Dogs, Trees, and Oreos

This week has been a warm one. The weather has been hot and humid and lots of sun. The pool has opened up and the kids are begging to go swimming. We had plans for every day this past week, so we told them maybe on the weekend...wouldn't you know that it started raining this weekend.

I couldn't bring myself to eat these oreos. I'm sure they are good (the kids loved them) but an oreo is only supposed to be made one way, so I think I'll just wait for the original :) We have those, too. Just no double stuffed ones. :)



Poor Doggy Bones was in desperate need of a hair cut, do that was one of our goals this week. He looked so pitiful and couldn't even see his hair was so scraggly and long. Now, he... (it's really a girl but Benjamin insists on calling it a boy...and well, truthfully, we all get a little confused wether to call it a he, she, or it...so now you know. It's a girl, but I may refer to it as a boy)...the dog, has a new look and is so much cuter. It doesn't even look like we brought home the same dog. Benjamin wanted to know why I made his dog look like a poodle. The look has grown on him. Benjamin now approves.




We have run into several little ones recently that either haven't seen us before or have gotten brave enough to come play. This little one was fascinated with Lauren and the ball. Several of the kids have also just wanted to touch the girls hair to see what it feels like....and then we had one little actually follow us home...the mom/ayi had to come get her.

The only other thing that I can think of for this week is that all of our millions of little tadpoles are starting to turn into these little bitty frogs. The kids have been having fun catching them. Regan wants to bring them home as a pet, but I have imformed her that we already have a pet and the frogs belong outside! :)
