Okay - so we're certifiably crazy

Before I left for church with the kids yesterday, Asia suggested I stop on the way home at the pet store to buy a sweater for Gracie. See, it's pretty darn cold here in the evenings, and if Gracie is going to go trick-or-treating with us, she needs something to keep her warm. Boxers are very short-haired. In fact, her little belly is almost bald, there's so little hair there. If she's outside too long in the cold she gets all shivery... so a sweater seemed like a good idea. We don't want our little girl getting too cold, after all.

Now in the past, I would have laughed out loud at anyone who was buying "clothes" for their dog. Obviously, anyone who would dress their dog has serious issues. Now I say, yes, of course, we have issues. We have issues with our baby who gets chilled in no time at all in the cold weather.

So here you go. I took pictures, just so you could see how pretty she looks. And she knows it too. The kids took her for a walk yesterday in her new duds, and she was absolutely prancing. She knew she looked pretty.

Pretty scary, eh?

(But she's SO cute...)

    She is SO cute. Darling in that sweater. I have a friend that buys sweaters for all her poodles -she has 3! So I understand.

    Well, I'm still going to make fun of you, but she is cute!! Thanks for the fun party last night. Danny said, "Well, that didn't seem to evil." :-) He was kidding, of course.

    Lara - I'm so glad someone else admitted to liking the sweater enough to want one for herself. It really is the cutest thing ever - but I'm a sucker for anything pink and brown.

    Kelly - I was most worried about the mocking laughter coming from you - but I knew you would still be my friend, so I went ahead and posted the pictures...

    Kelly E. - oh come on now - I don't believe you for a minute... I know you love your noisy Buddy just as much - it just hasn't manifested itself in a pink and brown chenille sweater... and thank goodness, because he would look awfully silly wearing it, dontcha think?

    Min - It was great to hang with you last night. And Danny seemed amazingly tolerant of Gracie's presence... and the inherent evil of trick-or-treating... Amazing how chocolate covers a multitude of sins, eh?

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
