he caved!

Sammy let his guard down for a few minutes and allowed Ollie in his bed. I say a few minutes and I mean it - we're talking 3 or 4 minutes max....but it's a start!





in other Ollie news - we're still battling potty training, mostly at night - according to the vet he eats too much grass which has a laxative effect on him after midnight. joy for me who gets up to take him when he whines....every 90 minutes! It's been almost 2 weeks of this so I'll be calling for some type of medication because I tell you - I need sleep! :) But honestly - I don't think that's it so I want it to stop - even if for a day or two!

Ollie and Hailee are best friends - he adores her and she pampers him which is just fine. He really wants to be with her at night, but she doesn't wake up for ANYTHING so that's a no-go until the potty training is over.....not looking good as of now.

Darren loves the little mutt but has now threatened to give him away! It won't happen - but the little guy better get a hold of himself or he could end up sleeping in the garage!


other news - I was featured on the Scrappy Jo's BLOG today - the "member spotlight" - sort of fun - I'm not big on being the center of attention but I loved the honor - especially since I'm still sort of new there! but the girls there are SO nice and friendly and I'm just happy that Kimmie led me there!

Hailee starts school in one week! 2nd grade!!! ugh! Monday we go in and meet the teacher, find the class, and get every thing in order. Love that they're doing it 2 days prior to school starting because if there's anything the teacher needs that we don't have we have time to get! They've been doing it the night before and that means what they want is late or I have to make a special trip on my way home and that stinks. lol

We're going to be doing a rebuild on Darren's truck - it's cheaper than a new one - though that's what we'd rather have but aren't ready quite yet to take that on - so a new engine, paint job, and other little things will be getting taken care of and will probably be good as new! We see so many older trucks around here that I don't see why we can't have one, too! Part of living in the country right???

other than that not much - Braden and I will be doing "homeschool" when Hailee goes - he's ready so I plan on working with him every day on something - abc's to start! Should be fun and of course I'm looking forward to our alone time again ♥
