Thursday...

So Tara's home sick today. I thought it would be a great opportunity to get caught up on school work (my 20 page assignment that I haven't started yet) instead I am cleaning up puke. She's really sick! After cleaning up the last mess, I realize I can't find Spike. Did I put the baby gate up? Did he fall down the stairs? Nope! In the kitchen on the soda box. Sure brought a much needed smile to my face!

YAY!!! I got my puppy! His name is SPIKE and he is the absolute cutest puppy ever! Pictures just don't do him justice. The Cookie jar one was taken when he was 7 weeks old. He is now 9 weeks old and is a little darker and his hair is puffy-er. He is a YorkiePoo- Mom weighs 6 lbs and dad weighs 8 so he should be pretty close to that. He has the sweetest personality and already is sleeping through the night. I couldn't be happier! While I should have been getting ready for my Student Teaching Midterm Observation, I spent the day online looking for cute doggie carriers. I ordered one that looks similar to Burberry Plaid.

Sping Cleaning

I have decided to completely clean my house from top to bottom today. I have three levels so Tara & I will do the top floor, Zach and I will do the bottom floor and all 3 of us will do the middle floor. I am so motivated I am actually paying the kids for their time. It doesn't hurt that Tara needs $20 more for her next New York trip payment. I am using it to my advantage !

Boy do I feel OLD! Tara just got back from a 13th birthday slumber party at one of her friend's houses. They went to the movies (ALONE) went on a scavenger hunt through the neighborhood, had a whipped cream (the kind in a can) fight and went swimming despite the water being freezing, hit the jacuzzi, and stayed up til 4! She had a great time but it sure does make me feel old that they aren't still playing Barbies and Polly Pocket!

Student Teaching & No Puppy

Well I made it through week one of student teaching... YAY! and despite sending me a video of the puppy I want, BJ did not get it for me. I spent all day Sunday looking at pups. Sure would be lots easier if I could just have another baby. Every time I see Rylee Rose I want another one! Not one puppy tugged at my heart enough to make me want to take it home. I guess I have a ridiculously long list of pre-reqs. It'll take a SUPER PUPPY to measure up.
