Random Thoughts

I finished my dad's blanket, and I delivered it to him, but I forgot to take a picture. Oh well. I was so excited to get it to him. He was happy.

The kids are still a bit sick. They have stuffy noses and one is particularly whiny today....

Ralphie got his last round of shots yesterday, and he had an allergic reation. It looked like he had botox done on his lips. I am not kidding. It was sad. He puffed up in the face, and he cried whenever you touched him. Poor dog. It is strange how well he has infilitrated this family and become one of our pack. He is my third child.
*
I am kind of in between craft projects. I really want to start a quilt, but I have some nervousness about it since I've never made one. I don't know why I find quilt making intimidating.
*
It is official: Fall is here. It is cool at night and in the morning.

The kids bundle up to go out to swing. I think I appreciate the swing set as much as the kids. It really frees me up to surf the internet, read, and craft. I am still outdoors with them, and we do chat, but it is not my responisbility to entertain them. As a child I spent countless hours on a swingset. I love listening to them chit chat while they swing or do the teeter totter. It is so nice, and it was the way I had envisioned it. I am not gonna say they NEVER fight out there....Believe me; they do. But the physical activity keeps them occupied and happy. I think they go down for naps and bedtime more easily.

Okay. Enough said. I should start laundry, load the dishwasher, and pick up!

Cabin Fever...already!

Yes, we have a dog. He is a good dog. He prefers to be outdoors, so this is close to torture for him. Being indoors, being bugged by toddlers, and being gated in the kitchen is not is his idea of fun. But, the sleet, snow, and hail are not good for him....So, for now, he will be indoors.


This is Mimi's current favorite toy. She seems to have a rotation of toys. Sometimes it is a baby while other times it is the chimp Diego, but for now it is Oinkers the Pig.


Mr. Oinkers getting royal treatment.


Moe tried to feed Oinkers some of his pop tart.

Have a great Tuesday! And if you have warm weather...don't rub it in tooo much! :)

UPDATE:
Sharon, I have no shame...In answer to your question, which was clearly asked to embarrass me......the dog's name is
Rudy Toot Tootie Bob-a-Looty-Tootie Fruity!
Thanks for asking! :)

Winter weather woes....

Don't get me wrong...The snow is pretty and it is reassuring to actually have some winter weather during the winter months, however I am done with it! We all have cabin fever! There are only so many pictures to be painted, colored, or drawn. And I am tired of play-doh! Oh, to be free to leave the house without fear of the road conditions!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's Day.
