what a week???

The hand-made Halloween bucket i made..

Well this week has been hectic and nonstop for me..

Ive done lots of cleaning, seeing it was only me and the cats dueing the week it makes me wonder how it gets so dirty and by dirty i mean clean or thats what my husband says's when he asks me what im upto for the day and my reply is cleaning and his exact reply to that is what's dirty lol...

I looked after gwenny bug on thursday for her mummy as she needed a few hours to sort a few things out..

I went to the store more then once this week for odd bits and bobs..Lindsey let me drive which was awesome as i need the practise...

Ive done some new scrapbook pages which if i do say so myself turnt out really well (Pics to come)..

I also made a special halloween bucket for gwen as its her first halloween she is older enough to eat candy and understand what halloween is about..So i thought i would make it extra special and make her something as a surprise and i think she will love it..

I also baked some muffins and scones which looked awsome and taste as good as they looked as well..

So all in all its been a nonstop week, hopefully this week we be more relaxed and less go go as im now ready to not move for the next week hehe..

Our kitty is growing so fast:)

Tigger went from being so small and innocent 2-3 weeks ago when we first adopted him at 5 months old, we brought him home and compared to our 2 year old cat willow he was tiny, we knew by the size of his paws he would be a big cat because compared to willows paws they were huge but i just didnt expect him to get so big so fast, but he has and he isnt even 6 months old yet so its scary to think how big he is going to get as you can tell by both the pics he has grown alot since 2-3 weeks ago..

But the bit that upsets me abit is my hubby paul has been away alot since we got him, i think in the last 3 weeks he has only been home for about 5-7 days so he hasnt had much time with Tigger and
I think he is going to get abit upset when he gets back from being away to realise he is no longer small and a kitten and also that he has missed out on how much he has changed, like when we first got Tigger willow didnt like him and now they sleep together, play together and chase each other around the house and he also missed Willow and Tigger climbing the cat tree together and laying on the ledge together which i thought was great and it was Willows first time on going on the cat tree so he missed that too...I know it may sound corny but we havent got a child yet so are kitties are our babies so its like a mile stone in a childs life, everything are kitties do is a big deal and paul has missed it all, i just hope he doesnt get to upset as when he was back for a few days he said to me how big he was getting and he looked abit upset about it..

Well what can i do i can't stop him growing im just glad he has settled in and he and Willow get on well as we adopted them both so they both had a bad start in life, but hopefully we can give them both lots of happy memories to push out the bad one's, i already plan to spoil them both for christmas as this will be Tiggers 1st chrismas and this will be Willows 2nd chrismas but she spent her 1st christmas in the shelter waiting to be adopted so we are going to make it extra special for them..

We love both are kitties and im glad we choose to adopt, only problem if i had my choice i would adopt every cat from the shelter so my husband is keeping me away from their lol, i dont blame him really hehe..

Tiggers first bath

Well Tiggers first bath was interesting, well what can i say a cat and a bath full of water doesn't make a good combination, he went nuts screaching and clawing the side of the bath trying to get up the side of the bath, luckly i didnt get clawed but after getting use to the water he just sat their and let me shampoo him which was great...It needed to be done as meany me i aciddently spilt chicken juice on him and he couldnt lick himself he would have got ill....

I then had to fight with Tigger to dry him with a towel which was fun as he kept escaping from the towel and running under things so i couldnt reach him lol, but finally i got him dry, well i didnt want him smelling of wet cat haha, but he wasnt happy with me for hours after wards and went on his cat tree so i couldnt reach him and faced the oppisite way lol so i think i will only bath him when it is needed..

Our new kitty

Well we decided to get another cat so willow would have some company as she doesnt like being on her own, we decided to get a male cat as appartently they would get on better and we ended up falling in love with a 5 month old kitten and we called him Tigger, he is so cute....

He is a strippy and spotty ginger and has a very long tail, he is so full of energy and does the weirdest things such as sitting in the litter tray, sleeping on the end table even though their is a comfy settee right next to him lol and he also has a thing for laying on my head while im asleep which is actually more annoying then funny and weird lol.

As you can tell by the picture another cat that is no longer all for me as from the minute paul got home from oklohoma Tigger has been all for Paul just like every other cat we have had and im the one that feeds them and changes their litter everyday which i think is cheeky, Tigger is constantly laying on Paul and wanting love off paul lol.

As for Tigger and Willow it only took them a few days to start getting on which is great and they now sleep next to each other during the day and chase each other round the house like manics and make lots of noise lol...

So all in all getting another cat was a great idea and willow now has company..

For now this is America's Angel signing off, night allx

Another Day?

Well what can i say i have had a few busy days so far, Sunday i decided in the afternoon i needed to scrub the fridge inside and out and also cleared out the fridge of all the old stuff even though it wasnt out of date but i thought it needed to go lol, I then decided to take all the cushions off the settee and wash and dry them and i also scrubed the arms and back of the settee down with soapy hot water and if i do say so myself it made it all worth it because my settee now smells lovely.



Then today i decided to move our spare room around and clear out loads of junk and it looks so spacious in our spare room now it also looks sparkly and clean again, then i decided to hoover every room and wask all the hard floors, and then i scrubbed the kitchen clean and i must say im loving the way my house looks right now unfortunaty it doesnt stay this clean for more then a few days lol oh well i guess im so lucky i love to clean so much haha..



Ive now decided to sit down and relax till bed time as i have another busy day tommorow, no surprise their then hehe..



Oh everyone needs to watch flicka the original its fanatisic ive watched it 3 times because i love it that much what can i say im a sucker for a sad film but its sad in a good way and it has to be a good film because Tim McGraw is in it and he done a great job. So watch it your love it too...



Well im off to relax so this is America's Angel signing off all the way from America:)

Another day in America as America's Angel, their should officially be a law about getting up at 5 in the morning, its just not right they should ban it and let people get up at the earliest 7 even my cat agrees with me only difference between me and my kitty is she will sleep for most of the day where i cant which i think is totally mean lol..

Ive already had to have 2 coffee's to wake myself up and its only 7:30, i wonder how many more coffee's i will have today probably alot more.

Well i guess we will see what the rest of the day brings im already guessing washing, cleaning, dishes and cooking and thats only a small part of my day, then ill probably sort through draws and paperwork, when i got married i never guessed part of my wifly job would be filling and sorting but i must admit i enjoy every minute of it as my husband provides for me in every other way, as they say he takes care of the bills and i take care of the house and this is a very true saying lol.. Well this is America's Angel signing off from America lol.

Our New Zealand Vacation

We had spent 2 months planning our vacation to New Zealand and for once it all worked out and went well lol.

The flight was very long and tiring it took over 13 hours from LA to Auckland to get their but it was well worth it as we had so much fun and went so many different places.

We arrived in at Auckland at around 7 in the morning, So it gave us all day to catch up with Mummy and Daddy Jewell.

The first day we were their we just settled in and spent the day catching up and chatting with Mummy and Daddy Jewell, we also played the Wii together which was fun..

Me and Mummy Jewell also spent a few hours of our first day doing magazine crossword puzzles and while we done that we also had a catch up without the boys and lots of coffee which was unreal lol..

But it was a great first day and it give us a chance to relax after such a long flight and we missed Mummy and Daddy Jewell so much we hadnt seen them in over 2 years since they moved out to new Zealand

The second day we were their we went to Auckland Zoo.. Their was so many animals their to see such as Meerkats, Lions, Zebra's, Giraffe's, Hippo's, Rhino's, Elephants, Flamingos, Birds, huge Turtles, Otters, Lizards, Snakes, Cheater's and lots of different Monkey's.

We walked so much in the Morning, We had lunch at the zoo and a nice cuppa i think it was well deserved..

We must of spent over 5 hours at the Zoo and walked miles, so by the end of the day are feet was killing and we couldnt wait to get back and put our feet up.

In the night time we decided to watch a movie and rest are feet well you can guess what happened me and Mummy Jewell fell asleep while watching the movie and we all decided to have a early night.

The third day we decided to spend in so we could rest are feet as they were still killing us and the whether was horrible and it was also freezing.

Me and Mummy Jewell deciding to carry on doing magazine crosswords together and Paul and Daddy Jewell played the Wii for hours..

We enjoyed just being able to relax and spend a quiet day in with the parents and we defiantly had alot to catch up on in the years we hadnt seen them.
