We had a big week this week! Someone has been counting down the days to earlier in the week... someone like my BIG SIS Lulu...
She had to go to bed every night like a big girl to get Mom to mark off the day until she turned 3! She was so excited going to bed before the big day.
She even practiced wearing her birthday hat.....
And made Daddy practice too!
Me? Well, how could I not be excited, I mean who is next in line for a cake around here... that's right you're looking at her!
So when the big day arrived, Mom made Lulu a cake....
Lulu woke up to see her cake, presents and balloons all over the house!
She was so happy to open some of her presents in her pjs....
Later on Mommy, Daddy and I surprised Lulu by dressing up in our royal attire, Lulu's dress was a hit from Uncle JJ & Aunt 'Cole. Of course, the gloves and glass slippers were sent with regrets from Cinderelly herself!
But the best part of the day was seeing all the family come over! Lulu got to play (or drag) her 2nd cousin Abby around....
And I got to play with my little cousin Ellie!
I even let her & Georgie sit in my favorite chair!
What a day! Lulu and I had to hit the hay a bit early we were exhausted!
Now normally a big birthday would be enough excitement to last a week but not this one! As a few days later it was Halloween. We had pumpkins to carve and knitting to do (or so Mom did anyway). First with the pumpkins Lulu dug right in (sort of)...
Then she told me to give it a go...
OMG what is that??? Of course that didn't stop me from trying to eat in right after this was taken.
The results of the carving.... you decide?
Mommy's
Daddy's
And Lulu's...
And Janey's? Hmmm guess you need to be able to talk around here to get a pumpkin... after all that gooey hands I didn't get one :-(
So, you ask, what was I going to be for Halloween? A butterfly?
Nope! Mom made our costumes (her own design she made up)... The Gruffalo and the Little Brown Mouse!
Mom says she needed better face paints (they were like wax)... But her eyes were orange, her tongue was black...
And she had purpley prickles all over her back...
Now let's get a close up of that mouse...
Mommy, Lulu and I went trick or treating at some of the neighbours!
Lulu had quite a stash and dug in right away! (And to you observant ones no she did not eat her peas!)
What a fun night! But I needed a good chilliaxin on the couch after that week people! Mom says I hear ya Janey what a week whew!!!
Love, Janey
