All this excitement!!!

The past few minutes have been jam packed with excitement!!!

First, we saw a little puppy dog in our back yard. Our fully fenced back yard. Apparently the back gate had been left open and a little doggy meandered in the yard. We coaxed him inside...he was shivering violently...and dried him off. The boys said they knew who he belonged to so I called and we returned him. Well.....talk about opening a can of worms. The boys are now ALL ABOUT getting a puppy. Presley cried when we gave him back. (Pres bonded with him in that total of 10 minutes we had him in the house) So now the fight is on.....4 boys, one husband against...Mom. Dog or no dog....that is the question.




Tarin is Superman tonight. So he wanted me to take a picture of him "flying." :)










So....the biggest news of the night is the loss of Kellen's tooth!!!!! Him and Tarin were wrestling in the living-room when n ear-piercing scream rocked the house. Tarin hit him in the face and the tooth (that had been VERY loose...it twisted in his mouth...it stuck straight forward...etc) had been knocked out. This is quite a relief, actually, because he had been having trouble eating....and if you know my kids, you know how bad that can be. They are bottomless pits and consume any and all food available.
So now Kell can eat. And we are hoping that the tooth fairy can fly here through the snow. :)

Okay...this is coming from a dog LOVER...but you should totally get the boys a dog! Dogs are so sweet:-) For four boys i'd get a golden, or a lab, a really sweet dog, but that can withstand their ruff-housing!!! The first few months are kinda hard, with the potty training, but after that it's smooth sailing! Plus it will teach the kids responsibility and to care for and to love animals! :-)

Oh, I know, I know.
I am getting a TOTAL guilt trip from the hubby and kids. I guess my whole argument is that I already have SO MUCH to take care of and deal with....and I do not want to addd another thing to the list that requires so much time, attention....and that smells, is loud, sheads, needs parenting, poops, pees, barfs, slobbers....well, you get the idea. Heck....that sounds like another baby! Ha! ;)
Oh....and the hubby wants a Boxer.

A boxer? what is it with men and boxers? Mine wanted one of those too...but i won! Haaa*** Boxers are REALLY active! But they say they are great dogs, and for 4 boys, it might not be a bad thing!
I know people always think dogs are all this work, but they really aren't! The first few months when they are babies, yes, it's a little more work. You have to potty train, but if you take them outside every hour or so and right after they have eaten, they will be trained really fast. After they are potty trained, dogs really take care of themselves. All you have to do is remember to let them go "potty" every 4-6 hours or so, and feed them twice a day and that takes about one minute! I brush mine when we are watching TV, and i have two shelties (long haired dogs!) it's not that bad! ( i know i'm a dog lover...sorry!)
