Announcing....

I'm not quite sure where he has gotten it from, but Cookie Monster has started to announce when people do something in our home. This afternoon, he was announcing when I was cleaning. I wish that made me more excited to pick up the bag of garbage that accumulated in the Princess's "preschool" that has taken over our playroom/computer area. But I can't say it made a difference. If anything, it just helped me be a little less irritated that Cookie Monster was dragging out 3 toys for every 1 I picked up.
Last night at swimming, he climbed to the top of the slide and shouted, "Announcing (Cookie Monster)!" before he slid down. He cracks me up. I mean, "crackin."
Recently, when it was time to get a job done he announced "Let's get crackin'!"
Yes, Cookie Monster, let's get crackin' and clean this home.

No Heartworm Here

I guess we can rest assured tonight that there will be no heartworm in our home -- at least not in our little LaRue. Since she decided to eat one of our little Lily's heartworm pills, we can be sure that there will be no worms in her little body. Once I heard, "You ate what?" from dad's mouth, I knew there was a problem. Somehow, she or Cookie Monster got the pack of pills down from the cupboard and cut one open. Cookie Monster said he did NOT cut the package open, but I wonder when LaRue miraculously learned to cut a straight line???
Anyhow, we promptly called poison control. The kind lady was very helpful, but her inquiry into our last name at the end of the call made me shake my head.
"We need your last name and zip code so we can log the call." I should've said "Smith" or "Jones," but I was honest. Now I just wonder when the authorities will be knocking on our door, asking who is watching our kids.....
