today

(don't mind Mol's mess of hair) - this one is easy to figure out, isn't it? Bean got into the bag of Cheezits when Mol wasn't looking and now Mol is ticked!

Mikie got a new backpack yesterday (his ripped) and he was so excited, he even wore it for breakfast this morning!

Hey all! I would like to post on here more often, sorry it's hard to keep up with all the goings ons :) How ya been? We are great - Mol just went down for her nap and I'm gonna get some work done now (hopefully). The boys are at school today. Bean has been barking at every flake of snow (I think she's losin it for real).

No more calls for showings or anything on the house. I was trying to fold all sorts of laundry this morning but that task seems so endless. At least if we got a call for a showing, the clean clothes wouldn't be in the way!?

Having din din with "big" Molly tonight! Can't wait! It'll be so nice to sit and visit without distractions.

I suppose I'd better hop to other crapola before naptime escapes. Hope you're doing good!?

Gone Scrappin'

Yeah! Today is the scrapbook retreat :) Shawna and I will leave around 3p for a weekend full of great eats, scrapbooking on our laptops and hopefully winning a raffle prize or two! This will be our 3rd year going to this one -

The first year I "won" the digital scrapbook software.
Last year we promoted our business to a gym full of 100+ women.
This year? We will sit and scrapbook. Just do our own thang...

The boys are fighting. Molly and Mikie are fighting. There are magnets tossed all over the kitchen rug. We were playing the Wii until attitudes were flarin' and we had to turn it off. Legos, crayons, and crumbs from breakfast to be cleaned up.

The kids are lookin' forward to some one-on-one time with Dad and I'm looking forward to being (hopefully) creative and scrappin' all weekend!

Toe Fuzz

Molly has this thing with toe fuzzies... she doesn't like them interfering with day to day life. So she removes them... and Hunter's...

good work at the dentist you "amazing patient" you!
mol and jack not really giving dad a fair shot at the wii

jack bowling on the wii

3 kids in a rocket ship this morning

Yeah, you like my socks, you know you're jealous :) This isn't a good picture at all, but this is my knee after falling on the ice yesterday. Umm, it really hurt. And the guy who saw me do it? Nahh, why would he help me up? Alls he said was "I really should get some salt out here so nobody gets hurt..." by the way - my legs don't tan. I'm over it!

Not Ours

Most people have cushy lap sorta dogs who love to go on car rides. Perhaps they like to nuzzle their nose out the ½ opened window and feel the cool breeze on their furry face? Or look out the window longingly at the world of unknowns… wondering what smells are out there, what other dogs they might meet…

NOT OURS. I drove around with Bean for 2 hours last Friday only to find out the people were in fact a “no show” to our house showing. Yep, they were running late and didn’t get here. Here I was, driving anywhere I thought possible. In neighborhoods, but tending to drive on streets where I didn’t have to stop or slow down for fear that would set Bean off. Of course it doesn’t take a slowing down to get her excited, she lept onto our groceries in the back (yeah, I even waited to unload those so I wouldn’t make a mess) 3 times, squashing anything in her path. Then only making things worse when I’d call her to get outta there and she’d step on even more boxes of cereal or toilet paper rolls. Whining the entire time, hopping from back to front, front to back. Sniffing everything, panting, trying to roll down the window that was already opened a crack for her to get fresh air. It was 22 degrees out! She’d hop from where Jack sits to where Molly was and whine to stick her nose out the window. She has honestly rolled the window up on her own head before so I have to “lock” the windows when she rides with us. And to know the folks never came? Ahh, the first of many, I’m sure. The not-so-fun part of trying to sell your house…

I Only Look Sweet and Innocent

Ahh, enjoying life in front of the heater...

Yes, she did open this door to the mudroom. She nudges the door knob until she can get in there.
"What? What's the problem?"
and here is Bean "helping" unload her bones from the groceries...
