Oh, No She Didn't! But She Did!

November 16, 2010

Mothers of toddler age daughters have a couple fears.

One is pictured below.

I love how she puts it on her upper lip like a mustache! Ha!

What child doesn't wonder what it would be like to cut their own hair?

The only hope a parent has is that they'll intercede before this tragic action happens.

In this case, it was too late.

Ty was distracted helping Talmage use a glue gun for an art project, when he looked over in Maidies direction just in time to see her in what appeared to be a slow motion scene from a movie. Scissors raised, Ty yells, "NOOOOOOO", but it was too late.

Oh well, it's hair, it will.... (*sniff*) always... grow.... (*blow nose*) back!

Rest In Peace

Talmage noticed this the other day.

This little fella (scorpion) found its way into our storage room light fixture and now it's a crispy little (dead... thankfully) critter. Dad's going to LOVE changing this light bulb!

Turkey Feather

November 14, 2010

Talmage came home with a long card stock piece of paper shaped like a turkey feather. It was up to him to design and decorate it to put on their turkey at school. I think it turned out pretty cool.

And, Eric loves Pepper.

Puppy Love

My husband has a new love in his life, and I'm not kidding.

I've heard the old expression, "a boy and his dog", but I never really knew what that meant, until now.

Tyler is crazy about this little "Texas Rat" as some of our friends have called her.

When we agreed to keep Pepper we set up certain rules.

#1. When dad and the boys are home, mom never has to take the dog out, feed her, play with her, pet her, clean up after her, or even acknowledge her existence. When the men

of the house are away, I will step in if the need arises.

#2. When Pepper goes out to do her business, dad or one of the boys will accompany her

and immediately dispose of her fertilizer gifts.

#3. Pepper will never be allowed upstairs where all of our bedrooms are.

It is a "safe" Pepper-free zone.

#4. Pepper is never allowed to sit on the couches and ABSOLUTELY

she is never to sit on my couch pillows.

#5. Pepper is not allowed any table scraps of any kind.

#6. Pepper will never sleep on our bed. She sleeps in her house, which doubles as her crate.

Yeah, pretty much every rule but #6 has been broken and tossed out the window. Tyler has already told me that rule #6 will eventually be broken. I'm CONFIDENT this rule will never be violated.

Dogs are a slippery slope....
