I'll tell you the truth about my dog

My so scary 9 lb dog likes to bark at people especially the nieghbors down the street because they throw things at her. She doesn't get out often and when she does one of us is chasing her down the street to get her. Paige was chasing her the day that the neighbor girl fell down. Skip wasn't even close to her and the girl took off running down the street. She was on her driveway, why not go inside? We put up an electric fence to keep Skip in our yard but someone stole her electric collar that goes to it when we were gone one day. I don't have $110.00 to replace it. We also try very hard to keep her in the house but she does get out when friends come or go. Honestly we DON'T just let her run! She doesn't even bite!! She does bark a lot to scare you though. So again SORRY neighbors and anyone afraid of my dog.

Fall Break,What?

Usually fall break is during UEA and I'm all for that. But this year teacher's missed UEA during the day because of State testing. So fall break was on the first day of the deer hunt. What's up with that? Run Bambi run. To keep the kids entertained, we made spudnuts (like donuts but fluffier). They didn't raise like they are supposed to. I don't know if I did something wrong or if my yeast is just getting old. Hmm I need moms recipe I think.

Oh well, they were still yummy. And they were gone the second day.

Some yucky stomach bug is going around. Braden had it last weekend and Zach got it yesterday. It doesn't last long which is nice.

Hope is 6 weeks old today. Is she sleeping any better? NO

Amanda this part is for you...Saturday night Hope was up at 3:30 and was up for the rest of the night. First she had bubbles in her stomach, we got those out, then she thought it was just time to be awake for a while. She was tired however and would dose off for about 15 minutes, enough time for me to almost get back to sleep and then she would wake up again and want to be held or talked to or just anything but sleep. We made it to church very tired. I took a nap when we got home. Oh babies. Hope is grabing things with those little hands more and more each day. She hangs on to anything that she can get her hands around...shirts, sleeves, her own clothes, burp clothes, hair and the latest her own ear. She hangs on and pulls and then cries and looks at you like you hurt her. One day she will figure it out. She rolled all of the way over the other day. She usually only makes it to her side. But this time she went all the way over and was stuck. She didn't like it and cried.
