Here's what our puppy looks like this morning...

I keep telling Sydney the marker belongs on the paper!

Apparently Jewel got too close

Granted, the dog shouldn't surprise me, this was Sydney yesterday...after brushing her teeth

And before brushing her teeth...you should have heard the wail come out of her...as if I was the one that turned her a brilliant shade of aqua. The drool running off her was plopping on the bathroom counter just as vivid as if it was dripping from the marker!

Man am I glad someone invented washable markers...

Here are the girls in the Mall of America this weekend. Poor Sydney had a half hour nap on our 5 hour road trip followed by 5 hours of straight shopping, and fell asleep on our way back out.

It's been a week since we were there and she's all ready to go back while mommy is still recovering!

And here's Halloween!

We made it through...all the candy that is!

Sydney wasn't too sure of the first doorbell of the first house, and I made sure it was someone she knew so she wouldn't be scarred for life. After that first one, and realizing ringing the doorbell resulted in candy she was like a runaway train! We went to every house that had a light in a 4 block radius before daddy met up with us....and got oohed and ahhed at at every place when she said "trick or treat" and "thankyou" then we were off to people we knew around town, which was even more fun for her, she'd walk right in and make herself at home!

After being followed by the sweetest all black kitten and a few more houses we filled 2 pumpkins and headed back home to eat and crash!
