tough as nails

Trust me, this little DUDE is as tough as nails!
I know I wouldn't event think of messing with him.
No way! Uh uh. Nottachance!
I suppose you are wondering where on Earth this swell outfit came from. Well, yesterday we were cleaning out closets and drawers and this is the 'ensemble' that my little tough guy came up with!
He had so much fun wearing this outfit that he was more than willing to let me snap as many pictures as I darn well pleased.
He even pulled out a little Kung Fu action!
His sister wasn't quite sure what to think of him, but he sure was pretty proud of himself.
He liked the get-up so much that when he took his clothes off for bath time, he asked me if he could wear the same exact same thing the next day!
I convinced him that it would be better to wear his Vikings jersey on Sunday since the Vikes are playing gonna whoop-up on the Saints!
He thought that sounded like a mighty fine idea so that is what we did immediately after he woke up this morning...put on the outfit! Oh yeah, don't worry. I got pictures of that too and will be sharing those soon.
Until then, this little tough guy needs his beauty rest!

The Real Deal

Remember this post where I entered my 'Best Face' photo of Audrey into the iheartfaces photo challenge?
Well, it wasn't as easy as it looked to get a good, usable picture for that contest. Not that it wasn't fun trying. As a matter of fact, it was a blast1 Here is just a taste of the other fun (and funny) photos that came out of that little photo shoot.
This is her 'great big' face...you know, like when she is talking about a great big bowl of ice cream...
...or a great big piece of cake. What can I say, she likes her sweets just like her Mama!
Just one more piece!
The 'fine, be that way!' face is always a classic as well.
Ha, ha, ha...very funny, little Missy!
'Hey, look at me. I'm cute.'
Next came the scream and laugh attack!Okay, now lets get down to business looking cute again.Nahhhhh!Alright, maybe one last cute one. Just for you!

Baiting the Birds

This is the blog post that was supposed have the funny title of 'Baiting Feeding the Birds' but since I am html and formatting illiterate, it will just have to be 'Baiting the Birds.'
Why call it 'Baiting the Birds' and not just call it 'Feeding the Birds', you ask?

The simple answer is...

This is why:
Yep, our cat's new favorite past time is to sit directly under the bird feeder and wait for a cute little unsuspecting tweetie like this one:
And then...WHAMO! When that cute little unsuspecting birdie lands on the bird baiter feeder she strikes with her catlike reflexes (HA! Catlike. Get it? Ha, I say! HA!)
*Notice the bird feeder appears to be 'swinging' in the picture and that is because it was. As I was snapping my zoom lens onto my camera Trixie really did jump up and attempt to snatch a little birdie right off of the feeder. I was super bummed I missed the action shot but glad the little birdie got away.

And here is Trixie Pie looking completely busted!
And then she began slinking back towards the house, knowing full well she was gonna be in trouble.
And this is the 'Is it okay to come in the house now or should I wait a few more minutes out here in the freezing cold while you cool down a little in there?' face.
I'd say she's forgiven this time, especially since she is an awesome mouser. Although, I did just fill the bird feeder this evening so we'll see if I am singing the same tune tomorrow when she inevitably 'assumes the position' again.
