Makeovers by Sammy with the Musical Vanity







Thanks Grace, Ingrid and Gretchen! The kids love their new hats and mittens!

Sammy can sure Hula! Maybe over the vacation she can teach me how!


Maisie needs a little practice.
Look at that haul!

Surprise!





After having her heart broken Sammy is ready to love again! I surprised Sam with a pair of Rex Rats from the pet store (not the basement) Wed after school. They are girls and have been named Winie (short for Winfield) and Yatzee. Winie is the gray one with the white stripe on her nose. She has a great temperment and comes to us when we speak sweetly to her. Yatzee has black markings on her face and back. She needs a little more time to get used to us. She is still biting and is a little scared of the kids. We are giving her some space for now but hope she'll come around soon.

Sad News


Today Sam's pet rat Rizzo died. She is really upset, she loved him very much. Last night during her birthday party sleepover, the girls went up to give him a treat and he was curled up in a ball and struggling to breath. He died this afternoon.

Sam isn't ready to talk about it with anyone but we thought we should let everyone know. Lisa

"Bye Rizzo, you were a good pet, even if your tail smelled bad" love Maisie

Snow Day!

First big snow! All in all about 8 inches of snow. It's nice and warm and great packing snow but way too heavy to shovel, I worked in 3 one hour blocks and barely made a dent in it. We need a plow!!!



Day With Friends

Happy Birthday Emma!
