Gus leads a rough life, doesn't he? I took him to the vet this morning to get his final vaccination. He weighs 33 pounds, which is double what he weighed 2 months ago when we got him. He puked in my van on the drive home. Lovely.
I was cooking dinner when Kat came up the stairs and said,"Mommy, Elliott took his diaper off!". I grabbed my camera and this is what I found. How funny.
When I went to pick up the diaper, I saw poop! Not funny. I cleaned up the poop that had fallen out of the diaper. Really not funny.
Poor Gus. During the whole diaper mess, I forgot that I had let him outside. He was outside in the rain/mud for at least 10 minutes. I took him straight to the bathtub. Then I also got to clean out the tub as a fun (not) bonus.
After the pooping incident, dog's bath, and cleaning out the tub, it was time to finish cooking dinner...
I would like to say I had a nice peaceful time while I was trying to prepare dinner. Instead, Elliott was right under foot crying/begging for food, which is what Elliott usually does when I am cooking. Talk about a true "witching hour."
Just so you don't get the wrong impression of our life, I wanted to keep it real for you!

So many things to say about this picture: bed head, life vest, Twizzlers, missing his pants, and that silly smirk. It makes me laugh.
Julia did great all day yesterday. Then at bedtime, she had a fever - again! This makes 5 days of school that she will miss. Hopefully she'll be able to go back tomorrow. It's a good thing that 1 - she's smart, and 2 - she's only in Kindergarten!
Clay helped me make cinnamon rolls last night. Yum!
Kat is "Child of the Day" at school today. They are learning the letter "R", so we made rainbow finger jello. Isn't it cool!?! I got the recipe from here.
Window Peeper
Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!
We went to school yesterday and picked up Julia's makeup work and homework. Kat wanted to do "homework" too.
Elliott clapping for himself after putting a block in the shape sorter.
Clay and Julia started working on her car for the AWANA Grand Prix (similar to the Pinewood Derby)
Elliott does not watch any TV, except for this DVD we have called "Animal Songs". It's a bunch of songs from the 70s/80s. He loves it! It's one of the few times he will sit still.
Julia woke up this morning and didn't have a fever!!! But this afternoon it was back up to 100.5. I guess this means no school tomorrow.
Elliott was in his room playing quietly alone. Clay and I had an idea of what he was doing (but didn't want to find out). When Elliott was done emptying out the wipes container, he realized he was stuck on top of the changing table, so he started whining for someone to come get him. I took my camera and this is what I found. Stinker!
