Puppies in the living room.


Squirrel "watching" TV
Mudge "watching" TV


ABC Family is showing their 25 days of Christmas programming. Every night from December 1st to the 25th they show Christmas specials and movies. For some reason Harry Potter is consider among these "Christmas Movies" Every year they do a HP marathon, but I always thought the movies were much too scary for my crew. This year (after an obsessive reading of Twilight, the Uglies Series, the Barcode Tatoo and a parade of other creepy books that seem to be the current favorite genre) I decided the kids would probably enjoy the movies and in turn would request the books to read.

Last night they were all set to enjoy the movie from Sunday night that they had recorded, when the puppies drew them into the front room. Hmmmm. What to do? Movie in the family room or cuddling in the "puppy room"? The kids were giddy when I got a big blanket out and put it on the floor and brought the puppies in the family room for the movie. I think they were under the impression that I was doing something naughty by taking the puppies out of the whelping box. Daniel asked - are we allowed to do that. Morgan was all "Border Collie" about keeping them contained on the blanket. Sophie just climbed on they blanket and curled up with them! I am not sure you want the puppies review of the movie... after the intial tour of the blanket, they fell fast asleep!
Back in the box, Squirrel loves her mommy! What a sweet hug!
Mindy and friends...go back to work! There are children to teach! Minds to inspire! Papers to grade! :)
