weekly phone dump ~ November {week 2}


From left to right:
1.  I didn't realize until later in the day on the 12th, that it was 11-12-13 COOL!
2.  I come home for lunch every day to see Sophie and Bella, and let them outside.  I think they enjoy it as much as I do.  They make me smile!
3.  A little afternoon snack...I am glad these only come 3 to a package, LOL!
4.  I am borrowing an E-collar to try out on Sophie.  She gets super excited when we come home or if someone comes over.  A 70 pound puppy jumping is not OK!!  So far it does not really seem to phase her.
5.  New creamer flavor in the house this week!!
6.  I got this screen on my iPhone on Saturday.  It is NOT a good screen to have!  It means something went wrong with an update, and you need to restore your phone.  Not so bad if you back it up regularly...grrr!!  This is a public service announcement!!  BACK UP YOUR PHONE!!  Mine went back to November 2012, thank goodness I save my photos every week, or else I would have been really bummed!!
7.  We had the kids over for lunch on Sunday (it has been too long since we have done that!!), it was nice to see everyone and catch up!
8.  Sophie and Bella get tired watching me clean the house.
9.  After lunch on Sunday (see #7) Ashley, Jess and I made a burlap wreath, (I ran out of ribbon, so mine is only 3/4 done).  Here is Ashley's (she still wants to add some embellishments), they were super easy to make!! 
(*note~this is taken on our stained concrete floors).  I will show updates soon!!  I just have a lot going on with Josh and Jess' wedding right around the corner ;)

Enjoy Today!

weekly photo dump -- November {week one}



From left to right:
1.  I made this for our Halloween party at work.  I seriously LOVE this stuff!  So glad I brought most of it to work!!
2.  Some days I feel like being curly.
3.  Mike always fills up my gas tank and gets my car washed.  He is a pretty great guy!!
4.  This week on the agenda was doggie baths, let me tell you, the pups were dirty!!  Especially with all the dust from our renovation projects (photos coming soon).  Sophie LOVES getting a bath, she usually waits for us in the tub.
5.  Bella is not as much of a fan of baths, but I am happy to report, both pups smell great now.
6.  Sophie completed her AKC Good Citizen class on Thursday, we are so proud of her!!  We know people are afraid of pit bulls, so Mike and I want to make sure ours are well behaved.  Bella is the next student (probably after the holidays).
7.  Mike suggested eating HERE on Saturday~So YUMMY!!
8.  We had some bark park fun on Sunday morning with Mike, Ashley, Josh, Jess, a girl from my work and her hubby, Jess' mom and step dad and all the doggies.  It was a lot of fun!!
9.  This is what happens after #8

Enjoy Today!!

All dressed up...

Redoing floors is a lot of work (mostly for my hubby). I am finally getting things put back where they belong, and that makes me so happy (pics will be coming soon). Since my computer is still not hooked up, I didn't get to do my photo dump yet. So I thought I would post a pic from Halloween. It's a big deal at my work. It was fun doing the Duck Dynasty theme with my department.

weekly iphone photo dump ~ October {week 4}




From left to right:
1.  There has been lots of news about dog treats from China making pups sick or even dying.  I only buy dog treats made in the USA.  I found these at Sam's Club this week that my dogs LOVE!!  
2.  Yup...I jumped on the Bitstrips band wagon!
3.  Bella is such a snugly puppy!!  If I am taking a nap, she always jumps up to snuggle with me.  I know I have said it before, but pit bulls really do get a bad rap.  October is Pit bull Awareness Month~this article is really good.
4.  Our downstairs is turned upside down, literally!!  We are going to be staining the concrete floor in our living/dining/craft room.  Pete is enjoying the big mess of furniture in the family room.
5.  Mike and I went to Pei Wei for our weekend lunch date.  I had a buy one get one free entree coupon~HOORAY!
6.  I have not had one of these in a while, so after #5, we treated ourselves to a cone~YUM!
7.  My mom sent me another box of Woodstock apples.  There is NO comparison to the ones I get in the store!!  Thanks MOM!!
8.  Kodi came over this weekend for a haircut!!  He is such a sweet dog!!  Sophie and Bella had fun playing with him.
9.  Mike sanded our floors on Sunday...can you say GIANT MESS!!  I thought #4 was stressful.  I don't think I will ever get all the dust cleaned up.  I am trying to keep the finished product in my mind, LOL!!


Enjoy Today!!!

weekly iphone photo dump ~ October {week 3}


From left to right:
1.  Mike sent me this picture of Bella sunning herself up in the loft.  This is usually where Pete sleeps.  She thought it looked comfy I guess.
2.  I have been drinking less coffee at work, but I still have my favorite mug on my desk.
3.  It is fall, and Pumpkin is everywhere...my house smells like a candle store (so yummy).
4.  Enjoying some time with my favorite lap dogs.
5.  I was feeling very domesticated, and made cinnamon rolls (with extra frosting) from scratch.  They were so good, which reminded me why I don't bake (I eat them!).  I packaged them up and dropped some off to Ashley & Nate and Josh & Jess.
6.  Mike and I went to a wedding on Saturday, so of course we snapped a picture of us all dressed up.  I could not wait to get my shoes off and put my sweat pant shorts back on (I am a casual gal)!!
7.  Saturday night was spent watching the Red Sox play against the Tigers.  Sophie was pretty excited about the grand slam!!  World Series Baby!!  Woo Hoo!!  
8.  Sunday we went to Josh and Jess' house (see #5) and saw this Halloween display~so CUTE!!
9.  After a full week...this is what is for dinner on Sunday night (I really wanted #5).

Enjoy Today!!

4.  More home repairs, we are getting ready to repair the concrete floor on the first floor and then stain it.  
5.  A trip to Sam's Club for some groceries and a quick snack!
6.  Bella had a follow up appointment for another skin scrap, to make sure she tested negative for mites~which she did, HOORAY!
7.  I don't usually make big breakfasts, but surprised my hubby and made pancakes on Sunday morning.  THIS is the recipe I use and it is so yummy!
8.  You know I love Peeps, my mom always sends me some for every holiday.
9.  Got new glasses about a week ago, I need to have them adjusted, they keep sliding off my face.

Enjoy Today!
