Molly & her new friend Miss Piggy!

 I went to W*lmart yesterday & while I was in the dog food aisle picking out treats I heard a strange "snorting" noise.  I looked up & there was a 2-3 year old girl with her Mom & she had this pig in her hand.  I knew immediately I had to have it for Molly.....she just loves all squeaky toys!  As I stood there wondering how I could accomplish my mission without a scene several thoughts went through my mind.  Like "Enough browsing lady let's just move along!"  or "I am not above wrassling your kid for that toy!"  I decided to try a wait & see strategy & continued shopping.  I couldn't believe I had to go back 4 times before she finally left that aisle! Thank goodness the toy was still there so I was able to snag it.
 "Hello there.  Who might you be?"
 "How about if I bite your head!"
It is truly the most obnoxious noise you ever want to hear but Molly just love, loves, loves it & will not stop biting on it so it snorts!

Popster put down his Kindle with a big sigh last night....he couldn't concentrate on reading with the noise she was making!

I had it plopped in my lap at 6:00am this morning....I guess it was worth it!

    I would have paid to see you wrestle the kid.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
