

Thank Cod!  That was a close call!

Happy last week of tax season!

Angel

Happy Sadieday!

Okay, we realize that Easter was last week but as we said yesterday, Mommy is a bit out of it lately so we wanted to show another favorite post from the archives featuring our sisfur Sadie.  She was the bestest sisfur us kitties could have and we are pretty sure she thought the same of us even though she never would have admitted it!  Enjoy!

********************************************

The Easter bunny brought us lots of eggs instead treats so we were wondering what in the world to do with a whole bunch of eggs...
Sadie woo'd for the Easter bunny to return with treats pronto...
We then heard the pitter patter of little feets...
But it wasn't the Easter bunny, it was our little sisfur Angel and she actually liked the eggs!
She kept playing with them...
Actually she played with them a lot...
Mommy thought she was so cuuuute. Even Sadie was mesmorized...
One thing about my little sisfur, she does find joy in everything even if it takes the rest of us awhile to see it...
I guess the Easter bunny knew that sometimes the biggest treats are learned from those we love!

Enjoy your Sadieday and weekend!

Flashback Friday

Mommy is at the stage where yes or no questions baffle her so to avoid taxing her brain (hahaha, get it? 'tax'ing), we're having a flashback to a post in April 2009 that still makes her giggle. One of us doesn't find it amusing but we hope you enjoy it!

*********************************************

Sometimes when I'm trying to nap, there are monsters under the covers that try to interrupt my sleep. Ah Ha! Gotcha monster!
Hope no furry monsters interrupt your sleep!
Isabella

PeeS:  No furry monsters were injured, just irritated.

One Week To Go!

We've had a WAY better tax season this year than we ever have.  Mommy's not grumpy stressed at all and she's actually pretty darn happy!  But, that doesn't mean we're not tired of tax returns because we are!  Sometimes I take time out for a much deserved break...

Of course I'm still close by in case Mommy needs help.  I'm thoughtful that way.  After all, what would she do without me?

What do you help with at your house?

Happy final week of tax season!

Angel

Tortie Tuesday

You know it's about a week to go in tax season when Mommy giggles and nobody knows why except her...

Nope, nothing to giggle about here.

She's weird.

Don't forget to contribute to your IRA by April 15th!

(I am a Tortie CPAcat and am always thinking taxes.  And sleep.  And foods.)

Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!  We had a weekend filled with a whole lot of nothing.  We had to help Mommy with a monster tax return Saturday and then afterwards we settled in for movie night but I'm pretty sure Isabella was really enjoying the movie...

I am amazed at how spoilt she is...

Thank Cod I'm not spoilt!

What did you do this weekend?

Happy last full week of tax season!

Angel

Happy Start to Easter Weekend

We had a break in the rain yesterday so enjoyed lots of sunpuddles...

We also had a break in tax returns so Mommy took advantage of that and the sun and went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest with her friends.  They saw rows and rows of tulips...

In a wide array of colors...

And even some exotic looking tulips like this one called a Flaming Parrot...

We don't know about you but that isn't what we think of when we think of a flaming parrot!  Anyway, since it's a holiday weekend we're going to take another long weekend but we'll leave you with a picture of our favorite bunny - our angel sisfur Sadie!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Easter!

Angel

Rain, Rain Go Away!

Okay, so we haven't had one snowflake all winter and we've had more sunny days than rainy ones but now that it is rainy, we don't like it...

It messes with the reception for Birdie TV which means we have absolutely nothing to do...

Besides tax returns of course.  Only two more weeks!  Yay!

Hope it's sunny in your neck of the woods!

Isabella and Angel

Tortie Tuesday

 ♫ I'm a Tortie teapot short and stout ♫ 

Uh, how long have you been standing there Mommy?

Can't a Tortie not get any privacy especially on Tortie Tuesday?

Sheesh!

Hope you have a song in your heart today!

Isabella

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  We had a lazy, sunpuddle filled weekend even if I had to search out and find the sunpuddle...

We spent a lot of time napping too since Mommy and Daddy were gone a lot of the time.  Friday they went to the coast where Mommy could get her ocean fix...

Even though they saw super fresh fish, do you think we got any?  Nope!  Do you spot the birdie?

When they were eating lunch, this is what parked right in front of them...

Dogs are weird.
Yesterday Mommy and Daddy went on a walk and Mommy didn't notice the horse saying 'Cheese' until she got home and then she giggled her fool head off.  All day...

Mommy's weird too.  Anyway, back to work today since there's just 2 1/2 weeks of tax season left!  Yay!  

What did you do this weekend?

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Angel

Finally Friday

We're so glad it's Friday!  We've had a busy week preparing tax returns and watching it rain...

But the sun came back out yesterday for the first time since our new landscaping was done which reminded us that we never showed photos.  We'll blame that on Mommy of course but anyway, let's start with the before view from the deck...

Behind the evergreen trees was a pathway that was pretty much only used by the neighbor cat Dooney since it was made of lava rock which Mommy hated...

After 11 days of working with just one day off, the landscapers transformed the previously unusable space to a new very usable space...

Mommy still has to stain the replaced board in the deck and figure out what she wants to plant in all the new space but she's very happy with the quartz stone pathway which leads to a patio in the back...

She also loves the view from the patio of the snow covered Three Sisters which you can kinda see in this photo through the hazy sky...

There's a view the other direction too - of the new indoor only neighbor kitties watching Mommy!

Those kitties made her smile!  We have noticed that since the landscape change, the outdoor neighbor cats don't visit as often which is an added bonus!  Especially since Daddy will be putting up the bird feeder again this weekend - yay!

Mommy and Daddy took the day off today so we're going to enjoy a long, sunpuddle filled weekend!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
