WOWEE WOW WOW! I went and saw the Twilight movie last weekend (Saturday afternoon) with some of my BeAuTiFuL cousins. IT WAS AWESOME! I am jealous of Edward and Bella. Being young and infatuated with each other. aaawwwww. It's sort of refreshing.

Anyway, we were crate-training Cecil for the last few weeks. He has graduated to the bathroom. A little bit more freedom for him. Well, one day last week, I came home for lunch to check on him, and this is what I found...

And here he is waiting outside the bathroom, looking at me like,

"What? Did I do something wrong?"

He loves anything that comes out of the dryer. These are 'newly warmed' towells... I let him cuddle on them for a minute... Look at that face! How can I resist!?

Little stinker. He is so dang cute. I love how excited he gets when we come home. He has a great personality. Will gave him a new toy to play with.. a golf ball. And he loves it.

Little Cecil

I haven't posted about Cecil for a few posts now... So I thought I'd post some more pics of him. He is turning into a 'long dog' (hahaha) that's what I call our daschsunds (or weenie dogs). He is the cutest. And he has such a great personality on him. That is of course, except for at 2 in the morning when he thinks it's time to get up and play. Little turd. That happened last night. Will ended up staying up with him from midnight to about 1, then Will snuck out into the living room while I was sleeping, and left me to fend myself with Cecil. Sneaky Sneak. SO, I was up with Cecil till about 2 or so. Off and On. He would lay down and relax for about 10-15 minutes, then want to get up and play again. I just had to keep telling him NO, and try to settle him down. Finally he fell asleep around 3 and I had to get up at 5:50. Anyway, here are some pictures of him... I made him a little sweater..

Will & I are now carpooling...

So, there I was driving home from work yesterday... and I get side-swiped by some crazy lady driver going god-knows-how-fast. I was driving along in the right hand lane, and she was in the far left (on the freeway). All the sudden, I see her cutting across all 3 lanes to try and get off the exit that was on the right hand side of the freeway. It just so happens I was in her way. She didn't have her blinker on and it didn't seem like she even looked to see if anyone was in the way. She just darted across the freeway. Best part of it is.. she has no insurance. She hit the front, left side of my truck, and smacked the rest of her SUV into mine as we kept going.. I have quite a bit of body damage, and the alignment is off. Lovely. When we came to a stop, I was freaking out. Crying like a baby. IT SCARED THE SHI* OUT OF ME. I immediately called Will and told him what happened. She hit me pretty hard. I didn't really feel much pain or stiffness last night, but this morning my back is really bugging me. (More than normal.) (For those of you who don't know, I have Scoliosis.. and I pretty much just deal with the pain on a daily basis anyway..) Back to the story.. when we came to a stop, I couldn't control my tears, they just kept coming. I was so freaked out. I have NEVER been in an accident that severe. I've been in rear-end crashes, but that's about it. Anyway, she came and knocked on the window (while she was on her cell phone) and she asked if I was ok. That was it. Then she walked away. Looking back on the situation it seemed like she didn't even care that she almost killed me. I am surprised I didn't yell at her. I was so mad, but scared at the same time. And the BITC* doesn't have insurance. GREAT. Now what am I going to do. I can't afford to pay for my truck to get fixed. Anyway, here are some pics... the drivers side door will only open a few inches, so when I got home I had to crawl out the passenger side.

Loosing Teeth & Playin In Leaves

We had a pretty eventful weekend. Porter dressed up as a vampire (again.) He wanted to wear his costume again because it still fit. He didn't have school on Friday, so I had to leave work around 2 to pick him up. As we were on our way to the house to pick up Cecil, Porter started messing with his loose tooth. It was ready to come out. So, I told him to keep messing with it and it would come right out. Sure enough, it came out! He was so excited! It was his first tooth that he lost! So, we called his Dad and he told Will all about it. That night, the tooth fairy came and left him $1.00. Porter really wanted to keep his tooth for some reason, so Will talked to the tooth fairy and asked her to make sure to leave the tooth so that Porter could keep it. He's a funny kid.

He had his school Halloween parade on Thursday, because of 'no school' on Friday.

So, after he pulled his tooth out on Friday, we were both dressed up, so we got Cecil and went to see Will at his work. Everyone loved our costumes. Tiffany wanted to take Po trick-or-treating, so we took him up to her at the salon around 5:30. They went trick-or-treating with Cooper (Po's friend) and Cooper's Mom and 2 sisters. They had a lot of fun. We got a call from Tiff around 8, saying that Ashley's (Cooper's Mom) car wouldn't start. Tiffany had left her car at Ashley's house, and they all road in Ashley's... So, Will, Cecil, and I went to rescue everyone. We went and picked up Tiff, Ashley, Po, Coop, and Coop's 2 little sister's (I don't remember their names...) and took them all to Ashley's house. We hung out for a bit and let the kids play, then it was time to go home. It was our weekend, so we took Po home with us.

Saturday morning, I woke up pretty early with Po and Cecil. I couldn't sleep... So, we let Will sleep, and went into the living room to play. Cecil and Po were wrestling and I was watching and laughing. They make me laugh pretty hard. Po gets him so riled up. Cecil will bark at him, with his little barky voice. It's pretty cute.

This is the aftermath of the wrestling... He's pooped. So, he comes and cuddles with Mom.

We took Cecil on a walk on Saturday evening, and he loved it. He was going crazy running through the leaves. He's a crazy dog. He had a lot of fun. He got running so fast, the leave would fly up behind him.
