why, it's almost christmas!!!

66 days 'til Christmas Eve! This year, the Christmas season should be easy-peasy compared to last year, when we had a wedding for Margaret and Adrian a few weeks before Christmas. This year, we will have a new baby around, Ben and Ashley are expecting any day now. This year, Sunny is house-trained...as far as potty goes anyway.

Today, we have two year old Lydia here for the day, my second granddaughter, Mali's little girl. Anne is coming in half an hour. I have been up for two hours, because SOMEONE had to clean up the mess from the bad doggies...they got into the garbage...again. So sweeping and mopping and cleaning up...I had put pepper on the rim of the can, but they just sneezed right through it and got to the snacks in there.

I didn't get out for my walk, because by the time I got finished cleaning up, it was almost time for Miss Lyd to arrive.

We are planning a playground/park outing today. We are having the most fantastic streak of nice weather here in the northeast...I enjoy clicking on the weather forecast and seeing all those full suns lined up in a row, no rain expected until next Monday! Warm sunny days!

Lydia likes to get lots of toys. She has pretend food and dishes out all over, now she wants to play dollhouse. She's as happy as can be...she's also having some raisin toast, made by Camille. Joseph is putting on a pot of coffee, and Jonathan just brought Sunny in from tiring her out. Sunny has so much energy in the morning, she prowls around looking for things to chew on, but when Jon takes her out and shoots the airsoft gun, she goes crazy chasing the pellets. She sees that gun and goes nuts. It tires her completely out to run around like that. And a tired dog is mostly a good dog.


Mr. Jonathan with Sunny and one of the kittens...raising kittens with Labradors is way too precious. The dogs are so gentle with the kitties. Sunny absolutely loves them. She puts her nose down and lets them bat at her and tries to play with them, follows them around so curiously, but she's a gentle giant with them. Suri tries to ignore them, but will only lick them or sigh and lay her head down, and let them climb all over her. The kittens are not afraid of the dogs at all, either.

Anyway...things to do, kids to take care of....:)
