Ruff Life

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and is enjoying their extra day off.  Our weekend was fun mostly spent it getting used to our new dog Jake.  He's the cutest dog ever.  I love that he's all black and has a little patch of white on his chest.  I love that he's so tiny and that he's only 2 months old...but because he's only 2 months old it's like having another baby!  We've never had a dog before so - much like when people tell you "kids are a lot of work" and you listen and probably say "yes I know", but don't fully understand until you have your own, it's the same with dogs!  Potty training him has been challenging.  I think I'm driving him nuts following him around making sure there are very few accidents in the house.  So far, I think we've been pretty successful he seems to be getting the hang of it -- which I'm pretty excited about.  I'm trying to teach E a little responsibility with the little guy too, I tell her she has to pick her toys up from the ground so that Jake doesn't chew them, so far it's been working :)


The kids are over the moon with Jake, and I don't think E has stopped laughing and giggling since we brought him home.  I love seeing them so excited with their new friend and I can see already why they say "dogs are a man's best friend".  


Isn't he the cutest?!  We are excited about the fun, crazy times with this guy!

Five on Friday




Happy Friday!

I'm excited for the weekend!  We have a couple of fun things planned that I'm looking forward to.

Today I'm linking up for Five on Friday... my fave!

one: I've been looking for something to organize my make up and I came across this baby and I love it!  I love how organized and in plain view everything is - I need this on my counter!  I need to find out where I can buy it!

two- How beautiful is this bracelet?  It would look pretty stacked or alone.  It's so dainty and elegant, I love it.


three - The newest member of our family, our dog Jake!!  We just got him yesterday and the kids are IN LOVE!  We've never had a dog before and they are having a blast.  He's a Morkie (Maltese and Yorkie) he's all black with a little white patch on his chest.  He's from the same litter as my friend's dog so it will be cute to have the brother and sister in the "family".  Anyone have any potty training tips?


four-  My crazy son!!  I love him to death, but boy is he leaving my nerves shot these days!  He's climbing on EVERYTHING, he's fearless... the picture below was last night.  I was looking at Jake and Elyse play for one second, turn around and see him in the water table!  Oy!  How did he get up there so fast?! Boys will be boys I guess.


five -  We are organizing our pantry and this gives me some inspiration on using baskets to organize that oh so scary closet of ours.  I doubt ours will look this pretty, but one can dream right? ;)


I hope you all have a great long weekend!!
