New Books for Voodoo Bride

This evening we hurried to the bookstore to pick up a book that Voodoo Bride had ordered. It turned out they had a special Christmas shopping surprise for all customers: Everyone got a coupon that was worth 5 euro. So suddenly Voodoo Bride could not just buy one book, but two! And we also got to participate in a lottery where I won a button!

What a cool shopping trip.

Early Halloween

This evening we had an early Halloween celebration, but first we went into town to see if I could find a costume.

At the store where they sell party stuff and costumes we saw the piggie banks and champagne bottles that my owner's OtherHalf made the drawings for.

And I spotted this pig at another store!

When we got home there was a card reminding us that Heart of Steel by Meljean Brook will soon be released. Voodoo Bride was all happy with this card and is still hugging it. I myself can't understand what all the fuss is about.

We didn't manage to find a cool costume in the stores, so finally my owner made me a costume:

The Mummy!

I really like my costume.
Mummies are a kind of zombies I think.

Our celebration was lots of fun too, but we didn't take any more pictures. I hope everyone has a really cool Halloween!

Shopping

We had some shopping to do today so went into town. There was a Christmassy mood everywhere and lots of fun things to see, like this scary Merry-Go-Round bear!

We passed a shop that had all kinds of glittery Christmas ornaments.

Ok.....
I'm in love!!

I think Coco would love this bird!

At another shop I spotted this wild boar.

Hmmmmm, snow!
I had a fun afternoon.

A Pig, Christmas and a Birthday

Saturday we went to the Amazing Oriental Warehouse and I saw this really cool pig filled with candy!

This Friday we got a Christmas Tree. doesn't it look beautiful?!

My favourite ornament.

There's a whole family of small Santas living under the tree!

Today we took a trip by car to go to a birthdayparty. I love travelling, there's always so much to see.

At the party I got this giant lollipop! I think it's strawberry flavoured, but I haven't tasted it yet.

A Fun Trip with Snow

There was snow yesterday! My owner and her OtherHalf had to go into town on some errands so I went with them ofcourse.

After we finished our errands we went to get something to eat. I saw these marsipan pigs in the store where we got our lunch.


In the restaurant of the store we got a table at the window so I could look out over the snow covered town.



And yet again Christmassy stuff that shouldn't be yet!

Oh! Sugar. I wonder what it's for.

Checking out the lamp.

Hmmm.... hot chocolate! so that's what the sugar was for.

I hope it keeps on snowing. I'm totally ready for it.

I could even walk through if I use this glove.

On our way home I just had to take this picture of the New Church.



The rest of the day I kept close to the window so I could look at the beautiful snow.

Another Trip to the Hardware Store

I went with my owner and her OtherHalf today on another trip to the hardware store. Outside of the store I spotted this sign that tells you this is where you can park your bike.

After visiting the hardware store we went to Subways for hot chocolate and a double chocolate chip cookie!

And here I am with the all purpose vacuum cleaner that we bought to get rid of all the sawdust and other dust that had accumulated during the renovation. I love it's bright yellow colour!

Penguin and Bear

On our gazillionth trip to the hardware store for wood and paint and such I saw they had build a Christmas display. Now I am of the opinion that there shouldn't be any Christmassy stuff anywhere before Sinterklaas (which is on the 5th of December) I have to admit this penguin and bear were really cool!

Koop Zondag

Today it was Koop Zondag and so we went shopping for our house.
(Koop Zondag = Buy Sunday. Shops aren't open here on every Sunday, only on some special Sundays)

One of the things we needed to buy was a toilet seat.

There were lots of different toilet seats.

I saw one that would be perfect for Hammie and G.!!

Look: there's another ladybug on the seat itself!

We finally settled for a wooden toilet seat and then went on to the next store.

On our way to the next store we spotted this sign.
Baby Dump? Now that's not nice!

But we didn't have any babies to dump, so we went to the carpet store to look for a new carpet.

I thought this one was nice and warm, but I was over ruled as my owner and her OtherHalf thought it was too light in colour.

Finally we ended up in the IKEA where I met a relative and a..... Well, I think it was a sheep, but I was too afraid I'd get clobbered if I asked.

Card and Garden Center

I got a card from Hammie today!
He's been to France and had an amazing time there. Be sure to check out his blog.

I visited a large Garden Center together with my owner and her OtherHalf today.

I really liked these plants. They have a lovely colour and they smelled very nice.



I saw these cool pig statues!

There were also lots of fish at the Garden Center, they were beautiful, but really expensive I thought.



And look: I found a really large teacup!

At first I had trouble to get out of it again, but luckily I finally managed to get standing and get out of there.
