It's puppy day!!! Yay!!!

I was up earlyish this morning, but laid in bed for a while!! Couldn't lay around too long because it was PUPPY DAY!!! So once I got up at about 8AM I grabbed a shower and then dressed! Then we hung around because daddy wasn't calling the seller until like 10AM. So we left shortly before 10AM and went to WalMart to get the puppy a blanket and I got some treats too! Then we headed to Petco to pick up the carrier, a doggie poop thing and some other training treat things. By this time it was 11AM and Gman was complaining for a snack so I just decided to take them to Mickey's for an early lunch. Just as we sat down to eat daddy texted the address and the time we needed to pick the dog up by!!! Woo Hoo!! So we ate and then hit Wal Mart again real quick for water, a collar and a leash and then we were on the road!! We got their shortly after 1PM. 

We were there for probably 30 minutes and then we headed to Altoona and Daddy's store to show him the puppy!!! She was so cute and kind of afraid in the van, she actually jumped up and sat on S's lap! We were at the store for a bit and then we headed home! She rode on the seat between S and CJ the whole way home! Once back in town I got us ice cream and then we went home! The kids were so excited and just wanted to play and play with her!! She wandered around a bit exploring, had a pee accident and then plopped down beside my chair and fell asleep!! Once she was up I took her outside and she peed!! And then the kids played with her for a bit!! Brought her back in and she pooped on the floor!! Ugh!!! Back outside for a bit she went! She played with the boys for a bit and ate some and drank some and then slept a bit more and then she peed on the floor again! This time at least it was the kitchen floor and not the rug!! I put the boys to bed and 9:30PM. The pup is sleeping in the kitchen right in front of the office door and the girls are down stairs watching TV. I'm writing this and waiting for T to come home!! Hope tonight the pup goes easy on us!!!

The Great Cat Stand off of 2014!!

Got up and headed to Wal Mart. Then Gman asked if we could go to Petco and of course we said YES!! It was so cute, CJ spent the whole time petting this one calico cat and it was the cutest and the sweetest cat ever!! He refused to leave the store because he wanted that kitty!! Once we were all in the van T ran back in to get the info on adopting a cat - it's all done through the human society! Is it possible there is a cat in our future!?!?! Then we headed out to lunch and then home to hang! Daddy went out and got us pizza for dinner!

Hello, Saturday!

Daddy was up and out the door early today because he had a meeting in LB. I left most of the kids with S while Gman and I went out shopping for Jocelynn's birthday present! We saw Heidi at Dollar Tree and she let us know Ashley (Gman's teacher) was in labor! When dad got home, I took Gman to his party and dropped him off and then headed back home to pick everyone else up, we had lunch at Ponda-gross-a....oh I mean Pondarosa and it freaking SUCKED!!! I think I ate 2 bits of my salad, a dinner roll with fake butter and 12 pieces of banana bread (the only decent thing in the whole place)!!! I vow never to go back there again, ugh, totally should not have let the kids talk me into going!! Then we hit Petco and let the kids look at all the animals and then back to Jocelynn's house to pick Gman up, just as we got there Heidi got the text that Ashley had the baby, a little boy! The rest of the day was spent just lounging around!!!

Spring has sprung, maybe!!

Today was such a beautiful day - it was 61 degrees at like 2 in the afternoon!!!! We got all out stuff done in the morning that we usually do and I drove CJ into town for school! Then I came home and messed around on my phone (on  Pinterest) for like an hour and then jumped in the shower. After I was done getting ready I headed back into town to get CJ from school. We were meeting Chrissy & Amy at Mickey's for lunch but not until noon so we ran to Dollar Tree to kill some time and then headed to the Wayne Ave McDonald's, of course they were already there and eating so we probably should have just went right after school but oh well!! CJ was of course not social and it was kind of an awkward lunch!! Chrissy had invited us to see an Elmo show at KCAC but I decided against it because I knew that CJ didn't really like the kids and I didn't relish paying $50 bucks for him to just cower on me!! So I said no, but then as we were leaving she was like..."are you sure you don't want to see Elmo...." and CJ was like..."I wanna see Elmo..." UGH!!! So there went $44 bucks!!! Hopefully it won't be a bust!! Then we headed home, but when we were almost there I remembered we needed to run to Wal Mart for milk so back out we went!! Hahaha!! We also stopped at Petco for the first time since R mentioned to me that they had guinea pigs in there. 

CJ and I had a fabulous time looking at all the animals: fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, birds, ferrets, mice, rats, a few cats and of course guinea pigs!! We finally made it home at about 2PM. The kids came home and then the boys played outside till like 5:30PM, it was so warm and gorgeous!! However they were playing with the basketball in the drive way and Gman hit the window that CJ had already cracked and broke it more!! So I made them clean up and come in, it was time for dinner anyways!! I had potato soup on the menu but it was way to nice for that so I just switched it out for Wednesday's meal: Egg sandwiches - the kids did not mind one bit, they love egg sandwiches!! Then it was time to clean up and I sat in my room and folded some laundry. Daddy got home at about 7:30PM and he put the boys to bed for me again!! It was awesome!
