Winding Down

The day is winding down and over all it has been pretty good. Kieran is off to never never land, Sadie has joined him, Mady stayed the night again and has gone off to watch some television before she knots off and Steff is pushing our buttons. She has the worse sleep habits I've ever seen. She has to fall asleep anywhere but her room. She usually chooses the kitchen but for the past two nights she came and laid in the living room and dozed off. Not tonight though, she's chosen the kitchen.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to get Rexy. I read up on Chihuahua's a little and found out they can be hard to train but that paper training them is the easiest way. We'll see. The info I read also stated they need positive reinforcement and not harshness to learn to use the potty right. I talk to Mareesa and she said they have been trying to paper train the puppies so that should give him a start in the right direction since I read paper training is the best way to do it. I hope he gets well potty trained. There is almost nothing worse than a dog that isn't house trained and I don't know if I can handle a non-house trained animal. Poop and pee all over our house just isn't going to fly.
The kids played well together tonight. It was nice to see Mady and Nick get along and sad as it is, they kinda ganged up on Kieran. He handled it pretty well though. He's still done an excellent job of taking care of his turtle, which is now named "Princess" because we informed him we think it's a girl. He didn't seem to mind though. Good kid.
I'm just looking for things to do before Ryan and I head off to bed. He's playing a video game and I have backed up all my picture files and printed some pictures and addressed cards and so on and so on, now I'm just looking for things to do. I think I'll get off the blog since this is the third or so today and find something a little more productive to do.
