Turning out how I had it in my head.
Looking good.

Just a little deck.
Awesome!

Cat-Dog. Zoe with a dog cut. Oscar slobs all over her and matted her hair so badly she had to be shaved. I as her mom couldn't do it all, so sad. So, we compromised and did a Cat-Dog haircut. Really it's not as bad as it seems. I didn't cry when I picked her up although I was afraid I might have a tear so I took Alex with me for moral support. Picture is blurry but the best one I have with her standing up. She is always on the move these days. Hmmm, maybe it's to get away from slobby dog. ???
A new favorite picture of mine - darn that coat! Our subdivision had a garage sale this weekend and we at last minute decided to participate in it. My dh is the best garage saler around - seriously! Here JB and Oscar are watching the action - or rather waiting for more. It was the end of the day - all were tired.
Celebrity Update:
One note on Oscar. He is getting to be quite the mini-celebrity I'm finding out in our subdivision and a definate hit with the kids. One lady told me she was leaving her husband to marry Oscar - and her husband came down to see him and he confirmed she told him that too! I'm afraid pretty soon kids are going to be coming to the door not to see if Alex or Chad can play but if Oscar could come out and play. He has been skateboarding up a storm this weekend.
He has been working so hard on perfecting his skatboarding skills. We all try to take him out at minimum once a day to practice. He absolutely loves it and I find it theraputic for me as well to just watch. He is a bit sporadic in how he goes about it - a lot of it depends on his mood - and he hasn't quite figured out the concept of all four paws on the board. The way he goes about it is actually much harder on him so I'm looking forward to the day when he knows exactly what to do. However, having said that just yesterday, two times, he did actually have all four paws on the skateboard and skated across the culd-e-sac. I only saw it once but it was a hoot. I think it happened on accident and he was just tired. He was going so unbelievably slow - turtle like - but it went from one side of the culd-e-sac to the other, inching along but moving the whole time. He just stood there. Everyone who was outside (which were a lot) completely stopped what they were doing and watched. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then he got to the other side, put a foot down and everyone went crazy. I'm talking hands in the air, belly laughs, the whole thing. LOL! Tooooooo funny!!!! I know he is on a lot of peoples cell phones as photos because I saw them taking pictures. I think today I'm going to video him and attempt to post it. Too funny!
Hope you'll get to work on your kitchen project more soon. I am amazed at all of your talents. You are one SUPER woman! Admire that you can come up w/ stuff AND make it happen.
Oh, and Oscar-I just think he's a doll! He makes me smile everyday. I consider that a fringe benefit of my job. :)
