Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Two of our Thanksgiving Day Guests

I hope all of you out there had a very happy and gut-busting Thanksgiving Day!  My good friends Nikki and Dan came over to eat turkey with us and we all had a very fun time.  In fact, it was so much fun that none of my usual photographers (you know who you are!) remembered to take any pictures, so the only pictures I have to share from the day are of our other guests that "flew over".  Daddy finally hung up my bird feeder Auntie Em sent me.  It's right outside my window so every morning I can open my blinds and see all my little feathered friends!

The bird feeder was such a hit on Thanksgiving Day 
that all the birds formed a neat and orderly line to take turns!

What!!! Thanksgiving is this week!?!!?!?

Oh no!  Mommy goofed ... she thought Thanksgiving was weeks away, but since it's only days from today, I had to help her ransack the market, even grabbing a shopping cart that was just my size so we could split up the shelf space where anything low goes into my cart and Mommy takes the stuff up high for her cart.

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

My Halloween adventure this year started out way fun and blasted off into the realm of super-fun territory!  Here are a bunch of pictures taken along the way ...

Avery and Mathew at the Pumpkin Patch ...

... there was even a petting zoo ...

... with goats that swallowed WHOLE PUMPKINS!!!

We took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch ...

... and I had to lead Mommy to where 
all the good pumpkins were hiding ...

... since there were lots of pumpkins 
that didn't look so great ...

... but I knew it when I found 
just the right one, or rather it found me!

Then we took them home and gutted, carved, and 
showcased our Great Pumpkins (the first pic) for all 
to see ... and ate lots of pumpkin seeds as well!

Next was 'Trick or Treat' time, so
guess what I was this year ... here's a hint,
it starts with 'snow' and ends with 'white'!

My good friend Shannon (or rather Sleeping Beauty) 
and I loaded up in our chariot with out empty bags ...

... and our trusty white mare 
(Shannon's Mommy) took us on our way ...

... and my other good friends (Nikki, Dan, and Sedona) 
came too and even got all dressed up (just as I told them), 
where I said one should be a bunny, one a dead frog, 
and another a dog (guess who dressed up as which)!

This was our first stop, she was a REALLY nice lady who
gave us BIG-SIZED candy bars ...

... this was out next stop, 
it was more scarier than the first ...

... and then this was the next one,
even more scarier ...
... now this house could have been VERY scary 
except they dressed up EXACTLY the same 
as last year so it didn't seem so scary this year!

Sedona even got 'treats' as well ... 
although she preferred 'tricking' people instead 
(like yanking Nikki all around everywhere) ...

... Shannon also liked pulling 'tricks', 
such as tricking her Mommy by 
EATING HER CANDY along the way!!!
