What A Laugh

Does anyone remember when I carried around my planner and kept comic clippings in it to pull out and read when I was bored? I'm still not sure if I was a nerd or brilliant.

Anyway, I came across them the other day and thought I'd share some of the ones that pertain more to my current phase of life:
Motherhood.





And I think each of us have been in this situation at one time or another (either as the parent or the kid):



Of course, I can't upload comics without posting something from Calvin and Hobbes, the greatest comic strip ever. This one is one of my favorites:

I thought I'd just share these. Hopefully they made you laugh. If nothing else, they gave you something new to read.

Our newest addition


Meet Pixie!!! She's our newest addition. We just got her yesterday after church. A family from church had puppies. Actually it was one of my young women. (I am now recently in Cub scouts.)She is a malti-poo. Maltese and poodle. I've been wanting a dog for a while now. And was having a hard time finding a little one that Ty was not allergic to. He seems to be just fine with her. YAY!!
We are also trying to kennel train her. I'm definitely no pro at that. So I hope we're doing it right. She does have some tear stains, but we are giving her food that does not have red dye in it to see if it helps clear it up. I just gotta get rid of the hair that's already stained.

She's just so cute and loveable. Her favorite toy right now is a pink and white tug of war. I think it's her favorite cause it's the only one she can fit in her mouth. Her food and water are over by the kitchen sink. But she wouldn't go in the kitchen. The floor is too slippery. So I had to put my kitchen rugs as a runner so she can get there. Some minor adjustments for a cute little friend.


The boys love her. Teagan wants to carry her around everywhere. I have to constantly ask him to put her down. These last few weeks, if you asked him anything, he would answer that he's getting a "drill" puppy. That's girl puppy in Teagan talk. He was so excited!



Trenton wrote her a note. It says " Dear Pixie you are one funny puppy." "Dear Pixie you are cute." "Dear Pixie you are one loveubl puppy." Dear Pixie I love you." Then you flip the paper over and he drew a picture of him and Pixie. It has hearts and swirls all over it. That's why there's so many "Dear Pixie"s.
