winter break

The kids have been on winter break for the past week. I know I complain about summer vacation and how I can't wait for them to go back, but as they get older and become more independant of me it's actually nice sleeping in a bit and having them home. We went out a few times, once to the movies...never again, thank God we were the only ones in there! Naomi was wild! Three boxes of popcorn on the floor later...sheesh...
We went bowling, that was fun, then they got bored! ...then we went swimming at a local hotel, heated pool and hot tub. But mostly we just stayed home.
Our dog Tyson is on the wild side. He is kind of like Marley...always getting into trouble!
I was fine with him thinking he will outgrow this phase, but then some people kept putting doubts in my mond about him, saying he is way too agressive with strangers etc.
I even found him a home! But in the end we have decided it's not worth it to give him away. Other than being very protective of us, which I think (I have been reading dog training books) and the occasional chasing of cars, stealing food off the table etc..he isn't really all that bad. he isn't agressive or protective over his food or anything. And he won't charge at people, he always barks from a distance. Anyway, we are going to work on him, he is still very young, and hopfully he is just in the hyper ADHD stage...LOL




Kobe is clapping, shaking his head "no" and waving "bye bye" He is still very cuddly though and lays his head on your shoulder and snuggles, and not just me, also anyone who holds him, which of course wins everyone over with his sweetness. He doesn't have the "tall nose" that my inlaws and his Dad love but I think they still believe he is pretty cute...besides, he has their nose :P
