Sunday in Snaps: Raining Cats and Dogs

This morning, the girlies and I welcomed the rain from the comfort of my bed.  We cuddled beneath the covers watching Barbie hang ten and save the mermaids from evil Eris.  My sheets are littered with Pop-tart crumbs, but my heart was as warm as the coffee on my bedside table.

Meanwhile, out back….

Daisy rested against the glass door between mad dashes after silly squirrels.  Bo lingered beneath the trees, patrolled the perimeter, and made laps through the wet grass.  He was so filthy by the time I was finally able to lure him back inside, I banished him straight to the shower for a complete overhaul. 

For the remainder of the day, my four-legged babies pouted and paced, scratched and begged to, once again, be granted their freedom out in the elements.

 

Mean Mommy that I am, their romp in the rain was over for the day. 

They made the best of it, though.  Bo in his red club chair…

and Daisy on a soft, faded quilt…

my little ones finally figured out the second best way to spend a rainy Sunday. 

I sure do love rainy “stay-at-home days”. 

P.S.  My Big Boy sure does smell purrty tonight.

Sunday in Snaps: Toy Story

After a big day down in Riverside yesterday, we were beat today and hung close to home.  Consequently, my house and yard is a trail of destruction.

 

Oh. There’s one more.

Hope you all have had fun makin’ messes this weekend, too.

 

  

 

Sunday in Snaps

I woke up this morning feeling the pressure of a typical Sunday – too much to do, too little time.  We made the best of it, and all in all, it was a pretty darn productive day.

BigGirl woke up early on the office floor.  The girlies had decided to “camp out” on palettes.  BigGirl was the only one to make it through the night. 

I cooked breakfast…

and baked banana bread.

BabyGirl brushed the doggies for me,

and we headed out to run a few errands.

We shared a quick laugh and I stole a hug from some guys in uniform we happened to run into

as we were headed into the bookstore.

 

 

We grabbed a quick Italian lunch before picking up the last of our weekly necessities at the store and heading home.

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, after a successful, yet degrading, Wii Fit session and a walk around the short loop while the girlies rode their bikes,

we enjoyed a lovely meal of homemade chicken and dumplings and fresh salad.

And that was when we noticed BigGirl was sportin’ a fever….Who knew?….

Sunday in Snaps

It’s been a lazy Sunday around here. 

We’ve been “Scramble”-ing with family,

chasing balloons

picnicking in the den,

tending to babies and bears,

and snackin’ from sacks in our jammies.

Take a deep breath.  Enjoy your babies.  Have a wonderful weekend.
