Rosco, Boca, and their kids...

[Adina P]

Just a little photo update...

We went to a wedding with a 'plaid' dress code :-)

Rosco has a hard life because sometimes his mom gives him a bath.
One day the kids made a 'bed' on the living room floor and Rosco immediately helped himself to it.  My daughter was NOT happy about it but once I suggested they take photos with Rosco, she perked up.

We had our first Thanksgiving together as 'just' a family of four without any other extended family or friends:
(Yup that is a salmon instead of a Turkey.  I promise it was not for the sake of 'health' as much as preference and simplicity).

Later a little girl turned FOUR....F O U R!!!!
And we had cake for breakfast
Because Moustachio had to leave town by 8am.


Then the snow came... and Boca was thrilled, but mostly because she's always thrilled especially if she's near the back door because there is a certain magnetic energy the back door has and the closer she is to it (in or out) the faster her tail spins and the higher she can jump.

Just because I think he's the CUTEST thing :-)A great little craft we worked on (I'll share the link to the instructions if anyone is interested)

We got our tree up....
I got a new dog groomer, who doesn't like to wear pants.
He also drinks on the job.  But he works for cheap, so....(See that tooth brush on the plasma car?  That's MINE.  NOTHING is sacred with kids).


After ALL the wig hair, giant yarn brades, yarn hair crowns, etc. that I've bought or made for her...she STILL prefers to hook leather dog leashes to her shirts for "Rapunzel hair" -- apparently they fall and flow and work better somehow.

Thanks to their kibble running out before their next bag was delivered and since it was Sunday (pet food store closed), Rosco and Boca got a rare treat.  Here they are wondering what has caused their mother to be so cruel as to put her family's dinner on the floor in front of them.  WHY would I tempt them so?  Little did they know these sweet morsels would soon be theirs!

The resultant gourmet meals included leftover oatmeal with craisins and some drizzled olive oil for extra calories (per my consult with a DK food expert you probably have never heard of...I think her name starts with a K--but please note I did not follow her advice exactly.  I just don't have enough MEAT in my house to feed dogs since we are semi-vegetarian).

 

The funniest thing is that I gave one bowl to my daughter to give to Rosco.  And I gave the other bowl to my son to feed to Boca.  My son almost immediately refused to give it to Boca and threw a fit because...HE WANTED TO EAT IT HIMSELF...lol. *sigh*  I had to pry his hands away and give it to Boca and then promise him we could eat that for lunch too.   So we had the same thing (minus the oatmeal/craisin addition), though I actually bothered to season our fish and the carrots have NEVER tasted so good.  Turned out to be a successful, delicious lunch for all my children!!

 

That's all folks!  Thanks for looking :-)

Oh my gosh, I laughed through these!  Is there anybody in your house who isn't just the cutest? What a great blog!  

[Carol and Banjo]

It's so much fun to watch your family growing up Adina!   The kids are simply adorable!   My life feels pretty boring after viewing your pics.   I can only imagine the constant flow of energy that goes on in your home.

This made me smile so much! Your family is beautiful and I love the picture of poor Rosco after the bath.

What a great blog! The kids are gorgeous, the doodles look great, and you made me laugh several times. What more could anyone want? Thanks for making my night!

LOL, so much fun! I don't blame your son for trying to eat Boca's dinner.
