Special birthday for the Popster!

I know I have been MIA for a few days but it's been a rough ride for the last couple weeks.  I lost a very good friend a few days before Christmas which was tough to take.  With the crazy weather we've had (70+ degs christmas eve) the golf course was still open & trying to keep up with the holiday rush seriously kicked my butt this year!
Check out "Miss Fashiondo"
In the middle of all this, this guy had a special birthday.....no big party this year.  We were threatened constantly that he would disinherit all of us!  Not that that scared us!!!
Don't you love this expression!


Of course he got the usual gag gifts



Someone did his usual "photobomb" with my camera!
The restaurant we had reservations at called last minute & said they had lost power so we had to do a last minute scramble & find somewhere else.....not easy when you have 13 people!  We got lucky & were able to get into a fabulous italian restaurant in Ballston Spa

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...
