Sleep, Blood, Oatmeal

I probably grossed somebody out with that title, but you'll understand in a little while! But we'll start with something cute and cuddly, Bogey and Gregory asleep on the couch, together. Greg doesn't take too many naps any more, only because he doesn't hold still long enough to fall asleep. This is what happens when he does decide to sit or lay down for a minute :D This started out as just a little petting of the dog on the couch. Then the thumb went in the mouth, and "viola!" asleep in the droop of an eye! Which makes for a really cute picture. Greg is not feeling so great today, he went to the hospital this morning to have his teeth worked on, he had a lot of work to be done, and the last fillings he had made him really skittish about the dentist, so we decided to go this route. It went very well, he's just sleepy and a little crabby. And all his teeth are fixed, no pain! I'm really glad this was an option for him. Anyway, we'll be brushing and flossing much more now...

Ok, so now I'll let you see the next picture first...

and then the BLOOD! So I took the kids and Bogey over to G'pa and G'ma Beal's house for a visit, and he was excited and rowdy when we got there, so I put him outside. I was talking to G'ma when I heard G'pa say, "What is that all over the patio and door, is it blood?" So saying he opened the door, and Bogey being the quick little booger that he is, squirts between his legs and starts tearing through the house. G'pa meanwhile yells, "It's blood, he's bleeding, CATCH HIM!" HA, yeah, right. The dog is small and fast and is halfway down the hall by now. Fortunately, that's a dead end so I cornered him and sure enough, his ear is dripping blood, so I grabbed him and shoved him back outside. But the damage was done, he had successfully splattered the carpet, and as he ran his ears of course flopped, so there was blood up the walls too. So the first 45 minutes of our visit was spent cleaning up blood...and he was still outside dripping blood all over the patio. It was just a small nick on the end of his ear, but man did it leak! It was still bleeding a couple of hours later. So he eventually ended up with this bandaid on his ear, so we could get him home. I was ready to give him away for a minute there, but it really wasn't his fault...I guess :D I'm just glad G'ma and G'pa were so nice about it, and I'm glad their carpet has flecks in it, hides the blood speckles better :P Just kidding, we cleaned it all up.

Ok, so that's that story, let's move on to pleasanter topics...
like sisters
and snappy dressers...


and messy oatmeal babies. And for Julia, no I did not let her feed herself, I don't do that :D She grabbed the bowl off the table and this is what I came back too, and this is why I don't let my kids feed themselves messy types of food until they are capable of doing it without making a mess, usually this is around the age of....three?? I don't know, I'd just rather take the time to feed them than spend excess time bathing, mopping, wiping, etc....I've never found it annoying to feed them though, it's our time, and usually I'm eating anyway, and most of my friends know how slow I eat anyway :D Anyway, hope you enjoyed these, I'll be doing a another post soon with pictures from Kay's birthday! Have a nice weekend everybody!
