What's Happenin'!

It feels like it's been forever since I posted, I can't believe it was just a few days ago. There is a lot going on here at the Dogghouse! Ivan has officially decided that he is not wearing diapers anymore and he is doing awesome with the potty training! Thanks to the Dollar Tree for providing cheap toys as rewards, he is almost all trained. I think it's really me that's trained to remind him to go! We are home today anxiously awaiting the arrival of my best-friend Mandy and her family. They are more than half way here and we can't wait! Everyone here has been sick or at least everyone but Matt but we are over it and even passed it on to the neighbors...so much for making new friends, their gonna hate us. We spend our afternoons at the park down the street where the kids get totally covered in sand. I swear every time we come home they bring it all with them. Needless to say there is always sand in the bottom of their bathtub. It looks like we are going to get our old cat "Polly" back and we are very excited about that too! Getting her here is going to be a trick but we'll manage it. I'm working part-time from home and things are starting to pick up. I am hoping that I can avoid working at the local grocery store. Thanks to all of those that have kept in touch, we miss everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
