Merry Christmas!

In addition to the loot that Janet sent them, the Moos and Tus each received some new toys from Santa.  Tulip was happy to discover that Santa came instead of Krampus.

Here’s Tu and Grandma playing with some new Christmas toys.

Moo was quite a bit less impressed with the Roomba we got. “Mama, I think Krampus left this for Tulip.”

Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas!

Sleep number

I found this scene on Sunday morning.  Moo is curled up under the blankets and resting her head on a fleece camping pillow.  In the background is Eve who has been forced out of her side of the bed by the Moo Head.

I wonder what Moo’s sleep number is?

Moo’s pad

Actually, Tu, I think she called it a Moo’s pad.

Waiting for the mouse to return

Mama, where is this mouse, and why does he need a pad?

Welcome back

Well, nothing of note really happened while I was away, but it’s good to be home.  The kitties were very happy to see me when I got back, and everyone piled up on me to sleep for the first few nights.  I needed that.  Things are pretty much back to the routine around here.  Moo slept in this morning, but Tulip and I got up early.  She shared the back of my chair while we read the Caturday thread on fark.com:

Vacation

It’s vacation time again.  I’m headed out this evening, but as you can see, the girls are holding down the fort.  Hopefully Eve will have some stories for all of us while I’m away.  I can hardly wait to hear/see what they’re up to.  I miss them all already!

(fat) cat & mouse

Miracle’s idea of playing cat & mouse:

Busy, busy

Saturday morning I was cleaning the garage.  I decided to leave the inside door open to see who would join me.  I wasn’t down there for 30 seconds before both cats came down to investigate.  Tulip wasn’t that interested, but Miracle decided to help out.

Busy, busy. Moo helping to clean the garage:

Tulip, on the other hand, would rather goof off on Caturday. Here she is caught in the act of playing with her Kong Kickeroo, or as I like to refer to it the “Punkeroo”:

There are a few more punky pictures in the FlickR photostream to the right.

Moo wants her blankie

Ever since we came back from vacation, Moo has been kind of distant.  She just hangs out on the rug in the living room, and doesn’t really want anything to do with us.  At first we thought she liked staying with Eve’s parents better than being at our house.  Then we thought maybe she was just upset about all the traveling and changes she’s been through lately.  Then we though, maybe she’s just hot.  Nooooo, Moo wants her blankie!

A few days ago I put on the air conditioner because our house was steaming.  Once it cooled down a bit, I plopped on the couch and put Moo’s favorite blanket over my legs.  As soon as I did, there was Moo kneading in the blanket.  She curled up and went to sleep in my lap.  The Moomoo is back.

Ever since, I’ve been running the darn air conditioner at night so Moo can sleep on the bed with her blanket.  She’s happy as can be.  She walks around with her pouty Moo face.  She’s more talkative.  She seems content again.  Talk about a punk!  Moo better be paying the electric bill this month. ☺

Moo still passed out in her blankie this morning after everyone else got up:
