"She's so cute!"
-Isla
With Isla home alone during the day, she’s forced to find ways to entertain herself that don’t involve her older siblings. Sometimes this means playing with Magna-Tiles and ponies, other times it could mean hanging upside down or playing on the floor dressed up as a panda. No matter what she’s doing she seems to have a good time of it.
There’s not much to this, just three kids having fun making whatever they’re making out of household goods and non-washable acrylic paint that we didn’t know they would find.
Nina came over this weekend to see the kids and give Ashlyn some birthday presents. Based on Ashlyn’s face, I think she’s excited about it. The kids did their best to wear out Nina while she was here.
We never knew how much Rusty meant to the kids until after we lost him. As previously mentioned, I suspected we would eventually cave in and get another dog. Everyone, meet Sadie. Sadie is a rescue dog, and the first few days at our house were fun for Sadie and the kids as they got to know each other. Sadly, as I type this Sadie is at an animal hospital being treated for a possible parvo infection. We’re not sure how the kids will handle it if things don’t go well, but for now we’re going to think positive and hope that Sadie comes back a happy and healthy puppy.
Here’s hoping next week’s blog is a happy one.
