Did you know??????

I know that I write about our dog a great deal but she is basically our amusement and the center of the house. Zoe is like a child and wants constant attention and gets very jealous when Brett and I show affection. She thinks she needs to separate us and then get the attention for herself. She's so comical and she is more like a child than just her personality! The last time I took her too the vet he gave me a "Puppy Pack" with information to read up on. It tells you that puppies loose their teeth between three and six months of age. I've had dogs growing up but they were always outside dogs and I got Darcey after she was a year old so Zoe has been a hoot!!!!
She's been loosing her baby teeth. At first it was a couple of front teeth...tiny ones. But this Saturday I found SIX!!! Six, count them...and they were not small. These were her back molars. And after this discovery we found it was difficult to each her puppy chow. She would roll the food around in her mouth until it got soft enough to chew. Poor thing.....so Brett decided we needed to purchase some softer food until her new adult teeth come in. I never knew that puppies lost all of their teeth and got new ones. It's funny to see teeth laying around the house. We are taking count. She's doubled in size since we got her on June 7th. We had to buy her a larger bed because she has outgrown her old bed. I don't think that it helps that she thinks she must put all her toys in their with her.

On some other notes......Brett started his new job today at the Mascot. He is learning all aspects of the business until January when he will be setting up the new inventory software system to keep track of all the products and quality control. He really liked today but was tired when he got home. They had him in the candy factory today to see how all the machines work and what the different crews do. He said that he didn't think he'd have a chocolate craving anytime soon since he smelled it all day!!!!

And a special congratulations to April!!! She's engaged and it's her birthday!!!!! She's been through so much but only to come through it all so much stronger. She dated Brian for a while but soon found out he was like a lot of guys who can't make up their mind....only to find her Mr. Right!!! She and Marshall got engaged this past Saturday! I know that she'll be happy and live a life full of love! Yeah April!!!! I knew when you caught the bouquet at our wedding it wouldn't be too much longer!! Love ya girl!

What a Weekend!

Let me just start by saying that I hope this coming week goes by more quickly than last week!!! Friday afternoon I got home and Brett and I got ready to run over to Statesboro for a little date night. We stopped by Deanna and Ed's to drop off the canvases and she absolutely loved them!! We stayed and visited for a while and then continued on to Statesboro. We ran in Lowe's and picked up some things and then on the movie theatre. Well....after standing in line for 10 minutes we get to the window and The Time Traveler's Wife is sold out! I was very disappointed!

On Saturday April and I headed over to Richmond Hill to The Pink Closet (thanks Jane for sharing). OMG! We were in heaven. This place is a high-end consignment shop, well it looked more like a boutique in down town Savannah. I got a couple of things for a very good deal. Most of what I tried on still had the original store tags. I came back home and cleaned out my closet. I am taking some things next week. You get 40% for what they sell. They had anything from Gap to Coach and Kate Spade.......SO many cute things!
Later in the afternoon we went to a Swipe Party for Hillari and Cole at Rawl's farm. Really cool idea. They received gift cards from just about everywhere! Everyone had a really great time. It was great to see everyone. We did not get home until 2:30 so I've felt that all day! I think everyone has felt the late night because everyone's status on Facebook is the same.
Brett and I went to Hinesville after lunch to see The Time Traveler's Wife. We succeeded this time!! It was a good movie....somewhat like the book.

Now we are sitting and relaxing going to bed soon!

Mondays not Fundays!!!

Well today was a long Monday. The first Monday back with kids. We had about 10 no-shows from last Thursday show up today and then a mad-rush to get classes funded before the board downloaded our class lists. Even though it was somewhat hectic today went by entirely too slowly!!! I don't think I got one item marked off my to do list on my desk. How many more days until our first vacation?
My day consisted of waking up very early with hardly little sleep at all. I am glad that Melissa is driving this week. I think I sat in a daze all the way to school. But the best part of my day was arriving to work and unpacking my laptop. I found a note that Brett had written me last night after I went to bed. It just about made me cry!!! He is the sweetest husband and so much more than I could ask for! He is the absolute best!!! I fall in love with him more and more everyday.
When I got home I ran a couple of errands and then finished up the last of some thank you notes. We are still getting gifts!!
As I wrote thank you's I watched....mainly listed to the Dave Matthews Band concert that Brett DVR'd. About mid-way through Zoe starting belting out a howl along to the music! It was quiet hilarious!!! What can I say....our dog has great taste in music!
On another note I cannot wait until this Friday, not only is it FRIDAY but the move The Time Travelers' Wife comes out and Brett has said he would take me.
I finished the canvases for Deanna yesterday. Here are a couple of pictures. These are going into the kids rooms at the coast house. Benjamin asked for a crazy crab and Genevieve wanted a mermaid.

Almost Over

I can tell that everyone is back to work with the kids!!! Not too many blogs posted because everyone is so extremely tired!!! Our first day back with the students was pretty good. Not as hectic in the office as usual. Only placed about 8 kids today instead of the usual 20! I guess we'll see what Monday holds.
The teachers rooms look great! So bright and colorful! The students seemed excited to be back at school. Our little Macy had to celebrate her birthday first day back. Happy Happy Birthday Macy Fennell!!!!
I got home today and was reminded what a fabulous husband I have. He'd washed clothes, cleaned the house, and mowed the grass. Zoe ran to greet me before I could get the car door open. She'd been in the yard with Brett all day. We cooked dinner tonight together. I am looking forward to the weekend. We have a couples cookout for Hillari and Cole but other than that nothing planned. Now to catch up on blogs, facebook, and emails.

A Rainbow...Look closely there are TWO!

Each afternoon the rain rolls in and covers the farm replenishing the soil. We had worked in the yards all day on Saturday and then the rains came once again. After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. A very large and colorful rainbow was over the sunflower field across from the house. When we really looked at it closely you could see another one faintly above it. Two rainbows at once.......something very rare!

Last night we had the Rogers' Family Reunion. It was a great dinner catered and everyone had a wonderful time catching up. Several of us came back to Rogers Rd for some games of pool and more catching up. The girls talked for hours while the guys played pool. We are planning a cookout at the house very soon.
