Chair re-do!

I love when find provides me with a good deal. I got this chair for $5 and am very happy with its transformation. Here are the before and after shots:

Milestone day!

Two major this happened today. Maizy lost her ability to have future children. She is handling it pretty well just cries a little when she forgets she can't jump off the couch or play with Tucker like she wants to. She has to wear a cone for 10 days! That's going to feel like for both of us I'm sure.
The second milestone of the day was when during the 3am wake up with the major storm we had last night I decided I was going to get my ears pierced for the first time in my life. I told my friend Mira of my plan and she was there to make sure I did it and followed through.

I might pay someone next time!

5 hours later (multiple breaks) and a trip to the pet store, Maizy got a haircut (a hack job at that one). She doesn't have any black let on the top of her head I'm hoping it evenly turns tan like her dads! Here are the before and after shots:

Always make doughnuts at someone else's house

I called up Kay on Wednesday and asked it I could come over and make some doughnuts that I saw on pinterest at her house. Mostly because I didn't want to have them all at my house to eat and really wanted to try making them. The we're so easy! Just got some pillsbury biscuit dough cut out the center and deep fried them. Kay did a great job at mixing up the icing. Success!!

Surprise Jenn (because I think you secretly read this)

Just finished skyping with my nephew Benson. We had a very important conversation about the game he is playing, his wake up dry chart, and the snowman in his backyard. He asked me very important questions like: why do you live in Edmonton, is your tv on, and do you have any little boys.
All I have to say is it's about time you got Skype so we could have important conversations like this because I like the a lot!!

They grow up too fast

Took Maizy to the vet this morning. She weighs 5.8lbs and is doing great according to the vet. Funny thing was when he asked how house training was going I said really well just as Maizy let out a little on the table, way to prove me wrong girl. She took her shots like a pro.
