Even Puppies Need a Pat

[hoosiermama]

Things are busy, but okay. Trying to get ready for Christmas is always a huge task in our house, as there's so much cleaning to do, along with the last-minute shopping, baking, decorating (I finally got my outside lights up only yesterday!) and such. I'm just trying to enjoy my time with the boys, mixing in plenty of games of Uno and whiskey poker along with my chores. I took them to the golf practice green yesterday, where they really enjoy their putting and chipping contests with me, and I took S12 to the hardware store with me to buy some stuff I needed for the outside decorating, and we really had a great time.

My wife seems hell-bent on showing everyone how LITTLE help she needs, so whatever. I'm doing my share and then some, but not cleaning up after her the way I used to when she bakes. When my wife bakes, it looks like a cherry bomb went off inside of a flour bag!

Hey, it's all about the natural consequences of their behavior. Even if it's a floury messy kitchen!
