How to tell when your cat is out of water...




Hmm...I think we need to check that more often! Either that or the cat has been hanging around the dogs too much...

Happy Birthday John!

We will officially celebrating both John's and Pam's and Pierce's birthday when we get together for Labor Day. I have a really cute idea for a cake, so I'll post that later!

But for now...Happy Birthday John!

Projects Completed and New Toys Obtained

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks:

Painting the bedroom is now completed.






The second garden plot has been set up and some covers are being made to keep the birds out while things start growing.








Finally, I found a couple of useful new toys off Craigslist.com: a 12 inch miter saw and a drill press.

Ivy's First Days of School

Yup, my little girl has officially started school. Even though it's Kinder-prep and not Kindergarten yet, (she missed the cut off date) it still counts as her first days of school. Complete with the obligitory tearing up mother...but only as I walked to the car! No one saw it! lol






Ivy's having a bit of a rough time adjusting to the new routine, but is making progress. Had a couple of 'melt-downs', as the teacher calls them on Tuesday and Thursday, but not on Friday! Phew! AND we are finally getting her in (Wednesday) to be assessed for Developmental Delay and Speech Therapy. Once she starts speaking better, that will help ease her temper. But she sure loves going to school! She asks every day when she gets to go...

We survived the first week! Wahoo!
