back seat wolf

hee hee well yes, mom, I do have a very nice snoozer bed. but, well, aside from the fact that I spied a snackie u dropped weeks ago on the floors down wanted to get at it...well,  aside from that u see..

...to stay in tip top shape, even on short car rideys like this one, a growing wolf really needs to stretch his ferocious legs every so often. :) 

plans within plans

hee hee, yep u got us mom! we were totally trying to april fool u into believing we would actually want 2 read something, but in retrospect i guess it was a pretty lame-o idea bc u know us so well. hey, speaking of well, well i guess me and duk duk will put everything away and maybe we will just lie here in the nice warm sun for a while.  so, if u do not mind, maybe me and duk duk will catch up with u in the sewing room in, o, i dunno, maybe a few hours?. :)

(...annnd, she's gone!  phew! okay, duk duk,  let's hurry up and do this!)

"Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine", by jay williams and raymond abrashkin.  boy u r right, duk duk,  finally, i think we have found a book worth reading.  i sure hope it comes with technical drawings, dontchoo? :)

three cups for a quarter

hee hee hee, almost ready! oh, hey little miss julia, when u come back with with the sugar, cups, and spoons, do not forget the poster board and markers so we can make our sign and then we will be ready for business! :)

matters of fact

Despite all the yellow pollen around him, tiny chumley and his bright brown eyes get extra glinty this time of year when we go outside. it's the start of digging season, the little kielbasa tells me with every ounce of yearning that his little body can muster. time to work on our holes for this year's daffodil plantings.

It doesn't matter that the daffodils we planted in prior seasons haven't finished blooming yet.  It doesn't matter that he knows a paw wash and a wet nose wipe will be the end to his otherwise very satisfactory excavating adventures. And  It doesn't matter that when I stand outside in all that pollen - watching and often helping my little bulldozer clear roots and rocks so that his paws can dig deeper - it doesn't matter that the orifices in my head become an itchy, inflamed, and runny mess.  

All that matters, is that he digs the holes he knows he must dig.  And having a happy, sated little wolf is all that matters to me. :) 

 

mom, if u r ready to have me dig again just whistle ok? oh and maybe unlatch the gate if it is not too much trouble :)

sometimes i wish i were as tall as a giraffe,

and if it were just a little cheaper,

i'd be okay with being just half. :)

karty kar

 

uh-huh, yes i see.  yes, paws free starting is a very nice feature. and the interior does feel really roomy...oh, very serious i woiuld say. probably in the next month or so, really.  well, probably not a trade-in because u really cannot find a pedal car as cool as ours anymore. but,  for every day we were thinking an upgrade would be nice. something with a roof for when it rains, and maybe something bigger so we can haul more stuff.  this karty kar is practically perfect, i think.  what with the kart in back, it can haul at least a trebuchet, and probably a walrus, too, right mister? o pardon me, hang on a sec...
 

(pfweeeeEEEEooOOooOOoooot!)

hee hee, fooo-whee that was so ripe,  my friend duk duk would have totally passed out on that one.  well, mister, at least we know now that the air circulation is very good. now let me just see how the turn sig-

hey hey, wait, i am not done ...no, i am very serious about making a purchase in the very near - no mister really...mooooooom!

candy dish

mom, are u sure these are for guests only? :)

je suis un loup

oooOOOoooOOoooo, classic breton stripes! and a dapper dyed red silk scarf and hand blocked cashmere beret, all in me size! i guess u are right mom, with all this stuff u made, we will not need the plan b outfit for our card project at all!

thank u miss Debbi :)

hee hee, i know, we do have the best friends don't we? I mean, clip on poopie? only your bestest friends would know to send u that, right? okay, before can take it 2 school and write our thank u card, mom said we should really read the wolfy note that miss Debbi sent too, so here goes.. 

"dear..dear.." wait, everything is all fuzzy. duk duk can u please pull my glasses out from your favorite rock pouch? yeah I know, otters really are cool. did u find it? 

no, that's our favorite rock. the one we will use for cracking oysters on our tummies if we are ever lucky enough to find some. u can put that back...no, that's pocket brontosaurus! I wondered where he went. put him back for now and later we pull him out for show and tell today...no, that's the bubblegum we found under the table at the park.  put that ba- ooo, wait, gimme that for later - it is so hard, I should probably start rechewing it now so it will be nice and soft for doing u know whats after school today...no, that's the sandpaper we will need for the poop shaped derby cars... no, that's just a - o wait, those are my glasses. I thought we put my crystal horn rims in your pocket but I guess not. wow, how did they get so scratchy? o well. I think I can still see out of them okay.

see, I told u that hole u got from toyfriend club would come in handy. you and otters are so luckee. okay, now where were we? "dear Baxter...

scenes from makey world

This week between appointments and the demands of real life, tiny chumley and I have started work on a tiny commissioned card project, which not only promises makey challenges and tons of cuteness, but the gratifying reward of being able to help make someone's special occasion even more so. :) 

well, I think this works pretty good, mom. but let's go ahead and make one with our Plan A fabric so that way we have options when we do the photo shoot :) 

crop husbandry 101

As a certain little kielbasa wolf and his little wannabe falcon toyfriend get older, I like to think they've gotten a little wiser about how to fill their bottomless tummies, having spent hours together as best friends do, dreaming up ways to augment their diet with the foods, tastes, and smells they love so dearly. 

Sometimes, their ideas are brilliant, if not cracked in their wisdom thanks in no small part to the haphazard absorption of things they have barely bothered to learn in school.   But, it all makes sense to them, and who am I to stand in the way of such cuteness and earnest optimism? :)





...well, mom, in a word, yeppies.  i am confident we could introduce project UknowWhat into our garden growing plans for this year with minimal impact to existing staff workload, space utilization, and irrigation infrastructure. in fact, i doubt we would need any of those resources at all due to the recent discoveries me and duk duk have made with respect to where UknowWhats come from. let me explain...

(duk duk, if you could please just move that there so i can focus on...okay... okay yeah that's good.)

as i was saying, mom. it is ez pz really...



 
 

 

you see, these are peanuts ...

...and these? these are peanut eggs.   :)

where the wild thing is

Yesterday was tiny chumley's first dig of the new year, and needless to say, a certain little wolf was very very happy about that.

rawwr! rawwr! yep, that's exactly how i will sound when i see him in my booby trap, mom.  and i will stomp all around like this, to let him know who's boxx. and then i will throw him some greens so he can fatten up. and then i will eat him. because that's the circle of life and that's what wolves do. :) 

abcd

that's right, mom.  if u take us to the candy store and to the farm supply store and to the hardware store, and then drop us and all our supplies off by rabbit ravine after school today and not ask any questions, we promise we will do our homework for the next two weeks without u having to remind us, and we will stop pestering u about seeing deadpool until it comes out on dvd. o, and we promise 2 not use the school computer during study hall to google translate poop conversations into other languages and post them on facebook. deal?
 

deal! okay, mom, i hope u have a very good physical therapy session and we will see u later after school. 























hee hee hee.  o wait, yes she is gone. what? yes i know, duk duk, it will be very difficult to stick to our agreement but a) we really could not get in to see deadpool at the theaters anyway because it is rated R and we already have enough of a hard time getting in just as a wolf and a falcon, b) we only agreed to homework and not special projects,  c) our study hall computer privileges at school were already suspended anyway on account of all the kack sprache, and d) finally we can get a leg up on catching the easter bunny once we get everything built and the u know what set. :)
