Cat Torture

"Santa Claws" a.k.a.- Willie
"Mrs. Claws" a.k.a.- Annabelle

"Clyde the Happy Elf" (doesn't he look thrilled?)


"Santa Claws Willie" says "Meowy Christmas!!"
Ok, so I know this was pretty mean, but when I saw these cat hat costumes at Target I knew I wouldn't be able to help myself. Talk about a fight. Boy these cats were not too happy with me. Willie wouldn't even hold his head up when I put his on. I think the beard freaked him out. He just dragged his face on the ground like it weighed a hundred pounds or something. Hee-hee. And you can see how excited Clyde was about the whole thing. He fought me for a minute, then realized he was just going to have to cooperate, so he just became a ragdoll, but I think he was giving me the death stare..... Mean, but hilarious. Anyway- I am home this morning, with a sick Annelise. She got home from school yesterday and promptly threw up in the driveway. I can't believe she didn't do it in my car. So, after several vomits and diarrhea episodes, she got an injection of Phenergan last night and has been asleep ever since. (One of those times I am so happy to be married to a pediatrician!) She is missing her class Christmas party today. Poor kid. B had to take Emmaline to school because he is cooking the pancakes in the room for her class party brunch. All the kids get to wear their PJ's to school today, too, so she was excited about that. (However, when it gets to 70 degrees today, she is going to be a little hot in her snowman pj's....We've had the air conditioning on for 2 days now in the house!!) She gets out at 11:30, so she'll be fine. They are supposed to go spend the night with my parents tonight, but we'll see how Annelise is after she wakes up. I don't want her "spreading the joy". Hope you enjoy the cat pics. I have a feeling it will be one of the only times they will be caught in those costumes...... :0)

Ah ha ha ha...that's too funny. Cats are the funniest creatures!

Hope the baby feels better soon!

Isn't this hot weather terrible...I finally broke down and turned the AC on yesterday...I hate being too hot and too cold...I guess I'm hard to please that way...The best times are Spring and Fall! And don't we always get teased with a little cold and then have a hot or rainy Christmas??? Bring the cold for Christmas so I can turn the logs on!

Have a great one!

OH MY GOSH Jess! Alex and I laughed for like 5 minutes( I know we need a life , hu?) Willie is the funniest cat I have ever seen! The last picture of him was the best. At first Alex thought you guys had shook him and it took everything I had to quit laughing. I said,"No they didn't shake him thats just how he is!"

I am sitting here and my face hurts from laughing at Ol' Willie the Christmas Cat!

Its a wonder it wasn't like the hubby and the pat paws toe nail clippers when you started to dress the cats!

Oh I needed that hearty laugh today!

I hope your little one gets to feeling better soon! I hate to see them so sick! Its really rotten on break!

I love the costumes! My cat wouldn't be too happy either. I wanted to dress her up as Sleeping Beauty for Halloween but - chickened out! Hope you are all well!
