Help!! The Laundry Monster is after Me!!!

This is how I feel about laundry!!
I'd rather scrub the tub!!
Wash the windows!!
Give the dogs a bath!!

This is a pile of clean clothes that need to be folded!!

It seems like I never get caught up!!

These are a few of my favorite laundry products!!

I better get off of the compter & go fold some clothes!!

Rain Rain Go Away!!

I sure hope that old saying is true about April showers bringing May flowers.
It has been cold & rainy all afternoon & evening.
It feels more like October than April!!
I'm ready for some much needed sunshine!!
The rain drops danced right out of this little frog dish!!
The sun will come out tommorrow in some parts of the world!!
Just not sure it will be in my neck of the woods!
The forcast calls for more rain!!

Shop 'til You Drop!!

If you haven't gotten away with any of your girl friends, you've gotta make the time for it!!

Cynthia found this cute little red wagon at Canton for just $12.50
We hit some neat shops in McKinny,TX.
Cynthia & I took a little break on this cute bench!! I loved this Hen sign!!
We asked these little old men that were waiting on thier wives to snap a picture of us. I'm the 'frumpy' one in the middle!!
The only thing we were a bit short on was time & money!!

Thanks friends for the fun weekend!!

Just a random post!!

Do you ever wonder what makes some people content with what life gives them??
I know people that don't need a bunch of extra fluff to be happy!!
I really admire that!!

These pictures have nothing to do with this post!! I just don't like posting without any photos!! So, this is what you get! A few more shots of our hall bathroom redo!!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a puppy with a wiggle butt to stop peeing when he gets excited??

Sir Freckels will be 5 months old on March 30th. He is doing better with the potty training except when someone comes to the front door.

This is what happens....The doorbell rings, all 3 dogs start barking & run to the front door to see who has come over to play! Freckels gets so excited that he starts wiggling like crazy! Looking at him you might think that his butt is going to wiggle right off.

That is when it happens.... the pee wiggles right out of him every single time!!

Out comes the disinfectant spray & mop for the ump~teenth time.

Cleaning up wiggle butt pee is getting really old!!

I'm open to any & all suggestions!!

Road Trip!!

Freckels & his people family went to Arkansas to see his cousins!!
Rudy, Freckles, & Otis chased each other & played until they collapsed on the couch!!
What a life!! Eat, Drink & be Lazy!!
Don't worry! The dishwasher sterilizes the dishes.
Freckels learned a new trick!
Just kidding!!
He got scolded after I took this picture!!
John helped his brother Steve build a pond. I think that it really turned out great!! I enjoyed just spending time with my sister in-law Lisa & neices!!
I'd say that our Spring Break was a success!!

SPRING BREAK!!

Yippy Skippy!!
The days are getting longer!!
The trees are starting to bud!!
Our pansies are are loving the beautiful Spring weather!!
Gotta love Spring Break!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

I love the color green!!
So, I look forward to St. Patrick's Day!!
Well, any excuse to celebrate works for me!!
When my boys were little I decorated for every holiday. Big or little, I was ready to spread some holiday cheer!! I just had to picked up some green stuff!! The only green the boys care anything about is the kind that is made out of paper, has a picture of a president, & has numbers on it!! I miss the days when they got excited about bubbles, silly putty, & sidewalk chalk!!
Give someone you love a little pinch & a big hug!!

Bathroom Update!!

This is a picture of our hall bathroom!


Those cute little blue flowers had to go!! The plaid shower curtain was a great idea 5 years ago!! Isn't it funny how our tastes change over time!
We found this textured paper that you put right on top of the old wallpaper.


Why do home improvment projects sound so simple until you get into the big middle of it!! Once you get started there is no turnig back!!


Here is the finished product!!

One project done & oh so many to go!!
