Day 77

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!!!! Are you wearing your green today? *pinch* *pinch* This is one of my favorite holidays! Although, I do not celebrate it like I used to!! Green beer was a MUST HAVE!!!! This year I will settle for gee tea! ;) This day is special to us in another way as well. It is Patty's birthday!!!!! ;) He turns 4 today!  

It's hard to believe we have had this little fluff ball for 4 years! He was such a sweet puppy!

I fell in love with Patty the time I saw him and then when I found out he was born on St. Patricks Day, I just HAD to have him! We adopted him from the Humane Society.

I'm not sure which one is cuter in this picture. Poor Patty was being choked! LOL They both have grown so much!

How could you not take this sweet little puppy home? I just love this picture!

Day 76

Today was FISHNET Homeschool enrichment day. Gabriella loves her enrichment days! She has learned so much from them. Today she learned about the solar system and a few things about each planet. She also learned some grammar in fun little ways. For fun she participated in sewing class and she was in the origami class that I taught. Yes, I taught a class! I have come a long ways! I will be teaching more classes next time as well. Anyways, here is the product of our origami class. We did bunny rabbits, tulips with stems, jumping frogs, and a dog! :)

Day 75

Today I had to go to Spring Lake to get Patty's food. He is on a special food that you can only get at the Vets office. Spring Lake is like on the other side of the world for us. hee hee. I have a friend that lives a little past Spring Lake that we do not get to see that often. So today, since I was in her neck of the woods, we went to lunch!!! It was so good to see Miss Libby!!!! Libby has been such a great friend, even though we don't see each other often. She so graciously watched my mutts when Gabriella was in the hospital for a week with her surgery. We miss her and will miss her even more when she moves! :( But that just gives us a reason to go on a road trip!!!! ;)

Day 74

 Jennifer has been getting all these beautiful cards handmade by Karina. I have been admiring them from afar. ;) Well, today I got one in the mail!!!!!! It was such a nice surprise! I was so excited...yes, I know, it's the little things. Karina made this beautiful card celebrating my favorite Season!!! Thank you so much for thinking of me!

Day 73

Lately we have been going to the first service at church and it has really freed up our Sunday afternoons! It has been nice to have some family time. Today we painted little flower pots.

Here's mine....

And here's Gabriella's....

Now we have Mommy and daughter flower pots! ;)

Day 72

Today we went old school for lunch. We had peanut butter, jelly, and Doritos sandwich. MMMMM There is something about the nutty, sweet taste with a crunch! ;)

Day 71

This was too cute to not post! Gabriella was practicing her dance routine and Rayne was giggling at her. It was so funny! But I must say Gabriella's dancing was even funnier! ;)

Day 70

For the past week we have been watching two very large, but super sweet dogs! I love them so much! 

The brown one, Buster, is my favorite! The black and white one, Sammy, reminds us of Bella.

Buster is a beast!!!! He is almost as long as the couch.

Not quite my idea of a lap dog, but how could you say no to this?

Buster's bark is really loud and scary!!!! He sounds like he is going to attack when he just wants to play with you. The video didn't turn out that good, but it gives you an idea of what he sounds like.

Day 69

Poor Patty Boy has been neglected lately. Between watching Rayne, Pierce, and 4 dogs, he has been put on the back burner. Today we decided to take him out for a little treat.

We took him to Pet Smart so he could pick out something for himself. It was kind of fun to see him looking at all the stuff and sniffing everything. He finally picked out a big green rubber ring.

After he pick out his toy, we went to the treat isle. He actually picked something somewhat healthy! It was organic and made from apples. Patty always did like apples. Hopefully, now he is a little happier!

Day 68

So lately, I have been pretty exhausted and not feeling well. I was making Gabriella some cherry Crystal Light. I was so tired that I poured the powder in the trash instead of the pitcher! LOL If you look closely you will see the pink powder in the center of the picture.
