New Background

So you might be wondering why I put up a 9/11 background but really I just thought it was pretty. I mean I really care about what happened and all, but it is way past that time of year.

My Animals

So as you know, I have a dog and a cat. Here are some pictures of them.

This actually is just me accidentally flipping the camera. It looks pretty cool though, huh.

Dad had the ladder out so I climbed to the top and took this picture up high.

The cat was digging.

Griffey was sneezing here. I got it at just the right moment.

She can climb trees now. But sometimes she's scared to get down.

Yes, she's sleeping on the toilet.

How to Peel a Pomegranate

So I know this is a little late but you can still buy pomegranates for a few more weeks. It's not too late! Pomegranates are my favorite fruit and I could eat a whole one by myself (well if Dad and Kourtni don't want some).

So first you'll need a cutting board, a knife, a bowl of water, and a pomegranate.

Then cut the pomegranate in half like so.

Then cut both halves in half.

Take one half ( you can brake this in half) and pick out the seeds with your fingers. It's best to do it in the water so the white skin floats to the top and the seeds sink to the bottom.

The remains of the pomegranate should look like this.

The rest of the seeds should be at the bottom of the bowl. Only eat the seeds where the juice is firm- ish. Don't eat the mushy ones.

Strain the water and then you can eat. It is ok to eat the seeds inside the juice.

Clue

I can't believe I've never played clue before. I played this version of clue( disney version) last night and it was so fun. If anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas, this is what I want! Well the normal game of clue.

The Kitten

I never thought this would ever happen in my life but it did. I now have a cat. When I was little, Kourtni and I always wanted a cat and so we'd ask, "Will you get us a kitty Daddy?" Then he'd say something like," Oh sure I'll get you one tomorrow," but he never did. And finally we have a cat. She's really cute but she's a lot of hard work. One way to keep her busy though is to get a string and tie something funky on the end of it and then let her catch it. Then pull it away. Then let her catch it again, then pull it away. She also wakes us all up in the morning with her wailing and meowing. I don't know if we're really going to keep her but for the time being, I like her.

Her name is Cub because she stands on her hind feet like a bear.

Introducing the cat to Griffey.

We put her in this little Doll bed when she was asleep. This cat is spoiled.
