Labor Day
We love days off! Who doesn't though? We have been spending the weekend with my brother Michael. So far, we've made some good food, watched movies and played Settlers while eating break-n-bake cookies. Tomorrow Kirk's gonna make us some smoked meat. MMM.... Hope you enjoy the pics.

When Toads Attack
Everyone has been posting about the incredibly large toads in our area, so I thought I would too. Only, mine is a sad story. Today Trixie was playing outside when she came across a frog. She likes to chase them and make them jump. Well, this frog turned out to be a poisoneous toad. Yeah, you can imagine what happened next. We heard Trixie whining outside so we went to investigate. Her whine quickly turned into a squeal, sounding exactly like a pig. She wouldn't let us pick her up but eventually we were able to wash her mouth out with the hose and she calmed down. We seriously thought we were going to lose her. It was bad. These giant toads are a serious problem for dogs. When your dogs go out at night, make sure you check their surroundings and keep a good eye on them. We found out the hard way. Beware!

Back Again
Ok, I am back to normal again, for now, I hope! Melissa, Heather and I went to a Breaking Dawn release party last friday. We had a blast! It was kind of dorky but fun to act like obsessive teenagers again. I haven't finished the book yet so no one tell me what happens! :) Enjoy reading (if you are)
