It's Official!

It's official! We are dog owners!

Insert screeching brakes here. Not THIS dog. This is a face only its mother could love. Looks like a punk rock Yoda. What's with the tongue? That fancy collar does nothing to jazz that dog up. Ick.

Now, that's better! THIS cutie is coming home on Saturday. We will go pick her up on Saturday afternoon. We are all very excited.

Awww. So cute. We are still working on a name. Look at that tail go. She's a happy girl.

Word of the Day: Party. I hosted the staff Holiday party today. It was lots of fun. We brought gifts to do a white elephant exchange. To put a different spin on it, we chose numbers, and each of us unwrapped a present, showing it to everyone. Once all of the presents were opened, we set the timer for 10 minutes. In that 10 minutes, we passed 4 containers with dice. We each got one roll. If we rolled a double, we could steal any gift, giving them our current gift. I so wanted this light up penguin, and every time I rolled a double, I stole it, but then someone (usually the SAME someone) would steal it back. My para ended up with it. At the end of the 10 minutes, you ended up with the last gift in your possession. It was hysterical. Grown people, TEACHERS, screaming and running to get their prize, screaming for someone to hurry up and roll so that they could have their turn. So much fun.
