Mom made blueberry muffins that are almost more blueberries than muffin! I barely got to even sniff them before Mom took them away and ate them all!?

We love week four of Tortie Scouts: Arts and Crafts!! One of our favorite hobbies is crocheting little plushies, or amigurumi. I help by making sure Mommy is not using noms as yarn and by inspecting our plushies to ensure they are up to snuff. Here is a sneak peek at some of our current projects! We just started on a housewarming present for friend Samwise, and we are finally almost done with our set of seven little turtles (and Superman!) for some nice people we are hoping to visit soon. You can see all of our completed amigurumi over here, and our other crafty adventures here and here.

Happy Halloween, Tumblr!
Just me because Lunchbox doesn’t like costumes and logistical reasons prevented Mommy from giving Lunchbox a Halloween photoshoot.
You can see lots more photos of me in my costume right here. If you think these photos of me are cute, wait till you see the rest! Mom also posted her pattern for my costume there.
Happy October 1, friends! October means Halloween is just around the corner! Last year, I dressed up as a (tiny, adorable) pumpkin for Halloween. What do you think I should be for Halloween this year?
Happiness is a pretty little sachet that smells like sugar cookies! Mommy made this sachet years before I was born. You can see more details about it over here.
Mommy and I (indirectly) got free goodies from a tech conference! A new stuffie for me, and a new tablet for Mommy (her first!)!

A squishy mushroom for our edible-mushroom-growing friend qvoro! Before we declared the mushroom finished, I tested it for balance and nom-ability. It passed with flying squishy-ness! Click here for details and more photos of the squishy mushroom.
Cinnamon overload meringues: the cinnamon lover's meringue cooke! Recipe and more photos over here. Silly me forgot to take photos of the meringues with Kirby. Sorry about that!
Like any proud parent, Mommy took lots of pictures of me in my graduation attire. Aren't I fabulous?

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies in the world!
I showed my mommy how much I love her by not nomming this pretty rose that she made for her mommy several years ago. You can see more details about it over here.
Lunchbox Love Last summer, Lunchbox discovered something new on the deck: A delicious big green leaf! Lunchbox loved his leaf so much that he paraded around the entire deck with it waving from his mouth. Poor Lunchbox got so mad at me when I took his leaf away! (I didn't know if the leaf was poisonous, and it probably had fertilizer and/or pesticides on it anyways.) You can see more photos of Lunchbox's leaf parade in my post last summer over here. (As you can see, he didn't used to be so chubby!)
Lunchbox Love Another video that always makes me smile, this one taken when Lunchbox turned 9: Lunchbox loved his finger food! He never did learn...although he was getting better! (If you compare that video with this one, you can see how much he grew between turning 9 and turning 10!) (Don't worry, I fed him real food right before and right after taking this video.)
Lunchbox Love One of my favorite Lunchbox videos: Roly poly grapes are delicious, but tricky to eat! Lunchbox insisted he had everything under control, but when this was still happening many minutes later, I intervened, as you can see here.
Red is the most terrifying color in existence. Unfortunately, so many delicious noms, like raspberries and this strawberry, are red! I solve the dilemma by eating them with my eyes closed. My genius strategy didn't work so well when this strawberry got stuck on my beak. Spinning around didn't work either. It's a terrible tragedy that blueberries just don't taste as good.
Three years ago, I grew a moustache just before Pi Day. I kept my moustache for almost a whole month. Then I painted all my nails black. My human laughed at me and told me I looked like a mariachi. HARUMPH.
