Wake Up Sunshine
Seriously, last summer this time
Washington did NOT look like this!
I took this photo one day last week …
but it might as well have been today *sigh*
Hello! it IS summer
is it not? =)
Today looks a bit gray …
Maybe Not quite that gray… but certainly not that blue either!~
I suppose I can be thankful for gray weather…
it will help me stay inside and clean …
I mean seriously…
how does he do that
ALL. THE. TIME!!
sneaky devil!
what? did I do something wrong?
how many rolls of toilet paper rolls will we loose before the kids
shut. the. bathroom. DOOR! =)
I am OK…. it is ok… really…
I wouldn’t vacuum nearly as much as I should
if I didn’t have Merlin!
So I guess it is a blessing that he makes my house messy
encourages me to clean my house more =)
and Bless His Heart ~ he tries really hard to keep us trendy
you see we are not fashion sense folks around here
Without Merlin
we would probably still be wearing clothes from the 80’s
I mean we would NEVER replace our “old” shoes if he didn’t nudge us a bit!
Yep ~ my 1 year old puppy is still stealing and chewing ~ almost daily
One day ~ this too shall pass ~ right?!
right????
please say yes!
*cough*cough*
So other than keeping up with that dog this weekend
You all know I burned my hand ~ after my garage sale fun
(as posted yesterday)
Thank you for all the comment love
about my pathetic story! =)
I only needed 2 painkillers ~ offering 12 plus hours of pain relief ~
after the night it felt fine ~yippie!
and the blisters are healing nicely ~
and I will not be frying bacon again anytime soon!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So ~ I started this post at 8 am today… it is now 11:17 PM …
it has been one of those days
just as I started my post … a child woke
and then another
and then my sister called while I was in the middle of STRESSING out
trying to plan a wee camping vacation around doggy sitter drama
after a few long phone calls
my sister comes to the rescue ~ Bless you KK!! =)
and just as I thought I could get back to my post
a neighbor with a wee disneyland ticket crisis called
something to do with her already in CA and the tickets being here =)
leading to an unexpected errand to UPS overnight delivery for said neighbor
then home for a quick snack before rushing off to soccer
where my hubby is the new coach ~ Go hubby! (and hubby’s assistant coach!)
where little girl SCORED a goal ~ helping her team win the game!
Way to play hard tonight little soccer superstar girl!!!
against the team where hubby’s supervisor was the other teams coach…
oops =)
I hope he still approves the vacation time we requested!! ha ha!
anyway …
I am rambling…
this is NOT my most exciting post…
don’t worry…
The Sun will come out “tomorrow” …
bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow…
There’ll be sun!!
*ahem*
Tomorrow I have something exciting to share in my post!
along with some more fun geocaching adventures…
For now I need to do some serious catching up on y’all!
and start booking those KOA campgrounds!

oh that naughty but adorable little pooch.. I soooo feel your pain!

I’m so sorry about your hand! I’ve got chewers in our house too. Just yesterday our 1 year old golden puppy chewed thru an internet cable. My son wanted to kill her, but I spliced the cable and it works again.
Our dogs have chewed house siding, cell phones, shoes, socks, hats, gloves, books, furniture… I can’t wait until this pup gets out of the kick.
Good luck to you!

At least he doesn’t chew on tampons! I’m talking used one’s! Gross! Mine only likes used tampons and socks!

Look at that dogs face! SO sweet and so guilty!

your trip sounds like fun. we never did camping growing up (we lived in florida) but i think that would be such fun for kids!
June 29th, 2010 saat: 10:21 am
oh, and yes, i hope merlin quits chewing…bad merlin but cute merlin
June 29th, 2010 saat: 12:22 pm
Have fun camping!!
Merlin is hilarious. I love the way you look at all of his shenanigans!! Everyone needs a little “merlin” to nudge them to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do! ha ha
June 29th, 2010 saat: 12:42 pm
Awww….what a cute puppy! I could never be mad at those eyes!
June 29th, 2010 saat: 1:58 pm
Love catching up on the blog~ I hope your hand heals fast!
June 29th, 2010 saat: 3:52 pm
You always have the greatest photos to share.
And, how can anyone be angry at that cute, adorable Merlin face for very long?
I can hardly believe a roll of toilet paper can make that big of a mess!!!! Yikes!!!
June 29th, 2010 saat: 6:28 pm
Our summer has been gray and gloomy too. I would love some weather above 70 degrees.
Glad your hand is better….ouch!
June 29th, 2010 saat: 8:33 pm
OH MY!!! LOL. …I am so glad that I have found your blog…I don’t know you, but I feel like I do. I am a homeschooling mom, a girl scout mom, a geocacher, a camper, and almost everything else on your list. I can’t wait to start reading all of your posts. We have so much in common. Thanks for sharing your life with us all.

It has been a weird summer everywhere. Sorry about the toilet paper and shoes and all the chewed up stuff. Your puppy is so cute. I love the look of “what did I do?” Too funny.

Your life is go-go-go!!!! I hope you get your camping trip all squared away soon. Those clouds are pretty wild together like that! I’m glad your hand is healing well!!!!

Incidentally, I just want to thank you for your Merlin updates. My daughters (12 and 14) practically howl whenever they read of his latest escapades!
