Over the weekend

We had a great weekend. Woke up Saturday morning to SNOW!!! Our first for the season and ended up with a couple inches when all was said and done. Beautiful snow that stuck to everything around! I've got pics, but, I can't find the spare second to get them loaded and posted! The kids were in the Christmas parade, so that made it all more fun, but they did about freeze in the back of the truck. We came in that evening and I made a big pot of chili and homemade cornbread.......it was SO good and hit the spot! Oh and thankfully Laura doesn't have pink eye, just some sort of a reaction, probably something she got into or got in her eye and on her face, and had a reaction to it. She ended up with an itchy rash down her cheek. It was weird, but leave it to her to get into something like that! LOL  

Sunday I helped with my sister's baby shower. This will be her 3rd and she's finally getting a baby girl. Seems we're overtaken with testosterone in this family! LOL  When we were growing up, it was all girls. Now, all us girls are having all boys......crazy! She's due in 5 weeks, if she can make it that long.......I'm excited!!!

The dogs are doing good. We were greeted this evening late when coming home from town, by Bella. Yep, she had dug out, yet again, and was running around. Think she had like a ton of pretty fresh manure on one side of her!! WHY do these dogs like that stuff so much???? I felt sorry for her because she didn't understand why nobody wanted to pet her. The kids were running from her like she was some kind of a monster, she did stink pretty bad I'll have to say! LOL  So I had to head out in the dark and find the hole she dug and get that thing filled in and blocked up. We're supposed to be getting some pretty heavy rains in tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll be filling in a few more holes before the week's over! :)  I think Ace has now figured out that Cookie is in heat as well. I've caught him several times eyeing Cookie from Mattie's pen! I'm hoping he STAYS in Mattie's pen and doesn't get out. I think Mattie is in the last part of her heat as Ace isn't quite as interested as before. But they're still lovey dovey, so cute, they'll sit there and lean against one another, and just lick each others' ears........you can just see the love and respect in their eyes for one another, so sweet. Funny yesterday as they both tried to get out of the doghouse at the same time.......took them about 3 times to figure out that ONE was going to have to wait and go behind the other! LOL  Jasmine, well, I'm thinking Chris is right in his diagnosis that she's just gotten fat. She's not changed much lately and really showing no signs of anything nearing. She'll be 9 next week, so she's getting up there in age. 

Ok, it is insanely late and my brain is no longer functioning. Hope everyone is starting off to a great week! Goodnight ya'll!
