The Blog That Almost Wasn't... and Other News

I know it's been a few days since I posted last but I got the feeling no one was reading this so I kinda stopped. But since then, I've gotten requests to update so THANK YOU! Thanks for reading. (And now my mother can stop laughing at me.) I know there is a lot to read, but I talk a lot. Sorry. And I feel like if I don't post every single day, longer posts might be ok. :)

So... where to start? Ah.
Luke just finished his first official full week of school. And he survived. Discipline was a bit of an issue still but after Thursday, things hopefully should be better. :) I  received an email from him telling me his morning went well and his girls choir was very good. (He also told me his girls were interested in how many pairs of shoes I had.) This is because a couple days ago they commented on the fact that he always wears a different pair of pants and asked him how many pairs of dress pants he had. He told them that if they did well during rehearsal he would count them when he got home and let them know the next day. They were good, he told them 9. (I don't think that's right, for the record... he has to have more...) So I can only assume the topic of shoes came up today. (How, I have no clue) and again, if they were good, he'd tell them how many I have. Cracks me up. But it's stories like that that make me happy to know he is having fun with the students and they are having fun with him. Love it!

We have been busy around here as well. Bedroom is about 95% unpacked and done. We just have to finish painting the closet, hang new shelves and bring our clothes back up from the basement to hang. Then we have a beautiful room! (Then we get to tear it all apart again to paint the whole room. Ugh.)

The outside of the house is also coming together. Luke took out all he bushes from the front and I trimmed a couple of the others around the driveway today. Luke also installed new lights to line the drive. He was a bit self conscious about the drive looking like an airplane runway, and of course I give him a hard time about it, but it really looks pretty. I like it a lot. (Of course, it only looks as nice as Kylie will let it... she knocks them over all the time.)



We also have couches!! Did I mention that before? It's very exciting! Thank you again, Mom and Dad Overton, for letting us use your old couches. I can't tell you how nice it is to SIT!

And last, the Kylie update. She is as wonderful as ever. Except... this going in the house thing. UGH! It's mostly in the evening when Luke is home. When she's outside, all she wants to do is eat moths. When she's inside, she poops. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be nice. Other than that, she is as perfect as can be.
Well... kinda. She LOVES being outside so we got her a little steak for her leash so we can tie her out there. I'm not a fan cause it's hot and I'm so afraid someone is going to come and take her or she's going to get lose... anyway, she loves it. Rings her bell all day long to go lay out there. Well, as of two days ago, she has learned she can dig. And dig she does. 2 baths in 3 days. (Though I now have this bath thing down to a science! HA!) But we love her anyway so we just moved her steak. Done and done.
Another love she has is Lucas. Holy cow does she love Lucas. She snuggles with his shoes when he's gone, watches his every move from the window when he's outside working, sits in the bathroom when he's showering and freaks out when he gets home! She adores him! And as upset about the potty thing as he is, he loves her right back. For better or for worse, she's ours. And we love that goofy little dog. :)
I'll end with some pictures. I have to now take my car to get the nail out of the tire then pick up Luke! Enjoy!!
Trying to get to Luke under the seat of the car. (He's driving and she's in the back seat.)

Hogging the remote.

Taking a nap... Look at her tongue!!! Haha!


Got caught with Luke's sock. She knew it too.

Sleeping with Luke's shoes.

Yes, that's out bathroom and yes, Luke is in the shower. (To be fair, she usually sleeps on the bathmat when I shower.) She also likes to poke her nose against the shower curtain. When you poke it back, she goes and lays down. Who knows why.

Her favorite thing to do. She is also eating her bone with frozen peanut butter in it. Yum?
