Fun(ny) Friday

 

Oh Barkley

For those that are like "yah yah yah... you got a puppy... we've seen a million pics of him... move along..." this is NOT the post for you... There will be a MILLION more.... we are obsessed :)

Trying to figure out if he wants to take his very LAST dip EVER in Aunt Nancy and Uncle Danny's pool. I dare say next year I will NOT be able to pick him up and set him gently away from the liner on the side of the pool :) 

Watching his girls... do you see the mermaid there? 

He opted to stay OUT this time... good call cuz really... who likes a wet dog???

I dropped a green bean cooking dinner....

He was LESS than impressed...

Snuck the seat vs. the floor....

and STILL loves being picked up :) 

Minnie's face in this pic... I LOVE LOVE LOVE it... sheer JOY!

We have been working REALLY hard with the vacuum cleaner... considering I have it out every other day I really want him to be comfortable with it and allow me to vacuum him... he has made GREAT gains and will now stand and let me suck all the hair... he's doing SO well... until I head for the living room for some reason.... hahaha he jumped up on the couch SO FAST and hunkered RIGHT down behind Minnie... his favorite hiding spot....

and all because of the vacuum!

 

But look how HANDSOME he is! :) 

His hair is definitely changing and we avoid brushing his head because we want it to stay so fuzzy for so long....CountryDad thinks he'll have Golden Retriever Hair.... jury is still out for the Mouse House

The LONG Weekend

 We had a FANTASTIC EXTRA long weekend with no work/school on Friday and Labor day Monday!!! Husband had practice on Friday AM and I zipped to get my last pedi until spring....but then we were home home home! 

Tons of outside/backyard time...

A few camp fires....

and we even ate dinner out there per Minnie's request...

Husband and the gals did a family party in the big city while I got the inside of the house company ready and when he got home he cleaned up my dead daisies... now I need to dig them up and move (get rid) of some...

and we played countless games of cornhole :)

THIS was NOT my finest moment... ACK... SUCH an annoying 24 hours... this is called... "I'm on the roller coaster and I CAN'T GET OFF"

Fun visits from pups :) Koda has figured out there is a new friend at the Mouse House and they are so cute! I texted Heather these pics and she said "I didn't even know he was OUTSIDE" sneaky little buggers....

and on Sunday these are the only pics from the Draft... Minnie keeping Clay entertained...

and loving every second of it....

We spent Monday running a few errands together as a family, I did some meal prep for the week ahead and then we just ENJOYED being home.... here comes the MORE chaos....

School Dayz

 

Bulletin Board :) I am SO SO proud of this...we drew names out of a hat and the board is going to rotate staff... so fun!

 

Back at the menu planning, scheduling, sports and controlled chaos
