What's Knew Or New?

The Kids have been in their Fourth and Last VBS this week...they either aren't excited about this one or they are wore out...

 Either way they are not complaining but, not overly enthused either.

 I do believe they are learning and having fun though for they are coming home exhausted and watching some of "Shark Week" on discovery.

 I do believe we are happy it's the last VBS....and with the new schedule we are on and now with a puppy too.

I thought it was especially sweet this week when Phoebe curled up on my side of the bed with Louie and he stayed.

 On Tuesday Evening our Friend Linda from our Animal Protective League called me and asked me if I could possibly foster a puppy for about 3 weeks or so.

I of course couldn't say No, I am such a Mrs. Dolittle when it comes to animals as well as kids so of course I agreed.

Here is the darling sweety with Steven.  Here name coming into the APL was "Queen" but, the APL thought that didn't fit her and was kind of dumb so they asked us to please rename her while she was in our care.

Well, it was kind of funny today Wednesday (the day to pick up the puppy) because our worms arrived today (I did not photograph them due to their stress and lack of oxygen from the post office) the mail man was rude to my husband saying I have another stinky package for you. (It was not stinking at all) He put the box in a plastic bag again (for 30 minutes they had been in there) My husband was like that's what killed them the first time. He was like what are you using them for anyway...UH none of your business.

I told my hubby

"You should have told him you were going to eat them." LOL

Anyway, when my sons Steven, Jeremiah and Myself arrived home Wednesday afternoon with the puppy my husband fell in love with her he wants to keep her, I am like uh how? Uh No! We can't afford to adopt a puppy.

She looks alot like our german shepherd we had to put down a little over a year ago now and he really loved that dog.

So hopefully somehow perhaps the yard sale I will be able to afford her-NOT!

If I only had a money tree to pay for the kids workbooks, our kitten churchie shots, hubby's mouth surgery, to fill in the gap when hubby has to take furlow days and....

money to adopt this puppy.

Uh yeah right! LOL

 After spending all day with this puppy, doing some training, walking on the leash, bathing, and playing....hubby and I came to a name...

Meet "Hailey"

She is a mix: lab and schnowzer --I see all lab. 

 Phoebe's Birthday is Friday so this puppy couldn't come at a better time and hubby was home today so he was helping with the puppy and spent time with the family and took this great photo with Phoebe.

 Of course if we can't keep the puppy it's going to be hard on probably everyone but, if it's meant to be it will be right!?! Right!?!

 Hubby also spent time finishing Phoebe's room stripping wallpaper, patching holes from previous owners they covered with wallpaper...and began the painting...hubby found a deal a week or so ago on the paint 2 gallons pink and purple for 8.00 for both so this is her Birthday present her room being turned into a adorable girly room...although we will have to get her a twin bed perhaps craigs list.

(right now she still has a toddler bed).

The kids have two more evenings of VBS (Friday Night) Before VBS we will do a cookout with Phoebe for her Birthday my mom is supposed to visit then after VBS her room will be done for her--A surprise when she gets home plus cake and ice cream.

Saturday we have a Fishing Tournament and A Pig Roast Picninc So I will post again soon.
