There were no Leftovers...

I'm sitting at the table, minding my own business, enjoying my dinner of homemade chicken noodle soup

See - Homemade chicken noodle soup

And I get this uncomfortable feeling that I'm being watched... by searing eyes that if they could they would will my bowl of soup right off the table...

I think this is the 'feed me I'm starving' pitiful face routine

And then a vulture swoops in and takes up vigil on the other side of me looking rather forelornly too.

Can't you just hear him... Can I have a noodle, or two, or a hundred and twenty?

And Hopey, using a different approach altogether, is closing her eyes in anticipation, confidently beleiving that the noodles are already hers!

Brandee is still determined to burn holes in my concious with her 'Give me a noodle... Now' stare.

And even the royal cats gallantly move in to check out what the tail-waggers are so interested in... not neccesarily because they want to, or need to, but just because they can...

And then they turn aloofly and depart again.

Uh-oh. . . I believe this is a conspiracy...

I think they've formed an alliance.

*sniff*. . . *Sni-i-i-iff*

And I think I smell my brain smoldering!

Heh heh heh

Okay... so I caved in and they got the leftovers.

What can I say... I was being tortured! 

I Love my Doggies!

Stuffies... from Stuffmart!

Oh... Ouch!

Poor Homer...

He didn't stand a chance...

He was finally dispatched with a lobotomy

Heh heh heh!

I love the Goodwill... and I love Goodwill stuffies... but I suppose the pups like Goodwill stuffies even more so... that's why I'm off to get more!! Yippeee!

Lean on Me...

Lean on me when you're not strong,


And I'll be your friend,


I'll help you carry on...




So just call on me when you need a hand,


We all need somebody to lean on



I just might have a problem that you'd understand


We all need somebody to lean on



So lean on me,

When you're not strong,



And I'll be your friend,

I'll help you carry on ♥

Tucker Tails...

A Day at the Dog Park






Just at that moment, Tucker had a late premonition that today was Not going to be a good day for the dog park...



... and that perhaps the cat had given him misleading directions and he should have veered ‘right’ instead of ‘left’ at the fork in the road…



…  which would mean... He was Not really at the Dog Park at all!
(hum your favorite suspense music here)

 Surrounded, and with limited options,
Tucker resorted to playing possum...



which was working well
until his giggling gave him away.


 
And then... just as things were looking rather grim...

Tucker surprised everyone by using his secret power...



...his Super *Happy-Eskimo* Butt Power to be exact!

(Heh heh heh...When Tucker laughs really hard it's - LMSH-EBO!)

And then... the tables began to turn in his favor...

♥♥ My Hero! ♥♥

*sigh*

*THE END*

Tune in again for the next adventure of Tucker Tales,

where Tucker unveils his alter ego secret weapon...

 *Black Belt Butt* Power!

Heh heh heh

And 'yes'... I'm expecting the men in the long white coats to be here shortly...

Bah-hahahahahahahahahaha!

How did we get here from there?

Aww crumb! It snowed today! Such a cruel joke for someone like me who is hoping to just skip the cold, wet, frozen, sloppy, slushy, gross and disgusting weather and go strait to Spring!

But... on the other side of the coin Mr. Noah has been so excited about our first earlier-than-ever snowfall and seeing his smiling face definately brings joy to my heart. So, I guess I can bear with this torture and smile also if it makes him so happy... I just hope he doesn't expect me to go out and build snowmen with him!

luckily he didn't ask me to go out except to take this picture! Ü

My original post today was to be about a warmer time, which was just a little over a week ago, when Hopey's family came to visit with us again.  It was such a lovely day then and the kids were having a great time running around playing together and their mom and I were kicking back relaxing and taking it all in... and of course I had my handy dandy camera in hand. And it's a good thing too cause if I didn't have the pictures to prove it, today I would be thinking it was all a very distant dream!

The first thing on the boys agenda was playing some tennis with a couple of used rackets I had just picked up at the thrift shop.

I think we had some budding tennis players here, well, except Kieran who I think at times may have been playing baseball instead of tennis... but regardless, tennis or baseball, they all had a blast while doing it.

My favorite 'funny' shots were these pics, notice where the ball is in all three... and Kieran's tongue!

Hehehehe!  These crack me up everytime I look at them!

And then my favorite tennis shots that are not funny, but are just super cute are these...

Then we decided to move around back to the wilder side of our property...

to the trampoline where it was reminiscient of a scene from a WWE Smackdown.

(And Kieran was KING! Ü)

Then there was horse watching...

and horse petting...

and pig watching...

and pig petting...

(Julie and Joy were having a bonding moment Ü)

And swing-set-swinging...

And not to be left out... Hopey playing!

And then... it came time for them to leave... heh heh heh... Okay, I won't mention the incident involving the tree or who it was that careened out of control and hit it while backing up and scared everybody half to death...*cough* *cough* Julie *cough* heh heh heh... but regardless of that nobody was hurt (including said tree!)  and they went merrily on their way. 
But it was so nice having our good friends over for the day to enjoy the last of the warm weather with us and look forward to seeing them (and warm weather) again soon!

Until next time... love you guys!

Gavin

Aiden

Kieran

And Mrs. Andretti

 She was probably getting tips from Mario on proper backing up techniques.

Heh heh heh
