Yeah, no pictures from Trick Or Treating. I gave Tom the camera. I *know* better than that. If they weren’t blurry, they were solid black (there’s this thing called the flash…)
Anyway, I took some of Julie in her playgirl jacket, the kids with a friend at a “fruit picnic party” (ummm… okay, it’s better than the “candy party” I guess) and there’s a pic of Cassie playing soccer… and… enjoy!
In other news, I was really naughty
(it gets here today!!!)
She likes to hang out in my office so much we moved her bed in here
Just some random pictures today. Been busy catching up with work and trying to fit all the fun stuff we didn’t do over the Summer in *laugh* Hey, I’m gonna partially blame all that crazy rain we had earlier!
Jamie is looking forward to getting back to school. His teacher, who retired last year, is apparently helping out on the 2nd day back, so he’ll get to see her again – she mailed him a card. You’d have thought Spongebob himself was coming.
We aren’t sure yet what we are going to do with Cassie this year. She REALLY does NOT want to go to school (actually she does – she wants to go to Jamie’s school), but she has one year before she’s 5. We’ve talked about a mom’s day out type of thing to easer her into it. I dunno. The other problem is Tom has been too busy to really work with her on her ABCs and stuff – not that she’ll listen to either of us.
Julie is loving having them both home. Here she is being, as I call her, a Belly-Ho… that dog loves to have her belly rubbed. She runs up to me and basically flops over my foot until I rub her tummy. Her hair is almost all grown back in where they shaved her for the spay surgery!
This is Tom… at his computer. Duh.
The rock band had an encore on Monday night… some pics and video are below, but first, this is Julie – her hair is puffing out more and more… what a cutie pie!
…. and the band…
… and the performances…
… and the many faces of an anguished rock star…
Julie found a new friend…
There’s nothing like playing inside on a hot Summer day with your dog and your My Little Ponies (and of course, irritating your older brother). She looks like she is simply up to no good, doesn’t she?
Well, a little more maybe… she was born in mid-January, so whatever… The update on her is that she’s insane. No, really, she flips out when the door bell rings or if she THINKS the door bell has rung. Yeah, I know chihuahua’s are hyper, she’s a cutie. And honestly, she is SO good with the kids and is overall a sweet dog. She had her stitches out a few days ago from her spay surgery and we decided to try on her shirt she got from the Easter bunny… it fits! (Yes, I know – I said I never would – leave me alone). She let me get a few shots of her today too.
She weighs in at 3.5 pounds and they figure she’ll be around 4 full grown at this point. She’s a small little thing, but so cute!
… if only she’d stop pooping and peeing all over my house…
Julie had her spay surgery yesterday. She does NOT like the head cone AT ALL… But gotta keep her from biting at her stitches.
When Jamie comes home from school, Julie is ALL over him. I think she smells the other kids. She also is obsessed with his ears, he is the only one she goes crazy like that for… enjoy!
What a crazy time of the year for me… excuse the rushed post, but wanted to catch up everyone!
Jamie had his first soccer game over the weekend. It was funny to watch all the 5-6 year olds out there. The field was a little wet, they don’t keep score so who cares who won… they had a GREAT time! GO SHARKS!
The “On Strike” below was the kids… I was on a phone call and Tom needed to distract them so he told them if they were good he would bake cookies, Jamie piped up it could be a surprise for Mommy. It was then decided to keep me out of the kitchen to surprise me… thus, the signs…
Poor Julie. She can’t catch a break. She was GREAT for a few days… then Cassie tripped and stepped on her back leg. Cassie felt TERRIBLE, but it really was an accident. Yeah, do you know how much x-rays cost at the vet’s office? I’m seriously paying for this lady’s kids to go to college. It wasn’t broken, but over-extended or something. She got an anti-inflammatory shot and a week’s worth of painkillers. She kind of hung out in her bed for 24 hours and then was back to being a puppy. Her hair is growing out and she’s getting bigger – she’s constantly wanting her belly rubbed. If you walk by her, she immediately flops to her back looking at you, just waiting! AND she’s eating on her own for the most part. She’s still finicky, but whatever. I caught her last night asleep in Jamie’s room – how weird that she sleeps on her back… and she was NOT happy about me and the flash:
That’s it for now… crazy time of the year and it’s going to get crazier… Calgon is very much needed!
