BAD DOG & Update


We have one BAD little puppy living in our house!!!!  I am not sure where in the world he came from??  Or, what took over his little doggie body???  He has manifested into a little devil doggie.  To date, Tucker has chewed up my cell phone charger, my camera cord connector, and I noticed he has already started chewing on my laptop power cord.  Luckily, he did not chew through the entire thing and it still works.  I would probably kill him if he had succeeded in doing that.  I would also like to add dirty diapers, wipes, toilet paper(his favorite), empty drink bottles, and any kind of paper product he can come across, to the list.  His favorite thing to do now, besides chewing up paper, is to get a shoe and flip it around in circles.  Its pretty funny but VERY annoying after a while.  He will do this for like an hour straight (literally) if you do not stop him or take the shoe away.  He also has 4 girlfriends (his bed, and 3 stuffed animals).  It is definitely time to take his manhood away from him.  Hopefully, within the next week or two, I will be able to get him fixed.  I am praying this will calm him down but I have a feeling it will not effect him in any way. 
Paker invitied Emma to spend the night on Friday.  We took them on their "dinner date" to PF Changs.  They experienced chop sticks for the first time and did pretty well using them.  Then we took them to get Yogurt and to rent a movie.  We rented Jack and the Beinstalk.  Then I made them a huge bed on the floor and they slept there.  They had a great time.  On Saturday, Emma stayed over until about 2 and then Parker's new buds(Charlie and Major) came down.  They spent the night on Saturday night.  Will took them swimming and then I took them to see the new, Despicable Me, movie.  I thought the movie was ok.  Charlie fell asleep but Parker and Major sure enjoyed it.  They had such a great time at the sleepover.  Needless to say, I was EXHAUSTED by Sunday, and still am.  We are so glad that they moved into our neighborhood because now Parker has someone to play with.  They are about the only kids in our neighborhood who are his age. 
Today we are getting our back door fixed, FINALLY!!!!  It has taken forever and then we should be able to finish up with the floors.  I hope and pray that after all of this work that our house will start to feel more like a home, rather than a college apartment.  We also took down the popcorn ceilings in the living room and dining room while Parker was in Michigan.  They look SO much better now.  I hate that stuff.  I believe the technical term is "acoustical ceilings"...I do not understand why ANYONE would want those in their house.  It dates the house and makes the rooms look so much smaller.  Everything is slowly coming along.  We knew it would take some time but sometimes I just wish we had bought a house that was already move-in-ready. 
Well, I think that is about all for now.  Hopefully I will have a camera cord by the end of the week and I will be able to upload some new pictures.
