Puppy week two pics

We all can't wait to see her with her eyes open, but here are the newest pics of her. Still searching for names. Sadie wants to call her Strawberry Cupcake for some reason... I think that we will probably go with a Japanese name, but I am still not sure. Got 4 more weeks to think on it...

Western Day this weekend...

Well, our "little" town of Lewisville is going to be celebrating the annual Western Day tommorrow. There is much excitement in the house. I think that the best part of it listening to the preview provided by Sadie...

Western Day is tommorrow, and the cows are going to walk down the road. Then they will tell us a knock knock joke. There is going to be a GRAND MARSHALL, and he will tell us "Ladies and gentleman, come one, come all to Western Day" The GRAND MARSHALL is her favorite guy.

The anticipation is almost too much to bear for another day.

I know that I can't wait to see Joey Chestnut stuffing his face full of tamales. There is just something really hot about a scrawny man stuffing food down his throat as fast as possible...
YIPPEE!!!

New baby pics...

I just recieved these new baby pics of our little girl. I am all giddy, reading up on the breed that she is, and planning for her arrival. This is the first time I have ever gotten a puppy like this, and it is almost like planning for a baby!

The name suggestions so far are Elvira, Morticia, and Wednesday since it will be October when we get her. And Sadie has suggested Cupcake. We are going to be open for suggestions before it becomes poll time...LOL.

Working on my insanity plea...

I have just made the decision to add this adorable little puppy to our family... She was just born 2 days ago so she won't come home for 6 weeks. I know that everyone must think that I am insane, but I just thought that I would share that it is part of my master plan for my insanity plea...

There, now you all don't have to be so worried anymore! I hope that everyone in my home sleeps well tonight.

Rainy days...

Perhaps the hardest part of having a child with sensory issues is when they don't like rainy days...

School is really going well, considering Ben and Lucie have been tardy every day this week. They didn't get tardy slips until today, and Ben looked like he was going to cry. Today was perhaps the most understandable tardy of the week.

Last night I got Ben to karate. He was in a great mood. He took two tests yesterday, and had gotten his new English pak. He has his Social Studies test today, and he is really on target for this year. I am so proud of him, and so are the teachers. During karate, it began to rain. It was all he could do to get from the door to the car. Not a fun experience.

Today it WASN'T raining when we got out of bed, but that changed as we were getting ready for school. He made it half way to the car, and then he just stood there frozen. It took like 5 minutes to get him to move, and he was drenched. It was lovely. Crying in the car. Trying to listen to Barry Manilow so that we can make it through the day. Can't walk through the puddles in the parking lot at school to get into the building. UGH!!!

I have to clean the garage out and get my door working again. He has to be able to just get into the car and go. This outdoor stimuli is getting to be way too much. I cant' focus on that right now, I have to work on the school stuff. Just want to go back to bed and cover my head up...

It was only 73 degrees outiside this morning!!!

I about froze my rear end off as I was at the park with Sadie and her best friend Katie. The only thing that keeps me going right now is the fact that they never mind if I practice my photography. I am just sad that my camera is broken and I have to work so hard to get the shots with my little one. Still comes out okay sometimes....
