Movie Night-Crashed!!!

Our family movie nights are getting pretty famous! So much so that people are calling up out of the blue to get an invite or actually, to invite themselves!!! Practically stalking us I say! :))) Grammie and Grandad came down for movie night on the weekend and caused quite a stir.

It was Honey's turn to pick the movie and although she was partial to "Barbie Princess Charm School" she decided it might not be the best choice for Grandad! Instead she browsed a little further and felt that "Rio" would be a better choice as it said "fun for the whole family!" on the box.

There was a pre-movie concert, starring Lovey and her lovely assistants who announced each piece and accompanied her on The Stamping Song and led the applause after each number.

The girls wanted it to be like going to a real theatre so they made tickets for everyone, PW, Max & Murphy included. We had to line up on the stairs to "get in". The "staff" collected our tickets at the window and showed us to our seats.

Luckily, the box did not lie. It was a fun movie and Grammie and Grandad were thoroughly entertained :))) They had so much fun in fact, that they might even come again!!!

Stumped!

Murray had a very productive day yesterday! A couple of years ago, in an attempt to help the strawberry patch get more sunlight, he cut down a small stand of birch trees. Since that time, the birch trees have started to stage a comeback. Murray decided to take them down a peg yesterday! He dug and pried and pulled out mud & stones with some help from his lovely assistant, Sweetie! She was quite proud to be so useful in this massive endeavour and worked along quite enthusiastically. Finally, late in the afternoon, triumph! The first stump was out! Check out the roots on that thing!

(stay tuned for exciting updates on my massive undertakings indoors AND out!)

Tail Trouble

PW continues to wage war on his own tail but seems to have slowed down in the last couple of days. Hopefully preventing access to Murphy's dog food is helping him because if that isn't, I'm not sure what will! I didn't see him have any crazy spells today and he spent most of last night curled up on our bed, cozy, snug and purring calmly.
