She was surprised, in a house full of kiddos I took the time to match my socks. I bit back tears of both laughter and sadness, but mostly sadness. If she only knew the story of what socks in my life mean. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;">We used to love to miss-match socks. Now, they are required to enter rooms (an OCD thing). However, socks can be fun and free us from time to time. I'll sometimes throw one over Kiddo's or Dane's shoulder for fun. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8DTb-lseCdQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="8DTb-lseCdQ"></iframe></div><p><br /></p><p>We've received & purchased a lot of socks this year!

Knowing M* needed a furry roommate, I simply could not resist! Armed with the cute cage, I strutted into the pet store. The experts recommended the tiniest furballs as the cage was not the Hilton I believed it to be. I inquired about their personalities and got a firm "Pick this one, hands down."</p><p>Dane, initially grumpy, had a change of heart when he saw her joy and later apologized for stealing my thunder. Naming critters has always been a struggle for our family, not this time! "Nugget" as he was the perfect sized treat for always hungry Miss Kitty. </p><p>Now, here's where it gets comically absurd. Sam insists on calling him "Bingus," perhaps because when he's in his purple hamster ball, it's driving resembles mine. Nugget's hilarity keeps us all entertained! We just need to keep the killer, Miss Kitty, from making him her little nugget! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy78cAxmXGqTRoX6sqmhtgkvC7Gl36-hqmcgYpYpTV8h5S0XV5e5ThuNBzMvPOuRYAEOR8XFBghbUMpAQHvpQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01391235654294967155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199275956527117935.post-84176744832202582342023-11-12T18:42:00.000-08:002024-02-01T10:25:30.177-08:00PDX Coins<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HeMg_A7C325c5Y8bXNDscgUj5Tcysn2CGXWobHoPFxL2XIn090q7w4rHwwpvou2fS1lz3UtVC7iY-h14MRfdjR0FoI5Wd4ejrCoH6XQu2CFlaRJa-w3DY8wSLTmAA-X9tnt1JzwikE1z_fM_5_s614Syi5oq6D-ulVsdTRLBkFbKb15aPIuQoGC07Kc/s4032/20231105_182334.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HeMg_A7C325c5Y8bXNDscgUj5Tcysn2CGXWobHoPFxL2XIn090q7w4rHwwpvou2fS1lz3UtVC7iY-h14MRfdjR0FoI5Wd4ejrCoH6XQu2CFlaRJa-w3DY8wSLTmAA-X9tnt1JzwikE1z_fM_5_s614Syi5oq6D-ulVsdTRLBkFbKb15aPIuQoGC07Kc/w400-h300/20231105_182334.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;">Dane and I dropped Christian, Sam, and his friend at the PDX coin show.

They lasted at the show for exactly how long it took to eat. Sam called just as we got the check, bored and wanting to leave: "Hey Bozos, where are you?" While walking back we spotted him standing on the back of the car!

Unsure of myself and walking in costume, I chose putt-putt golf. I was instructed to give one treat only after they had sunk the ball in the hole, but they could try as many times as they wanted. I sneaked in extra treats, as every kid (minus one, a teen) kept trying until the ball was sunk. YIKES, that was a lot of lunging after balls to tee up. I got a great workout! The next day, my quads and glutes burned! It was worth every smile, shy "thank you," and of course seeing Emma having a fun day at school. Trick-or-treating tonight—yikes, that's a lot of sugar for this little one!</span></span><div><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;"><span style="color: #374151;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6eIA1XhRfDC8TnqC58tF9hB6GEldUUxGW0vbtapHWCFuF2iRxB0gk2LmNVVjzn3UfdnTq2gO7H_rxfbquscmllBANFHbKBgwqK6pnVJbHWWKofOTe_VD7vTaSWZVkfx6KAxO0K9ieNxWJ7ReYACQB1K0VNzlknALDXcQ5uS58w52kEY20F6LpyrJPiw/s4032/20231031_103409.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB6eIA1XhRfDC8TnqC58tF9hB6GEldUUxGW0vbtapHWCFuF2iRxB0gk2LmNVVjzn3UfdnTq2gO7H_rxfbquscmllBANFHbKBgwqK6pnVJbHWWKofOTe_VD7vTaSWZVkfx6KAxO0K9ieNxWJ7ReYACQB1K0VNzlknALDXcQ5uS58w52kEY20F6LpyrJPiw/s320/20231031_103409.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoEiwukUbQUWJTaAkoaKrHYWpqzZnlYz32fWBoNA6NM26sMTmMb-GmFa5I7FKPrwU2pbRv40xSGKPOTWOQ-mbspDboA47shcJRcWl2OWwtuKX76k6MKSilyElFOWUtjxVw9It9QJSQ2lG2mEqEucXAVM692pmymiUfNALEbcdzFh2elZ3SRxxW_z1ZWY/s4032/20231031_110227.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoEiwukUbQUWJTaAkoaKrHYWpqzZnlYz32fWBoNA6NM26sMTmMb-GmFa5I7FKPrwU2pbRv40xSGKPOTWOQ-mbspDboA47shcJRcWl2OWwtuKX76k6MKSilyElFOWUtjxVw9It9QJSQ2lG2mEqEucXAVM692pmymiUfNALEbcdzFh2elZ3SRxxW_z1ZWY/s320/20231031_110227.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZDmQPjsrMq1EmAOWBHjZPTon1Ec3f0Qi-N9w2DFskKz4GBQi9LJeH-SBH4Pj1NnlNIg8-sUe7KHge4rqFQGbPQroG4ZTQNjBrweasUfgnKipE6DWGYhxN3sPKE1cVtNlbAC-uYedKSbMUJfq8DOAC0hklBRUMvvBTHX_NscBSA9VrDXr0tLKFdjumcI/s4032/20231031_112027.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZDmQPjsrMq1EmAOWBHjZPTon1Ec3f0Qi-N9w2DFskKz4GBQi9LJeH-SBH4Pj1NnlNIg8-sUe7KHge4rqFQGbPQroG4ZTQNjBrweasUfgnKipE6DWGYhxN3sPKE1cVtNlbAC-uYedKSbMUJfq8DOAC0hklBRUMvvBTHX_NscBSA9VrDXr0tLKFdjumcI/s320/20231031_112027.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLZI_8v1eT7kE0lHra8pr4TB2XTIBAqbiqbJipkQ4B2g4YNMujAM1A_NjtaVB05LiV8UZlFNWOJfONezu2BcUFsx6YQIPq_DRj1rlHHcEeiVjD6B-Jp75bE-6mIX7kNq4J9JCwl9fencNGclppQvF01Uq0fxzfhTQZX7pj4-KCxY1mm269G7d8HfdVQjQ/s1253/Emmaharvestparty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="940" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLZI_8v1eT7kE0lHra8pr4TB2XTIBAqbiqbJipkQ4B2g4YNMujAM1A_NjtaVB05LiV8UZlFNWOJfONezu2BcUFsx6YQIPq_DRj1rlHHcEeiVjD6B-Jp75bE-6mIX7kNq4J9JCwl9fencNGclppQvF01Uq0fxzfhTQZX7pj4-KCxY1mm269G7d8HfdVQjQ/s320/Emmaharvestparty.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div></div>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01391235654294967155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199275956527117935.post-16178225273230786252023-10-31T13:53:00.003-07:002024-02-04T10:08:09.910-08:00Trick-or-Treat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We decided to host a thrilling Halloween party for Sam and Emma's friends, and it turned out to be a fantastic evening.<br /><br />We transformed the trail into a spooky Halloween adventure, lighting it with candles and leaving clues and riddles for the kids to follow. The trail was an exciting journey filled with flashlights and a sense of adventure, and we managed to avoid the tricky divots underfoot. At the end of the trail, the kids discovered a treasure chest brimming with Hershey chocolates - more sugar for the already hyped-up kids!<br /><br />The party was a blast, featuring activities like mummy wrapping and fun games that had the kids laughing and having a great time.<br /><br />Though we missed our traditional public Wenzel Fantasy Trail, this unique Halloween party became a memory the kids will cherish forever. </span><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's like watching a tiny tornado with boundless energy. Fueled by a blend of sugar and sunshine, she transforms into a playground ninja, swinging from the monkey bars, adding layers to her calloused hands. Then, there's always my attempt to race her to the swings, which is my favorite part of the playground. One night, I struck a deal with a young boy. You see, Emma wanted me to catch her, but knowing that would never happen, I resorted to a dollar-fueled solution. She had so much fun running from the boy and was happy to make a friend! When he caught her, she said, "Pay up!" but there was no way I would be seen giving a little boy a dollar, so I had her fork over the cash. I later struck up a conversation with the boy's mom who had a beautiful Aussie! </span></div><p></p>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01391235654294967155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199275956527117935.post-10605309219236772522023-10-08T10:54:00.000-07:002024-02-01T11:01:55.333-08:00Student of the Month<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYX2wU5N7cb83cATsBhxz6pyupWRSXRXTmqx_L9r6Ql-M53FuBHhg3NgGF39xWXVVRnOSECZfpssmC0XnLzNtUFxFMqrjGHGwky1rS4zrW6cu5JL5-7zN2qjS5cJdssD2DngfCTgvCgjMgLFpPowa8nFHR5TjdwpL_7zCAXoQaQXd3Af230sCVrmm-Xnk/s1080/387030808_10233109110408942_688071209730696022_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYX2wU5N7cb83cATsBhxz6pyupWRSXRXTmqx_L9r6Ql-M53FuBHhg3NgGF39xWXVVRnOSECZfpssmC0XnLzNtUFxFMqrjGHGwky1rS4zrW6cu5JL5-7zN2qjS5cJdssD2DngfCTgvCgjMgLFpPowa8nFHR5TjdwpL_7zCAXoQaQXd3Af230sCVrmm-Xnk/w400-h400/387030808_10233109110408942_688071209730696022_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Brandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01391235654294967155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199275956527117935.post-30206647353542453612023-10-08T09:50:00.007-07:002024-02-01T11:07:18.261-08:00Ball<p></p><div style="text-align: center;">My dog's smarter than yours!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi244rLty57Ws27WATKJwQ61W0c0Px2JRXx2z-bggyn4ktwGSoMd-QqGKJ7noamIKuxv20rpWLM32EXfDyje3tmbBmcVQSEQ-Ogg4J-RArLmkSzobHLvatQZCXGNFzpWzLBUwC7oL4Hd5G-pwyLtt2zG9eSTtCxegaeUGIMnpeAh2hJ6MEqVazSjDaJjHs/w300-h400/20230830_204804.jpg" /></div><span style="font-family: Playfair Display;"><br />Chloe is the extraordinary Aussie whose love for squeaky balls is only matched by her vigilance against rogue squirrels.
