Toodles!

One last blog entry before we leave on our trip tomorrow night! I’m so excited! I’ve been so busy and I’ll probably be running around the rest of the night and tomorrow morning doing last minute things. The plan is to take a nap before we leave tomorrow night, but I think there’s a good chance that I’ll be too excited and just squirm around a lot. :p

We’ve had some new visitors to the bird feeders the past couple of days as you can see by the pictures we managed to get through the window. Uzi was making odd noises watching what I assumed would be a squirrel Monday evening, and then we peeked out the window and right below it were a pair of ducks! We startled them I think and they quickly waddled away, so we got a shot of their retreat, but yesterday while I was at work, they returned and Josh got the other photos. This morning I also saw a pair of pheasants next to the road, which was neat, and our bunny friends are, of course, daily visitors.

Off to pack now! I have a feeling my work day tomorrow is going to drag ridiculously and I’ll be tapping my feet and squirming and antsy, so who knows – perhaps I’ll post again before I leave. :p

Feeding Time!

The grass is ready and the cats immediately started grazing… followed by an immediate puke fest from Uzi because he over-indulged. Sigh. :p

In other events, we went to see ‘Monsters v. Aliens’ over the weekend and it was a lot of fun, so if you haven’t seen it, you should! I also just watched ‘The Duchess’ and I really liked it. Normally I don’t particularly care for Kiera Knightley, but she really did a good job in this film. You really feel for her character and after verifying some of the facts, a lot of the movie is based on the Duchess of Devonshire’s actual life, which is always nice. I hate watching a film that says it is based on actual events only to find out it is only very loosely based on fact.

Picture Post

Ziggy has been full of it lately, so I thought I would post some of her silliness. She just loves running around and sliding on the linoleum and those rugs.

^And Uzi being adorable.

And now for some pictures of Josh and one of his hobbies that he is quite talented at. He takes regular action figures that often have only so-so paint jobs and he repaints them and makes them look amazing. These pictures really don’t do them justice because the flash makes the colors a little funny. They’re awesome, though. The first four are all TMNT figures and the last one is The Scarecrow that he painted for Andrew’s birthday and came out really good, but of course, you can’t tell all the details and everything in the photo.
