Happy Wednesday


Me: Luke, what do you like to do in the snow?
Luke: Ummm, eat da ice, sandwich…
Me: Eat the ice sandwich?
Luke: Un-huh.

Me: What else do you like to do?
Luke: slip da ice
Me: slip on the ice?
Luke: Yea-ah. I fall down.


Yes, I know! Small wonder that we get nasty viruses around here! Where is this child’s mother and why is she allowing her son to run around in the snow with bare feet?!
3 Months
I tried twice today to have a little photo shoot with Enoch, and both times, I had trouble getting him to smile…instead he was gnawing frantically on his arm and fists…maybe he’s teething, or maybe he’s shy of having his picture taken.
New Dog(?) and a Haircut
Well, we may or may not have a new dog…depending on how the next few days/weeks go.
As far as the kids know, she’s just staying with us for a few days. The main issue is her pottying….I think she’s house trained, but we’re not in tune with her signals, so it’s been a bit unpleasant. If we can master this issue fairly easily, then we’ll probably keep her. She’s an older female dog (around 10 yrs) whose owner had to move to a rest home. She’s very sweet and very(too?) attentive, in true lab style. I alternate between thinking she’s sweet and finding her annoying. Talk about needy! LOL The kids are having fun though, because she plays fetch, is great on a leash….oh, and she likes to howl when Enoch is crying. Yes, our house is just an oasis of calm and rest!
Here they are playing fetch for a few minutes before school:
And, totally unrelated….but Luke had a haircut today….can you tell?
The only way to succeed at this is to plant him in front of “The Berenstein Bears” and threaten to turn it off whenever his fussing escalates. Even so, I have to work VERY fast. LOL Hmmm…maybe not the best discipline.
Oh, and doesn’t he still have such a cute little baby shape?
