  • Ten on Thursday

    1.    When did my kids get this big?! The girls look soooooo old! 2.    And why is the dog on the couch???? (They are all too cute for me to yell at – we had a very rough weekend and now Daddy is out of town, so I'm cutting everyone some slack.) 3.     I spent hours yesterday making and… Read more

  • Another crazy puppy

    Bwahahahaha!!!! Read more

  • Things I learned while I was sick

     Today is day 4 of being sick. Stuffed up head, headache, runny nose, runny eyes, body aches, chills, sneezing, etc… Yesterday was the worst and I spent most of the day either sleeping or laying on the couch with my eyes closed. And it's amazing what you can learn when you feel like dog poo.… Read more

  • Babying him just a bit

    I must be softening up in my old age. Or perhaps it's just that I want to show that I'm not always a mean doggy mommy. 😉 But, after seeing this the other night:  I caved. I had to. He had fallen asleep all smooshed up against the basement door while mourning his wittle stuffed… Read more

  • He’s getting to me

    Instead of staring at me all day long, now he’s turned away and is staring at the basement door. 🙁 Read more

  • The first amputation

    I swear – Sawyer needs to get his own blog. I really will post about something other than him soon. But he is being such a stinker these days that it's hard not to post it. Look at this! He thinks I can't see him. He went around the side of the kitchen island. BUSTED!… Read more

  • Why I’m a mean doggy mommy

    The kids have moved many of their "non-essential" stuffed animals down to the playroom. They have many, many more upstairs in their rooms and Sawyer doesn't go upstairs. But, wow, does he love the playroom now that the stuffies are down there. Here's the pile where Sawyer found the wittle stuffed puppy. Sawyer has a… Read more

  • A new love

    I hid the wittle stuffed puppy. Apparently, wittle blue hippos are just as much fun. And not looking at mommy still makes you invisible. Read more

  • For just a moment

     For all of you who are rooting for Sawyer to get his wittle stuffed puppy, here you go. He got him! But just for a moment. Because right after this loving bath he gave the cute wittle stuffed puppy, he took a much less gentle approach.  Now, who do you feel sorry for?! Read more

  • He brought in reinforcements

    Ever since Sawyer discovered Emily's wittle stuffed puppy this weekend, he has been inconsolable. Instead of sleeping in the kitchen all day like he's done his entire life, he now lays in front of the basement door (the wittle stuffed puppy resides in the basement) all day long and silently begs. He has perfected puppy… Read more
