Makeover!!

As many of you know, my current best friend is Luna. Luna is Nana and Grandpa's dog. We love to cuddle, play catch in the backyard, she even lets me reorganize her food by individually dropping each piece into her water dish. Sometimes, I even make myself at home and climb atop her bed with her.

As much as I adore Luna, everyone could use a makeover sometimes, amaright!?

I decided that she might look good with some brunette lowlights, so taking some dirt from potted plants around Nana's house, I distributed piles onto her back to recolour her fur a darker shade.

Observe the careful drop-and-pat technique...

Here, I wanted to ensure that mom was capturing my styling on camera...

Luna was so patient during the recolouring process, and is now perfecting her ragamuffin-muppet look that she strives for.

Let me know if anyone else would like some dirt-lowlights! I'm available between 8 and 7 pm. Accepting homo milk as payment.

Love, Felix and Luna 

When Auntie and Uncle Babysit...

I LOVE it when Auntie and Uncle babysit! We run around and play games and giggle and fly! It is just so fun. Uncle even lets me play on his iPad sometimes. He has some special games on it just for me!

We went for a walk a little while ago, and after playing on the slides at the park, we discovered some witches in the 'hood...

I really enjoy a good ol' fashioned game of hide 'n seek with Auntie (she's a really good chaser/finder). Despite this incredible hiding spot, she STILL managed to peep me!!

I am a very lucky nephew!

Bean & Pasta Recipe

As you all know, I love foods. Specifically, the eating of the foods. Recently, meaning the last half of my life, I have really embraced the preparing of foods. Most mornings, I help Mum-mum prepare our smoothie by putting the ingredients into the Vitamix and sampling as many of the ingredients as possible along the way. I also enjoy stirring things while they are cooking, pouring ingredients into bowls, and placing* lids on things after their use.

Today, however, I found a very different use for foods. Because it was kind of rainy and muddy outside and we already went through one change of clothes today due to a Beacon-Hill-park-duck-pond incident, I thought it prudent to stay indoors. I asked mum-mum if she wouldn't mind collecting some dried pasta and beans for me to sort through. You see, I LOVE sorting. The method of my sorts are a complete mystery to others, but are actually quite scientific and well thought out. Here is what kept me busy for nearly 45 minutes.

A little while in, I discovered the joy of wearing foods as fingers. In this case some rigatoni fit quite nicely on my finger. If you have ever worn rigatoni as your finger, you understand the hilarity. If you haven't, go to your local grocer, demand one rigatoni and place it on your finger. 

I get this urge to wear foods as fingers from my mom as she and her high school pal, Carlene, spent may nights sporting bugles as fingers:

As my incredible attention span began to wane, more and more beans and pasta found their way onto the floor. THAT, my friends, is a whole other game. The sound of dried beans and pasta hitting hardwood is such a satisfying sound, I felt the need to repeat it 827 times. 

After I announced that my sorting and dropping time was over, I helped clean up the mess; however, I am pretty sure that we will be finding dried lima beans and chick peas for months…

Look cousin Ben, I can sweep, too!

*placing lids atop their containers is much different then actually re-sealing the containers. This "placing" can sometimes cause frustration for others, I am looking at you Auntie Heather, Uncle James...

Green Day

Not the band, but the day when that's what you wear. St Patty's Day was yesterday and in honour of the day, I wore my glow-in-the-dark dinosaur bones PJ top (a-thank you Kelli & Khaos) as it is the only green I have! Also, Mommy made a special kale smoothie which was also…GREEN! I drank 4 cups. FOUR cups. You can only imagine what was green later on in the day.

On a side note, I also enjoy wearing bowls on my head. Obviously, I get my sense of fashion from my mom. 

Hope everyone had lots of green things yesterday!

Mom's View

Mommy and I have been spending a LOT of time outside. The other day we went for a looooong stroll with Auntie Vicky aka Grandma Ovals, grabbed lunch at the Beacon Drive In (read: ultimate greasy diner, like sooooo greasy), and picnicked in Beacon Hill park amongst the magical creatures. Some of the magical critters are called peacocks and some are called trucks. I found each of them equally interesting. Aaaaaaanyhoo, as a result of this gorgeous weather and abundant walking, mum mum mum mum's view has been predominantly this:

Strong Man!

Strong Man competitions take a LOT of training. It is hard to flip a giant tree, or drag a car, so I thought I would start training now. Tossing boulders is an important part of the preparation process. So is adequate sleep, staying hydrated, core work, yada yada yada, but let's not get ahead of ourselves…rock lobbing is what I am focussing on right now. A couple times a week, I head to bedrock beach to get my chuck on! I spend anywhere from 10 minutes to an indefinite amount* of time practising. Here is a little clip of me working on my strong-ness.

Love, Felix xo

*Mama or Daddddd always gets us to head back home before I am really finished my drills, but until I get stronger and my Nonononono's can get backed up with some more muscle, I guess I have to go...

Wizardry

Abra-ca-zamble! Tickity-boo! Shaza, shaza, bamballa-DOO!!

I think I said that wrong, because the ocean isn't parting…I tried though!

I was just casting a spell on the ocean the other day.

Love, Felix
