There's SO MUCH Poop!

Ok, we're on DAY 6 of fostering SEVEN puppies and I'm really feeling it.

The garbage can is packed with gross puppy training pads and I've been cleaning up poop and pee for the last week and ... sheesh ... it's been a whole lotta work.

Alice and I have dry, cracking hands from the amount of times we wash them. And there's a smell I can't describe coming from the playpen area.

And it's not just me, the girls are a lot less jazzed about the pups than the were over the weekend. And the pups have pretty much had it with their small, enclosed space. They want OUT.

We've picked our preferred pup (more soon) and we're just waiting out the clock until the rest of them have their adoption interviews on Saturday. They are ready to be out in the world.

And I'm reading "Puppies for Dummies" and trying to start out on the right foot with our newest family member.

Still don't think it's the craziest thing I've ever volunteered for. (We just got back from living in FRANCE, for Pete's Sake!) But we're certainly feeling the pooped. HA!

Here's some PUPPY CUTENESS! Because despite all the poo, there's also a lot of snuggles, kisses and hugs.

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
