nothing much happened today....we had  a Macbeth rehearsal...i can't wait till we actually start rehearsing the play! right now we are just kinda doing activities to learn about the play...

Macbeth rehearsal

We had our first Macbeth rehearsal today! It was a lot of fun!!

LIT meeting

We had an LIT meeting today....it was great fun! The topic was spiritual warfare, so we sang the song Romans 16:19. It was hilarious! There were just 7 of us doing it, but it was hysterical!!! And SOMEBODY wasn't participating in the hand motions (quite fun), and then an 'argument' started about motions for songs, and it was, well, great! oh yeah, the same SOMEBODY doesn't like the rapping part of that song......

Puppies!!

All of the puppies eyes are open and they are walking!!! They are so
cute, but getting really big...the smalles i think is bout 29 ounces,
and the biggest is 52 ounces!!!!!!!

Casting Crowns, Kutless, and Caleb Chapman concert

The concert last night was AMAZING!!!!! For all of you mimes who are
reading this, they played WhoAmI, Stain Glass Masquerade, and a couple
of other mime songs.....

Recitation Contest

So today we had our recitation contest for our Shakespeare
Workshop.....by the time it was my turn, i was freaking out, but I
managed to do it, and not totally freak out! However, if you ask me what
occurred between the time I left my seat and the time I sat down to be
critiqued, I would look at you with this blank stare and say "I recited
something????" :)

Purple

I'm guessing that you're thinking that this post is going to be about the color purple, but you are wrong! Our puppies each have a different color collar, and that is how we tell them apart. The post is about the little pup with the purple collar.......she opened her eyes today!!! She will still be blind for a couple of days, but she is so cute! I expect that the rest of the pups eyes will be opening in a couple of days....oh yeah...some of the pups are starting to walk!! They are sooo cute!

Mime performance

Isn't my title so original?? :P Anyway, the mime performance this morning was awesome....nobody fell off the stage.....we didn't leave anybody behind, and we made Pastor Craig cry!

Is anybody going to the Casting Crowns Concert on Thursday?

Mime Performance

I had a mime performance tonight....lots of fun! During the sermon, Andee decided she wanted to make a bracelet out of a water bottle wrapper thing, and decided she wanted to draw on her knee.........The mime went really well, and nobody fell off the stage!!  :)

Mime pants

I bought new mime pants today...  :) I've been needing new ones for a long time, and I remembered that I didn't have any....it's a good thing I remembered when I did, cuz I have a mime performance tonight.....

Movie

I went to see the Percy Jackson movie last night...really really good!!!!!! It's very funny and has a couple of quotable lines....

Math

I got all of my math right today!! That makes me happy because I usually don't do that well!!!!

Bomboys Candy and puppy update

Today Katie came over to help with the puppies, but after a while I just needed to get out of the house, because I was going crazy.....so we walked to Bomboys and got candy....it smells so good in that store!!

Puppy update ~ one of the puppies (big orange - collar color) was really listless and wasn't eating anything, so we took him to the vet......for a while there we weren't sure if we would be going into the vet with a puppy and coming out without one, but he's hanging in there....the happy part about this is that he was nursing earlier and seems to be improving a very little bit, but he is moving a little bit, so its a very slight improvement, but still an improvement but....he's still not out of the woods yet....so we have to wait and see what happens

P.S.....I know i didn't post yesterday...cuz there wasn't anything to make me smile....we had to go to the dentists.....uggg.....

FREE Panera Bread

Our neighbor (somehow or other) managed to get Panera bread that is a couple of days old but still really good.....he had tons, so he gave some to us......there were bagels, 2 loafs of bread, and big bag full of bagets(sp?)!!!!!! YAY!!!

Day three with puppies (for yesterday)

I think that over the next few days, maybe weeks, that most of my posts will be about the puppies, since that is what my life is going to revolve around for the next few weeks. So yeah. I know I didn't post yesterday....I kinda got busy and then really tired, so I didn't post....but I'll post now for yesterday and then later on today for today. We started supplement feeding the puppies yesterday, and it is so cute!! Most of the time the puppies are fairly clean about it, but then there is this occasional puppy that had to make a mess and get a milk mustache! It is so cute!!

Here is the link to the site with the picture of the puppy with the mustache!

Day 1 with puppies (for yesterday)

Yesterday was the first day with puppies.........they are so cute! Mr. Orange (we identify them by their ribbon color) was the last puppy to be born and there was a fight for his life. However, now that he is alive, he is the LOUDEST puppy of them all. He is constantly making noise, and driving us bonkers!

PUPPIES!!!!

We have 10 new puppies, the oldest being just of 12 hours old, and the youngest being 7 hours old.....there are 5 females and five males. They were delivered between 10:00pm and 3:30am.....which meant a long night with a little under 5 hours sleep......I actually took a nap between 12:30 and 2:30 so thats how I got so much sleep (compared to christine, who got like 2.5 hours)!

Shakespeare, Puppies

We had another Shakespeare Workshop.....it was a lot of fun!!!! Also, my dog should be having her puppies soon......but it might be longer...........

Muffins

I made blueberry muffins, and despite the fact that I forgot the baking powder (I then remembered and put it in) and I thought I put in to many blueberries, they turned out great! They are so great my dog licked the plate.....seriously though, she did have some......she gets treated like a queen when she's pregnant......

SHOCKED!!

My family received some shocking news today. I am sure that by now most of you know that our golden retriever dog is pregnant. Her due date is Saturday or Sunday. We took her in for an x-ray to determine how many puppies she has. Between our family our guesses ranged from 5-8. We were all wrong. The x-ray shows that she has 10-11 puppies!!!!!!! Thats crazy.....an average litter is 8......It's going to be interesting!!!!
