Finding a surprise under your table,
running around sunflower fields with Matty,
going food shopping for mozzarella sticks, snacks, and little brothers,
Matty's fun signs,
people that laugh so hard they need to hold onto their stomachs for dear life,
big dogs that think they're still babies,
rainbow chucks,
being apart and reading bedtime stories on web cam,
my neighbor's pet duck,
girls that wear a mustache so well they almost convince me it's real,
cannonballs into bed,
spotting an endangered bald eagle,
painting in panties,
old roommates,
spying stairs,
and your responses on twitter to what move Moo is doing. Apparently he is doing jazz paw bend and stretch triple axel praying buddha on a lotus pad figure skating death spiral yoga. Amazing!
I love you and how you love life and matty and moo and love all of us enough to make us smile and laugh everyday....and night !
ReplyDeleteyou. inspire me.
ReplyDeleteindefinitely. THANK YOU.
Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun Katie! That's a pretty impressive move there by Moo...

ReplyDeleteOn my way to Bolivia I read an article about your work, back in Norway I've just added your RSS-feed to my blogmachine. Looking forward to be inspired!
ReplyDeleteMoo reminds me so much of a cat I had in college called Tahoe. I hope he's just as funny! (From the photos, it seems like he probably is.)
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the guy laughing makes me happy. I love laughing photos!
Someone skied down the street right outside my window too!! Two people actually. Couldn't get a good picture cause there were too many trees in the way.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome though. I'm assuming that was last week Wednesday for the massive snow fall? So much fun..
Watch out Katie that duck is gonna bite you!
ReplyDeleteOh wait ducks don't have teeth. Never mind.
yes! to bed time stories on the web cam =)
ReplyDeleteand i wish my neighbor had a pet duck.
All the things made me smile. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I just might have to kitty-nap Moo! He's just way too adorable! :)

Beautiful post! Definitely made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI have a kitty who thinks she is a little person. If she wants something badly enough (like a freshly cooked piece of bacon) she will s-t-r-e-e-e-t-c-h way up on her hind legs and suddenly a little white paw will appear on the top edge of my table and feel around... I'm. totally. serious. It's like something you'd see in a cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog a few days ago and I am hooked. You are incredibly creative!
haha that is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures and enjoy your projects. I am unable to do my art publicly so I do it from the confines of my home. Thanks for your inspiration.
