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?

6/09 - My babies are growing up!

Today, we celebrated a big milestone.  Our little twins graduated from Pre-K!  So many thanks to the very-patient Miss Karen, who has been teaching pre-school in our town for 30 years -- and still loves it.  As my mom would say, bless her heart.

Here is smiley Lil' Guy, who will always do the party trick:

Here is petulant Lil' Gal, who will never do the party trick.

And here are new toys from Mommy and Mama, who are so very proud of our big kids.

(Smiley now, isn't she?  Interesting.)
