Right. Home again, home again...

Riggety Jig.
So I'm back home. We had a great time visiting Minnesota. And I only planned on being there a week, but after about 3 days my oh so loving hubby calls and asks "Do you think you could stay there longer?" What? Seriously, come on folks...aren't they supposed to miss you and want you to come home? - Obviously not. But, all joking aside, he did have a reason. He wanted to surprise me, and the surprise was our finished (well practically finished) bathroom. It has been in a state of chaos for...well probably about a year! GEEZ! And J finished painting and took out the old carpet and put in new linoleum! I'm so excited to actually have a bathroom again.
M, E and I went to aunt Megan's house and got to play with my her and her family. M loves to go and play with her cousins - who also adore her...at least for the first week! Maybe having people stay in your home for two weeks loses its appeal! We also spent time at Grandma Jo's and aunt Erin's, which was also fun. They have a pool and we got to swim a few times.
I also got to see my dentist while I was there - but low and behold I ended up needing 3 fillings!! But now my teeth are fixed!
I will attempt photos soon.

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...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
