Yes, it's true, she ate almost an entire strawberry-rhubarb pie that I made for my friend Shawn's birthday! He had a piece the night before at a party we were at for work. I was going to bring it to work Tuesday, but forgot it at home.Here's the best part; Bug was locked in her crate when the hubby left for work and the pie was in 
my Longaberger cake taker basket on the counter, with the lid on. Bug somehow got out of the crate, and pulled the extremely heavy basket off of the counter, keeping it upright. How it didn't flip, I couldn't tell you. Then she got the lid off of the basket, took out the wooden riser that was over the pie, and went to town on the pie. I know Daisy also had pie, because I smelled her snout, and she smelled of strawberries! The pie plate was still in the basket, on the kitchen floor, when I got home from work. I'm not sure why they didn't eat the whole pie, maybe it was too tart. I think I may be a tad offended that they didn't finish it off. Is it a commentary on my pie do you think? Who knows what goes on in the Bug brain.
The two of them sucked up to me all night looking for attention, but I gave them the cold shoulder. They were out of the pack for eating my pie. I don't really think Bug cares though. For her, any ramifications are worth it as long as she gets food!

"dog days" sale. Daisy won the most lovable dog contest! Bug came in second for cutest dog, but her picture wasn't one of her best. She was hot and panting when they took it. These aren't the pictures from the contest, but they are cute and lovable, aren't they? I guess I'll have to forgive them for the pie.I need to start training Robbie, so he can go out with us too. I'm just petrified that he'll get off the leash and be gone before I can blink. At least if he gets out at home, he always goes to the lake in our neighborhood and I can usually get him back at dinner time. He'd be gone forever if he got loose somewhere else. He listens pretty well to me already, especially considering that I haven't given him any formal training, but if he were off leash, I'm positive he wouldn't listen.
I had my friend Donna's 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son for a few days last week, so I'm
behind on my quilting projects. We had some fabric fun though! We tie-dyed shirts, bags and flannel fabrics. I had Anna and Ryan each pick out some flannel fabrics from my fabric stash, then we tie-dyed the white flannel to coordinate with their choices. The results were very indicative of both their personalities and ages. Anna's was more restrained, so as to not make a mess with the dye, so she has a lot of white showing. Ryan's was fully saturated with dye. He squeezed the bottle until it was empty. They also enjoyed figuring out what colors become when you combine them. Everything turned out very well. Now I need to make the blankets out of the fabrics.
The three of us also drove out to Tammy Tadd's quilt shop for some thread.
Ryan was a bit disappointed that there weren't very many "boy fabrics." Anna really liked it though. It's so bright and happy, how could she not! I let the kids pick out some fabrics to make pillow cases. Anna picked out some lovely fabrics from the "Chocolate Lollipop" line by Anna Marie Horner. She really has sophisticated taste for a 6 year old. She also skipped recess one day a week in kindergarten last year to take sewing! That's my girl! I pointed Ryan toward the surf board fabrics, and he really liked those, so we got him surfer fabric. They both did a good job of auditioning and coordinating fabrics. I only made a couple of suggestions on accent fabrics. Add pillow cases to my to-do list for this week!
The best part was at the checkout. They give everyone a free 5" charm square of fabric. Anna chose hot pink stripes and Ryan chose bright lime green. Those squares provided hours of entertainment! It was absolutely hysterical! They talked about, invented games with and carried around their fabric the rest of the day. I couldn't believe it. Ryan even brought his into the grocery store with us.

I think one of the funniest things that happened with them was when I was helping Ryan wash his hair and he started singing "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair, I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair and send him on his waaayyyy!" I totally cracked up!! The dogs really liked having the kids here too. The kids decided that Robbie looks like Scooby Doo, Bug looks like a wolf, and Daisy is silly, which she is.
