Over the Weekend

Sorry this is late. I always think I can do the Weekend Review on Monday morning. But, no such luck. See it's already Wednesday and this is the Review:

The BIG story of the weekend...

Sinclaire is officially 5! It was a big week for her. She had a total of three parties. The best, of course, was the last one. It was Saturday night and was only family.

She was the recipient of the soooo many gifts she had no clue where to begin. The party began with pizza and wine. Well, soda for Sinclaire and cousins. Emme had her very first slice of pizza that night. She gummed the heck out of it. The grown-ups did an absolutely awesome job of eating annoyingly slow so that Sinclaire was forced to just look at that gifts and cake in a longing fashion. She wasn't even allowed to open the candy that was attached to the present Aunt Tammie brought. It was sooooo horrible.


I did want to take a moment to show you the cake. It was Sinclaire's design. You see it is a coiled rattlesnake. This is going to get her closer to her dream husband, Harry Potter. In addition to the rattlesnake cake, she received a "Spell Making Kit" so she can learn the appropriate potions to lure Harry into her trap. Of course the best gift of all was from Aunt Tammie. The Chia Pet!! Just what every girl needs. We won't tell her that Aunt Tammie managed to kill her Chia pig in one day. Who knew it would freeze to death if left in 30 degree temperature for several hours? Anywho, happy 5th Sinclaire. We'll do it all over for Emme's first next week.

In other weekend news: I had the privilege of puppy sitting Izzy. Sorry, didn't get pics. We had a great time walking all over midtown. I even found several new lofts that would be perfect for Nicole and Ryan to live in.

Millie and Toby watched several hours of the Dog Whisperer and I'm happy to report, Millie is doing well with the whole, Mommie is the Leader of the Pack idea. Well that is until last night. To calm her I tried the holding her down by the back of the neck. This is supposedly to make her submissive to me because that is how a dominant dog would hold her down. She evidently has forgotten that. She thought it meant, oh Mommie wants to wrestle. Toby was relieved because that meant she was leaving him alone. I guess we still have some work to do.

Long Days and Pleasant Nights!
