All In A Weekend

This was a divide and conquer weekend as we had a couple of commitments that we need to tend to. First was our usual of taking the boys to the trainer since hunting season is upon us. Normally I wouldn't mind packing up the car for the 8 hours of driving and getting teased by our friends all day about not wanting to touch birds but this time I stayed home and let Ben, the boys, Lisa and her girls have a day of fun since I had commitment number 2 to tackle.

Since my kid sister Tammy is now a freshman in high school and that means schools dances to attend I had the fun task of getting her ready for homecoming. Normally Tammy is a tomboy and wants very little to do with being a girl, let alone a girly girl so I wasn't sure how this was going to go. We started our adventure by getting dress shoes and a haircut. Then came the fun part- deciding which dress to wear and how to do her hair. 4 dresses and an hour and half of putting curls in she was ready for the dance and I was ready for a nap. The next day report indicated a good time was had by her and her friends and the curls stayed in all night.

Sunday was our last commitment and involved lots of driving. Since Ben had shared the 8 hours of driving the day before and Odin had to be taken to Moses Lake to the Professional Handler who is showing him in 4 upcoming dog shows in Boise next weekend I took one for the team and headed over the mountain with both boys. 6+ hours later our adventure ended with one slightly confused Loki since he wasn't sure he liked not having his friend around the house to play with. Not sure how this week will go for him since he is used to being around Odin all the time but being on his own should be good for him since it will happen once in a while.

We did notice that after three months of having two dogs who like to wrestle nightly our house was very quite since Loki was content to sit in one of our laps while we watched football and relaxed before the start of another busy week.
