4/10 - Spring break doggie tea party

I was wishing I could spend some of the kids' spring break at home, but being out with an ear infection and pink eye wasn't exactly what I had in mind...  Still, Lil' Gal and I had fun having a tea party, for doggies only.

This ficus tree was not doing well, so I pruned him way back.  Lil' Guy asked me, "Where is his head?"  I explained that plants don't have heads, but the ficus *did* look somewhat decapitated.  So Lil' Guy offered up a ball, and suddenly the ficus looks much happier.  Please wish him well.  (And me too, before I consider decapitation as an option.)

4/06 - Full Easter baskets (and sinuses)

I stayed home sick again today.  The ear infection is slightly better, but still way more awful than acceptable parameters.  While I lay moaning around the house and sleeping (or devouring The Hunger Games), the kids had a great egg hunt at school, and Cinnamon Dog tried to comfort me.

While washing everyone's sheets, I tossed in a few friends.  Don't Cornay and Snoodles clean up nicely?

11/07 - Two Coins in a Washer

Today, Lil' Gal gave me two shiny coins to play with.  Here they are with Cornay and the wet stuff from last night.  (Sigh.)

Here they are with Grandmother, as we enjoyed a Mexican brunch  (I do love me some green chilaquiles.)

We liked this mural on the side of the restaurant.

10/18 - Cornay helps me through a sick day

Lil' Gal's favorite sleeping friend is Cornay, a flying horse she picked out when she was two instead of the doll we intended to get her.  Cornay, in her mind these days, is a male dog who is very brave and handsome... and the hero of all her bedtime stories.

This morning, Lil' Gal told me that Cornay could keep me company today and make me feel better on my sick day.  Awwww.  Here we are catching up on our magazines.

Here we catch up on our computer stuff.  (Not pictured:  the 6-hour nap from heaven.)
