Moofut's Creator!!!

Today we saw Sarah, Moofut's Creator, at the Old Strathcona Market. We told her about our blog and invited her to see what Moofut has been up to. Thank you Sarah for your incredible talent and for forfeiting Moofut to our care. He loves to crawl into small, warm places and sleep in our bed (which is not allowed), and he loves car rides and dancing. We will introduce him to Bromyard, the monster we adopted on behalf of other friends, but we will have to put Bromyard away today because if we play with him for too long he will end up staying with us, just like Moofut did 2 years ago.

Moofut's first Teeter-Totter ride!

Allan, Dustin's fellow student and Sandy Allan's wife of one week, went to Fort Steele with us, and when we saw the See-Saws, as Allan called them, we couldn't resist! Thanks Allan and Sandy for a great day with us!!!

Elevator Adventure...

After experiencing the elevator at the historic Hume Hotel in Nelson. We decided that Moofut needed a ride!

Stay Out!

Moofut spotted this sign when we stopped for a washroom break.

Bound for Bountiful

We had a really exciting day today, but we are waiting for some pictures and then we will give you the low down.

Tomorrow morning we are driving to Nelson BC so we can stay overnight and go the Ainsworth Hot Springs. On the way we are going to drive through Bountiful to show Moofut where the Fundamentalist Mormon sect lives. Apparently there is a store there, so we'll buy something and take pictures. I'm not planning on joining, I like having one husband all to myself.

Stay tuned...

Moofut's other Valentine's wish..

Well after the Cranbrook Ed incident, Moofut promised to be good for the rest of the day. He asked if he could go and see the nice lady at Starbucks and have a special drink. Thanks to Jean and Martin we still had some gift card left from New Years, so we said "okay"! He picked a green tea lemonade, which we all shared! All's well that ends with special drinks for Moofut!

We also love you!

Family Bed Gone Wrong

Going against the advice of such experts as Scotty, Moofut was allowed to stay in our bed for an entire night. As per Scotty's advice, Moofut developed some bizarre attachment issues. He was flipping out and as a result required some serious time out in the corner. We hope this is as far as it will go. Should have listened to Scotty!

Must Have Been a Party

The owners of Elizabeth Lake Lodge invited us for dinner on Friday. The gave us apple cider, port, and a rum laced fruit smoothie. After playing cranium for 3 hours Andrea and I felt quite tired and the fatigue lasted well into Saturday. Although we do not ascribe to the idea of a family bed, we had to let Moofut in so he could sleep it off as well. Might of been the 2, 4, 6 pack, I don't know but look at the mess I'm in. It was great to get some social contact!

Moofut loves animal prints!

Growing up with vegetarians isn't always easy, but we think Moofut is catching on to our animal loving ways. He was touring around Fabricland with Andrea and all of sudden he was gone. She found him in the animal prints section stroking the sky fabric. I guess he's picked the fabric he wants for his quilt. Monkeys and skies for Moofut, stay tuned...

Snuggling with Moofut

Cranbrook weather has turned cold. My apologies to those in Winnipeg, Edmonton, and anywhere else it's chilly, but when we arrived it was 4 degrees out and now it's -16, with humidity, so that's more like -20 or so. It started snowing lightly just a few minutes ago. I think it snows a lot here. It's so pretty!

Moofut has moved closer to the heater as our little suite is not always very toasty, though we are used to that as our little house is downright frigid most of the time. I have my slippers, so that helps, but I should have brought the sweater my Grandma made me in high school. It's so snuggly. By Saturday it should be up to 1 degree again and then it will be back to slush. We are both getting those brown spots on the back of our pants from walking and kicking up the slush. Oh well, that's what washing machines are for.

On the plus side, Dustin's hair has been amazing since he's been here. It's curling so well because of the humidity. Mine is really waving well too. I haven't even plugged in my blow dryer since I got here. This week is all about simple and lazy. Next week I may try to do my hair, but I'm not committing to anything. Moofut doesn't have hair, so thankfully we don't have to make him brush it.

Burrowing Moofut

After the long, harrowing trip, Moofut and the Mopers were more than ready to emerge from their confinement. Moofut was more confined then we were. We told you in an earlier post that he liked to burrow in our shopping bags, but duffle bags are good too.

Introducing Moofut Moper!

Moofut Moper , as seen here, was adopted for our niece Anna. We brought him home and stared at him for too long, and, we fell in love with him. Sorry Anna, once he started dancing and burrowing in our shopping bags, we knew he was home. He is our little friend, and travelling companion, and the inspiration for this blog.
Please come along with us to Cranbrook BC where Dustin will learn the fine art of Timber-frame building. When we get to Cranbrook, we will keep you apprised of our successes and failures. We arrive January 1st, weather permitting.
