Goodie Bag

Fred on being inconspicuous.

"Don't move Freddie Boy.....just lay here acting normal."

"What?"
"Okay. She doesn't see the bag."  "Let's see what's inside."

"Jeez!" " It's empty! What good's a goody bag if there's no goodies in it!"

"Stupid thing." 

"Aaaahh....phfffttt...phfftt..

"Grrrrrr.....stupid.....freakin'....oh,oh... here she comes!"

"Momma!" "Look what Gloria did!"

It Must Be Christmas...........

The Detroit Lions are still in! 
They did get 11 penalties.......

......but only one was a personal foul this time. 
The way the game started off, it  looked like it was going to be one sided.  The Vikings gave up the ball to three interceptions by the Lions, it was almost like the Lions were playing themselves! Then the Vikings brought in Webb and nobody could catch him.  The pendulum started to shift.  The end was definitely a nail biter  but the Lions pulled it off.  Final score 34-28.  Sorry, Remington!

 
I was supposed to be there with hubby,  but Fred and Gloria have seemed a little off lately, so I opted to stay home with my babies and catch the game on the big screen.   I think  there's so much going on around here with Christmas getting closer, that they get antsy like little kids 'cause they know something is up.   Did Steve take these pictures at the game?  Nooooo.   I took them off of our 58" Panasonic HD.  Pretty good, eh.  Ya, ya, why would I do that.    I just wanted to have the feeling of being at the game snapping off shots, I guess. Yep, I've got issues!
Whatever.

Fred spent the weekend playing with his food dish. 
First he had a stand off with one of his toys.

"You talkin' to me"
"Are YOU talkin' to ME!"


Then he spent all day Sunday playing with his food dish.

Apparently we haven't had to spend hundreds of dollars on toys.

We just needed an extra noisy  food dish!
Now it's Monday.  Can't wait to see what this week brings!

On Frozen Ground

Finally! So thankful it's Thursday and the ground has froze up. Which means no more muddy dog paws to wipe every five minutes and best of all all the poop is frozen when you go to clean it up! Yipee!  Oh, this makes my life sooo much easier.  Although now the poop is just turdcicles to Gloria.  I just have to beat her to it!
Since I had a little more free time today, I actually got some Christmas baking done. The hounds didn't know what to think since they didn't get to taste any as it was all chocolate today.

Gloria sat patiently waiting at her t.v. table.

"I'm ready for my cookie, Momma."

But just couldn't understand why she couldn't have a cookie to try.  Did she actually think she'd need a knife and fork?  She's such a neat freak.
Freddie......well,

"Whaaaaaaaa!"

"I want a COOKIE!!"


He just threw his normal temper tantrum on the kitchen floor.  He hasn't learned that it doesn't get him anywhere!  Sorry Freddie!
Now I'm off to wrap, I mean try and wrap some presents while Fred watches quietly. Ya right! Time to put in my Michael Buble Christmas CD,  pour a glass of wine (it's five o'clock somewhere, isn't it?) and wrap some gifts.  Wish me luck!

Size Matters

This is still on the topic of the King Size bed matter. Apparently, it's driving me bonkers. But first I'd like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the U.S. We will be over in Detroit again today at the Thanksgiving Day Football Game. Yeah!! Let's hope Detroit can be the ones to finally break Green Bays winning streak! If the Lions can just repeat last Sundays game, it would be a shoe in. Matthew, Calvin, Nate and Kevin Smith (the big surprise) played an awesome game. So, let's see that again today.(a girl can dream can't she?) To top it all off Nickelback is the halftime show. I know there was a lot of controversy over them doing the halftime show, but we love them; and it's not just because we are Canadian either!

As for last Sunday night, Fred went BONKERS when we got home from the football game. ( And yes, the Lions won 49-35 booyah!!) Gloria just wanted to cuddle and wouldn't leave my side. But boy oh boy was Freddie in a mood. It lasted until about 10:00 p.m. when he finally crashed....in our bed of course and as you'll see by the picture below just how little room Stevie and I have when we go to bed at night.


Warning: Some viewers may find these pictures offensive or distasteful or both. But there was just no getting around it. It's the bare truth.
 

 
That's the view from Steves side of the bed. You'll notice the football game on the t.v. That's because there's always football on our t.v.


Aaaaaannnd this is my lovely view.

You'd think the least he could do is put his head up by us instead of his butt! Anywho, this is why we are desperately in need of a king size bed. Did I say desperately. I mean DESPERATELY. You just don't kick bassets out of your bed, you go bigger!


So you see, size really does matter!

Detroit Bound!

We're off to Detroit this morning to catch the 1:00 p.m. game against the Carolina Panthers "blah".  I don't know how Fred and Gloria know we're going but every time we get up and get ready to go to a Lions game they sense that we are about to leave them for the day.  Then the guilt trip starts.

"Don't do it Momma."  "Don't leave us again."  Yes, then the promises come.  Gloria says she won't eat poop anymore and Freddie, well there's just to many promises to mention as the list would go on forever!
But I am tough.  I do not cave in to them pulling at my heartstrings.  It is my day away from the kids....and yes I will miss them, but I will also enjoy every minute of it!

So they try to block the door.

"Come on Gloria!"  "We've got to disable this door so she can't get out!"

Silly puppies!

They'll enjoy some quality time when their sister Brandi (check out her blog  at YeeWittleThings) comes over to babysit them.  They just don't know it yet.

As for me, I've painted my nails blue, am putting on my game face and saying my prayer.  "Dear Lord, please let the Lions whomp the Panthers butt!!"

Goooooooooooo Lions!!!!
