goodbye

Well tonight we lost our very good, dear little buddy :( My bestest jogging buddy, our 25 doller rescue dog to a car.....
Turns out that the gate was accidentally left open and I was not aware of it. Let the dogs out, forgot I let the dogs out cuz ya know we have family in town from Lansing staying with us this weekend. Remembered that I had let dogs out about 20min later and went out. Dogs were gone... Onyx came back first from the back panting like crazy... Next is Isis the little pug ACROSS the street, get her in the house and Zero is the last to find........A man in a van is talking to Jon and apparently he saw a little brown dog get hit by a car and was kind enough to stop and put him on the side......

Our little buddy was gone...........



Oh and my super smart daughter becomes hysterical for the next hour because she was the last in the house and left the gate open! No amount of convincing her otherwise will make her think differently...poor little girl :-(

Easy

I was going to post some fun pictures from today.........***Stupid blogger***

Today I decided to take it easy! Which ment that the nasty mess from last night stayed in the basement until after Chris got home from work and it also ment that the breakfast dishes were on the counter until just about 3pm. It also ment that the house wasn't vacuumed until about 4ish....
I am so glad I did because it looks like I will be working Tomorrow for a few hours, quite possibly Friday night and then I am scheduled for Saturday. If this happens, today will be the only day I don't work at all.......................PHEW!!!!
I had the fun pleasure of spending my 2.5 hours alone with the little man at the children's museum and boy did we have fun.. Also ran into our friends Aimee and Ben :-) It's so funny to me to go there and see all these parents just standing there and watching their kiddos, I mean I'm all for individual play and such but COME ON at least pretend to be having fun WITH THEM!!:)

So much less worked up(I mean stressed) now that my mornings Monday-Thursday are cut down to just the 1 child for a few hours....SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice!! If I get a second later I will try to post those pictures :)

*****UPDATE*****



THE most favorite part of the museum, the mirror tunnel

My future pianist.......

Such Focus :)

Watch out Ben, Ari's not buckled!!

Look out there's a crazy driver on the road

love

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing. Oh and the massive bag of sea foam that I've been eating for 2 days...Back to this thing, I Love it! Wanna know why? I'll tell ya.......I works amazing feats on both dog and cat alike. Not on kids however(I've tried) but dogs and cats...............Just the sound makes any 4 legged creature in hearing distance RUN, BOLT, SCAT(the name):) It's the best 23. bucks ever spent and I don't have to zap a critter!!
Oh and replacement thingies are(as you can see) 12.99!! Who knew a HUGE BURST OF WHITE AIR could work so well... My coffee is now safe in the cup where I leave it in the mornings:)Among other things... Just ask my sister, she was witness to 2 dogs and 3 or 4 cats sitting pretty and then it made "the noise" I thought she was gonna pee her pants she was laughing so hard!!
-Just another thing I love :) ***sigh***

You know if I was the type of person to get anxiety/panic attacks, this next week or 2 would do it for me.... Just thinking about it makes me sleepless!!!

Oh the lovely sounds she makes..ALL THE TIME!

Just a brief glimpse into what she sounds like when she wants out of the crate. Trust me she just keeps going and going and going like the energizer bunny!!!

Stupid dog keeps getting on my counter and drinking my coffee!!! Last night I got some awesome deals at meijer for some cloths... Fleece zip up $5. turtlenecks $1. pants $4. and I could have kept going but man I'm not made of money :) Erin get your tush to Meijer, cute cloths SUPER cheap.....
This week of cage rest for the dog is almost over, I just might tape for you all how she sounds... Dying Gremlin doesn't quite do it justice:)

one size fits all???

So yesterday Norah dressed herself for church. She had a shirt on that I don't even know where she got it from and then shiny pink leggin's and a skirt with socks... By about 7pm I tell her to go take of her "tights" and put some pants on. I've had it with all the fidgeting and such, they were buggin her... She comes out of her bedroom "mom how bout these pants" and has on a pair of brown capri pants. well those are just fine I tell her and then I take a closer look cuz ya know I've never seen these pants before......................................................

Wait a sec Norah those are Ari's pants!! The ones I was looking for this morning actually........ Well arn't they a nice fit!! She will be 5 in 2 months and he's almost 2!!!! Seriously people they are a 2T and they fit her great, not tight in the waist or crotch and could totally pass for Capri's!!!









Older bro told her to growl or rrraaarrwwww for the camera!
