Before the Monkey, there was a Pumpkin

Before this human holiday - Halloween - there was a strange ritual of decapitating a large pumpkin, disemboweling it and carving holes in one side. I'm not sure why this was done, it was messy and it smelled funny. I did enjoy licking the slat off the roasted seeds though.

If you don't believe me, I have proof.

And speaking of strange...What about little Victoria sitting and laying on the table. Whenever I do it, I get the boot.

And you thought I was the shaggy long haired cat. Take a look at that blond rat's nest. I hope Santa brings her some hair clips for Christmas!!!

Now these...Are just for fun.

Well, that's all for today. I was stuck in a closet all day, so now I need a little relaxation, and I need to take care of some business!

Monkey'n'Round

Life has been very busy around the house, first there was a monster running around roaring and trying to scare me at every chance, then out of no where this wild monkey showed up and kept yelling Trick or Treat. It walked in the firemen's parade and went door to door begging. Mom and Dad seemed to encourage this....when ever I beg or linger too long at the dinner table, I get shoed away.

This monkey was also sighted at grandma's house, at school with Victoria, and later that night at Nonni's ( Grandma D's) house. It wasn't here for that long then as fast as it appeared, it again disappeared..like that monster. I wonder if there is a connection.

The photos are scarce but I managed to capture these fleeting images.
If you see this monkey in your neighborhood or lurking around your house, don't be afraid...
just guard you candy.....
