DECEMBER 1st

I BOUGHT BELLA A CRATE OR CAGE AS IT LOOKS FOR WHEN WE GO OUT OR LEAVE THE HOUSE. SHE IS NAUGHTY, SHE CHEWS EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS CHEW TOYS AND HAS BEEN DESTROYING THINGS WHILE WE ARE OUT, SO I HAD TO DO IT.EVEN THOUGH BELLA HAS ZERO INTEREST IN THE TREE OR OTHER DECORATIONS I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE, I HAD TO GET IT. JUST LIKE WITH THE KIDS BEING MY PROBLEM WITH THE TREE THEY LOVE THE CAGE TOO !!! ALITTLE TOO MUCH...

IF SOMEONE DIDNT KNOW ME OR MY KIDS, THEY WOULD PROBABLY CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ON ME...UNTIL THEY MET THE KIDS THAT IS.

TAKING TURNS

NOW EVERYONE

THE SAD PART IS THEY CAN GET OUT.....LOL

DUSTING

WE COULDNT LEAVE NOVEMBER WITHOUT A LITTLE SNOW NOW COULD WE.

THIS IS BELLAS FIRST SNOW EXPERIENCE.

I DONT THINK SHE ENJOYED THE COLD ON HER PAWS.

THE BACK YARD...LOL

JUST ALITTLE DUST

THE SNOW MELTED BY THE AFTERNOON....AND WE HAVENT HAD ANY SINCE !!!

SOME CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

HERE IS THE TREE ALL DECORATED. I DIDNT DECORATE THE LOWER PARTS OF THE TREE FEARING BELLA WOULD TRY TO EAT THE DECORATIONS.

I MEAN WHO CAN RESIST THE IN N OUT BURGER

I MISS THE IN N OUT BURGER, THATS WHY I PAYED MY TRIBUTE TO IT.

BELLA HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TREE AT ALL, ITS THE KIDS.

SHE JUST LAYS NEXT TO THE FIREPLACE. NEXT HOUSE BELLA WE WILL TRY TO GET YOU A NICE COZY REAL FIREPLACE.

I CANT WAIT TO GET ALL THE PRESENTS UNDERNEATH IT.

CHRISTMAS PARADE 2009

WATERTOWN HAD THEIR CHRISTMAS PARADE AND WE WERE READY FOR IT.

AFTER THE VISIT TO THE FIRE DEPT. WE WENT TO GET SEATS ON THE PARADE ROUTE AND GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

I TOLD THEM THERE WOULD BE CANDY IF THEY SAT STILL

THE PARADE IS LIKE THE HIGHLAND PARK PARADE, WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS AND THE FIRE DEPT.

MARCEL WAS THOROUGHLY BORED & SCARED AT TIMES.

THE GRINCH WAS THERE


LITTLE CAESAR WAS THERE

WE HAD SNOWMEN BUT NO SNOW...THANK GOD

THE KIDS LOVED THE LIMOS

THE FIRE FIGHTER IN UNIFORM IS REALLY MY NEIGHBOR, THEY WERE ESCORTING THE COUNTRY STATION FROGGY 97....THERE IS THE FROG TOO

GREAT FINGER PLACEMENT MARCEL...MY NEIGHBOR WAS COMING OVER TO HAND US CANDY.

AND HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS........

AND ME ..... HAPPY THAT THE DAY WAS ALMOST OVER.

TRIP TO THE FIRE DEPT

OUR NEIGHBOR IS PART OF THE CALCIUM FIRE DEPTMENT. SHE IS THE EMT, SO SHE IS A GREAT ASSET TO HAVE LIVING NEXT DOOR. SHE INVITED US TO COME DOWN AND SEE THE TRUCKS BEFORE THE WATERTOWN CHRISTMAS PARADE. HER KIDS ARE TERRIFIED OF THE TRUCKS SO THEY WEREN'T THERE.

HERE ARE THE BOYS "DRIVING THE BIG RIG"

MARCEL WAS TERRIFIED, THE LIGHTS AND SIREN WERE TOO MUCH FOR HIM.

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED SINCE HE FLIPS OUT AT THE DRIVE THRU CAR WASH...LOL

THE BOYS TRYING ON GEAR

IN THE TRUCKS

AINT HE CUTE !!!

THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING....

TWAS THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING AND I WAS PREPARED TO BRING OUT CHRISTMAS...OH HOW I REGRET THAT ONE NOW.....

FIRST, I HAD TO PUT THE FALL DECORATIONS AWAY AND GET THE CHRISMAS STUFF OUT OF THE GARAGE, THEN I HAD TO REARRANGE THE LIVING ROOM.

AFTER I SET UP THE TREE I PUT TOGETHER THE GHETTO FIREPLACE AGAIN....NO SOONER DID I HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE WAS THE DOG LAYING IN FRONT OF THE DAMN FAKE FIRE....TOO CUTE...HAD TO GET SHOTS OF IT

SHE CAUGHT ME & WOKE UP

WE DECORATED THE TREE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THE REST ON SATURDAY.

THANKSGIVING DAY NOVEMBER 26, 2009

POOR BELLA

OKAY, SO GOD KNOWS I DIDNT BUY A HUGE TURKEY, THEREFORE I DIDNT HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY TO COOK IT, BUT WHEN I DID WAKE UP THIS WHAT I FOUND IN THE HALLWAY....

I WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO GET MY CAMERA AND EVEN THOUGH BELLA WAS AWAKE, SHE LAYED THERE WITH MARCEL ALL SNUGGLED UP ON HER.

I DID RESCUE HER AND LET HER OUT AFTER I GOT THIS SHOT THOUGH.

WE HAD FRIENDS OVER FOR THANKSGIVING, ANOTHER FAMILY WITH A DEPLOYED DADDY.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO EAT AROUND 3 O'CLOCK, SO NATURALLY I FED THE KIDS A LATE BREAKFAST AROUND 11 TO STAVE OFF THE HUNGER.

THE TURKEY WAS DONE, GRAVY WAS DONE...EVERYTHING WAS DONE & IT WAS ALMOST 4 AND OUR GUESTS STILL HADN'T SHOWN UP.

I WENT UPSTAIRS TO GET MY CELL PHONE & THE CAMERA

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.......

I WAS STARVING MY POOR BABIES......

I CALLED MY FRIEND AND TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO HURRY....

THEY GOT TO OUR HOUSE @ 5:22PM

I HAD TO FEED MY BABIES DRY CHEERIOS & MINI MARSHMELLOWS TO BRIDGE THE GAP UNTIL DINNER :(

THIS IS ME AT THE END OF THE NIGHT....KITCHEN CLEAN & VERY TIRED.
