Puppy Heaven

"Do you want to go see some puppies at 3 pm with me today?" asked my MIL today. Is the pope Catholic? She knew who she was asking and what my answer would be. She has been on a kick to add to her furry family and is really set on the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Cuties they are. Her mom had one many years ago and they both loved Willie beyond words. I had never seen one in person until today. How could you resist such a darling little face. The little guy in the picture above is seven weeks old and is just a sweetheart. He was all wiggles and tail wagging the whole time we were there.

The girls had a great time. There were puppies there that were around two weeks old - eyes still closed. Not walking. Cute as a button. Hard to resist. It was a fun hour.

Back tracking in the day a bit...it started out with Emma not having school today so we set out for a little fun. Shoe store - classified under fun because they get balloons. Olivia didn't attach herself to her shoes like they were sewn to her feet so we were actually successful at trying on some shoes and getting some new sneakers. Even Emma walked out with some. And of course, balloons. Colors carefully chosen by Emma of course.

Toys R Us was the next stop. That was a lot of fun. Trains were played with. Bathrooms were visited. Many toys were touched. Many requests were made to take said toys home. Many no's were said.

Last on the hit parade was Chuck E Cheese. Pizza, eaten. Games, played. Kids, fun city.
After a full day, the girl's finally gave in to the sandman. Good times had by all. What a great way to start off the week.
