Addition to the Family

Well, isn't this fun. Helping mom scrub the floors was a hightlight for Peyton on Saturday. She likes to dust too!! Not sure where that came from, everyone know that I simply do not dust!

Scrubbing the floor with the towel.


This is how mommy does it!

Boring! I am putting my hands in that water instead of that rag!


Ooh! The floor is all wet and slippery. Wiping with my hands feels kind of neat!

Yee Haw, this is fun. I am just going to scrub the floor with my clothes, screw the rag!

Ok - It has been awhile since I actually took some time to write something useful in this blog. So here I am, at work, swamped, but I am going to take the time.

Last weekend Peyton helped me scrub the kitchen floors. I rung her clothes out when I was done, but doesn't she look proud!!

This morning I took Peyton in for the first of two flu shots and a finger prick for a lead level and hemoglobin test. The finger prick was not fun. Peyton was so confused about this red stuff coming out of her finger, she seemed scared. She would look at me with a look of what the heck is going on here! Hemoglobin tested fine, waiting on the lead test. If she has lead in her body it will all go to her feet, knowing this family, she will have a lead foot. Ha ha, okay, desperate attempt at a laugh.

So we got a new puppy last night. Peyton's cousin, Brittany, got the puppy a week ago and now she has no home for him to stay so we adopted him. He is a Rot with a mix of something unknown. Doesn't matter, he is cute and fun. Peyton loves him, till he jumps up to get that toy (Nuk) out of her mouth. She isn't too hot on that. He is around 6 weeks old.

Petie wasn't too sure what to think when he played the macho dog and then the puppy jumped back at him! Petie was afraid of him!!

Sniff, sniff - ooh, I gotta let this little guy know that I am bigger than him and I AM the boss around here.

Oh - he wants to play! Well, I am much bigger than he is, I know he will back off.

Crap! He bit my nose! Sometimes size doesn't matter!!

We call him "The Bandit"! Petie and the Bandit!

I hope this goes well, we wanted to get Peyton a puppy but we wanted her to be old enough to pick out her own and help take care of it.

You just never know what life will bring you! Now Brittany might visit us more often too, we all win in this one. Except Petie, poor guy may get beat up by a puppy! AND Peyton may lose a couple of shoes in this adventure.
