semesters end

So this semester is finally over - I got an A in Accounting 2 and a B in payroll accounting. And that is all I took this semester - b/c E was enough of a distraction!
Everything is going really good. E is growing like crazy, and is needing more entertainment now. He has slept from about 9 pm to 5 or 6 am the last 4 nights! which is extrememly exciting for me! M is good; a little bossy from time to time, but less whiney than she used to be. Potty Training is good - except she doesn't like to go by herself (even though she can) and she fears automatic toilets and practically refuses to go in one - or cries the whole time she is.
J is still working. And that's the most can be said on that front - he doesn't necessarily like his job, nor does he dislike it. It's a job, and he likes working outside.
Sugar has basically doubled in size. She is a good puppy though. She listens well when you say no...a couple times...and she usually warns you when she needs to go to the bathroom; she will sit at the front door and whine and we have about 3 seconds to let her out or she will find somewhere else to do it; She sits before she goes outside, or gets our of her kennel. all in all we still like her!
and that's about all I have to update....possible pictures later.

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
