Puppies, puppies, puppies

We are coming to the end of our 3 1/2 month puppy journey! 

Only one more. 

It's a lot of work, but worth it in the end. 

Not only for the extra $ but also for the learning experience it provides for the kids.

They not only got to watch them be born, 

but they learn about responsibility and caring for animals along with it.

Reagan adores the pups, but even she is was ready to be done cleaning puppy poop this time. :-)

We just have one little guy left....It's so nice just cleaning up after one 

but I'm also sad cause he misses his brothers. 

We had a fabulous day today after a great but LONG weekend getting 

ready for our Christmas program at church. 

After the program today we tore down the set and then Josh took us out to

Old Country Buffet. 

We haven't been in forever and if you sign up on Facebook with them you get a free meal!!!!!

Awesome! 

We all ate and ate and ate. We were hungry. It was nice not cooking! 

Then we came home and all took a nap 

then Josh said he'd found a new $3 theater so we went and saw a movie as a family 

which never happens cause I won't pay the price for tickets at a regular theater. :-)

It was nice to have a bit of extra cash from the puppies to go to lunch and a movie. 

Now the rest goes to pay bills....but I know that sometimes I have to lighten up and 

let us enjoy spending a bit of it. Not much though....:-)

The kids work really, really hard helping to take care of them so it was a nice treat for them

 and helps them see that their hard work paid off with a great family day spent together with the $ we earned as a family.
