All sorts of junk..........................................................

Tomorrow he will be 2! T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W!!! Where have the last 2yrs gone.....................Oh I remember each and every time I look at my face but anyway.... I just can't believe it......

We had preschool conferences(like they are really ness.) but it was super fun to gush over my little lady who just happens to be a ROCKSTAR in school!! super awesome and smart and kind and blowing the teachers mind in a few areas(go Norah, go Norah)!!

Tomorrow also starts what's bound to be a super fun soccer season(please read the sarcasm in my voice) you know cuz 2 are in it and one has practice at 5 and the other at 6.. WOO HOO and we get to keep a toddler happy on a field with a ball to play with that he wont want bc it's not one of the ones they are using and neither one of us will want to be on the playground WAY above the field with him missing one of the kiddos practices.... Oh hell, pray for us......

oh oh oh and on Friday we get to go and meet a "sounds perfect" potential most perfect dog to add to our house... We are gonna go and give him a kid test :-) If he passes it'll be sweet and Chris will be the happiest man on the planet. If not we will be a little sad but I have a back up in mind to see on Sunday who happens to be (In my mind) a little more size wise and age wise perfect..............
If it's not ment to be this "Frank" will growl at the little man and we'll be on our way and will hopefully meet "Yoda" on Sunday....

I am in love with our new.......spring loaded gate :-)!! Sure wish we would have thought about it oh lets say a month ago!!!!!

It's turning out to be much harder than I thought to find that next "perfect dog"!!
*****sigh***** I know just have patience you say, well know what...........WE DON'T HAVE ANY!! ********double sigh*********

so ymmy

Man I love chocolate and ya know as a child I wasn't a fan of the stuff, not really. I didn't even like cake. I LOVED ice cream and would only eat German Chocolate cake, any other kind..no way!!(My first pregnancy ended my cake aversion)
I have been wanting chocolate cake for 2 days (thanks KJ) Yesterday I resisted and we bought cupcakes but those only lasted the night and well I kept thinking of this cake I saw at Meijers....chocolate mocha torte..............

Oh and yes I got chewed out for eating the last cupcake for breakfast this morning while the children still slept.....

So having to go to the store for a few things prompted me to go ahead and get that cake(Norah had to remind me in the car on the way there too)


MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM is was/is sooooooooooo good!!!!!!

THE chocolate monster, I just wanted to lick him clean, not to would have been chocolate abuse!! :)

Ha

I gotta tell ya. With each and every kid Chris has been all about telling them what our names are and thinking it's cute when they use them. NOT me, I don't think it's right. Well it wasn't a problem before because each one never took to it but this time with child #3... Let's just say Chris is not so happy with himself this time, all we hear is "Hi Chris" or "Chris help" or "by Chris" you get my drift. He's been home for all of 5 minutes and I think I've heard it 4-5times already :-) Serves him right I tell ya!!!

Finished

goodbye little buddy! Norah is doing well by the way, if she needs to tell you she says her dad accidently left the gate open:) mission accomplished

Now if I could just figure out why the big kid KEEPS LEAVING IT OPEN!! Seriously, he's NEVER left it open and now all of a sudden each and every time and all he says is "oops, it was an accident" 2x now the pug has almost made it to the road!!
Had a nice talk about how we may not be so lucky next time and the poor dog might not die right away and will be in pain and how none of us want that and that if it were to happen again there would be no more getting of dogs because it's to hard on our hearts!!!

Yes we have on it's way a hinge type locking thingie for the gate so that you don't even need to shut it, it does it all by itself :-) Please hurry shipping company, please hurry!!!





good bye good friend!!

The younger 2 are indeed happy in this picture and the big kid... I don't know, I think he's getting hormonal already on me...................

At the suggestion of one of my girlfriends I went out yesterday and purchased this

and I also got these to decorate it


The plan is for each of us to paint a side, I had a few pictures printed off and when I get his ashes back we are going to spend some time writing down all the good and funny things we liked so much about Zero and put those in the box too......

This one is turning out to be really hard for me too.. It's one thing when they are old and sick and you are giving them peace(still hard but easier) and it's another all together when they get a screw loose in their head and decided to not like people(no matter how much training you have done) and get very fear aggressive and then snap at and break the skin on a baby.(still hard but WAY easier) Zero was in so many ways an awesome little, fun dog that was taken at the ripe age of 2........................
We'll get there, yup we will:)

**Quick update to previous post**

It would seem that Norah has "chosen" to believe that it really was an accident and that it being an accident no one is to blame. That or she is believing that dad really was the last one in and the plan was to go back out but that he had been distracted and forgot...
EITHER way the poor child has learned the lesson,(NOT the way I would have chosen for her to learn it) Yesterday and once today she has been the last one in and I've watched her stop turn around and shut the gate..
(The Norah of past HARDLY EVER shut the gate without being told to)

We will begin looking for our perfect rescue dog to help fill this HUGE whole in our hearts and hands when we walk the dogs and just ya know........................only no more mostly DARK doggies for us and I'm going to go looking for some reflectors to attach to the dogs collars and tags!!
