Funny of the Day...

Amir just tried to flush the male cat. Thats right.. When I barged into the bathroom to see what he was doing the cat was half way in the toilet (in the water) and Amir had already flushed twice.

I guess cats aren't flushable.

Birthday

The Saturday following Amir's birthday we had his birthday party. We went to the park to celebrate. I decided to not rent a pavilion because it was too expensive and I didn't think there was going to be anyone doing anything in mid-October. We arrived and set everything up and shortly after we got there a wedding party came over and started setting up. Turns out they didn't have it reserved either. The place they did reserve wasn't covered and it had already started to rain. We only needed two tables so we didn't care that they were there as long as they didn't care we were there either. And they didn't.

Right before we started some people showed up and said that they had reserved the pavilion and that they had a whole bunch of pumpkins coming etc. So we moved over under a little snack bar shelter thingy. We had to wipe off all the tables because they had been out in the rain. I just want to go on record here and say that the people that kicked us out only used 4 tables and didn't say anything to the wedding happening on the other side. I'm a little angry that they kicked us out and had a bunch of tables. Plus, they had a birthday party too so I don't think it would have mattered. OH WELL. We still had fun. We sang happy birthday and the wind blew out the candles for Amir. I think he was a little confused when everyone cheered for him when he didn't do anything. HA! He was so cute when he saw the cake. He kept saying "MMM! Cake! Birthday!" He didn't even finish his piece before heading back over to the cake to have another taste of the frosting. Yes, I let him take a little swipe of the cake before we cut it. He is so cute. After that we opened presents.

Shortly after that, we got Amir out of his clothes and took him home. He was so cute in the puddles but I'm pretty sure those boots he was wearing are ruined forever.

I AM Awesome!

Yesterday was a GREAT day. I cleaned the house (with the help of my awesome husband) Amir had fun playing outside most of the day and Rich even made a "Sanctuary" for the cats downstairs. Now my bathroom isn't overpowered by cat poop/litter smell. AND the dogs cant eat their food which also means that Ruthie will stop throwing up. (Yipee!!) We have decided not to get our carpet upstairs professionally cleaned again. We are going to replace the carpet as soon as possible with something that has yet to be determined...Something that doesn't stain, wood, tile, whatever. lol.

I also baked yet another pumpkin pie. Which tasted awesome once again. I also organized the cupboard with all of the cooking stuff etc. I wish I had taken a before and after picture but I just have an after...

Awesome, right? I've been looking at that for weeks and have been too lazy to clean it out. I think today I'll move onto bigger and better things... Like organizing the pantry. Haha.

Things have been a LOT easier with the cat litter/food downstairs. Now Amir isn't getting into it every morning and the cats stay downstairs more so there are less trips down the stairs in a laundry basket ;) But there is still the occasion like today when I couldn't find one of the cats and it was stuck in Amir's Jammie drawer :) Too funny.

Pumpkin Pie

This last weekend I made pumpkin pie. Thats right.. REAL pumpkin pie. From scratch. It was SO YUMMY! I normally hate pumpkin pie. Hate hate hate. But having a pumpkin pie made with real pumpkin is amazing. I cannot even put into words how awesome... So here are some pictures...

The only other thing I can think of to say is: "I know what I'm making for thanksgiving!!"

Halloween

This year for Halloween we went Trick or Treating with Amir. It was AWESOME! At first he just wanted to push the stroller around the neighborhood but once he realized that he got candy just for going and knocking on someone's door (He wouldn't say 'trick or treat') he was totally okay with sitting in the stroller or walking to the next house. He was so cute. We all dressed up as pirates this year.

P.S. a blog about Amir's birthday is coming SOON!
