Family Night

Jaime volunteered to have family night at my house every Monday. I don't mind being volunteered for the cooking as it's nice to have some visitors in the house. I made a simple dinner, just some chicken with cheesy potatoes and veggies, and of course some brownies for dessert (which I'm going to dive back into). It was nice to have them over and to visit-helps make the evenings go back quicker. Although, I don't think Jaime is real fond of Benny, he still is excited and jumps when people come in the door. It's a process to train him and it a little bit slower going since there aren't a ton of visitors that come over. He's gotten pretty good with me, that or my tolerance is higher. I love to see my little Lucas too. We watched Chicken Little, which he's never seen before and seemed to like it.

Other than that things are going. Benny woke up in the middle of the night last night and puked in the bed. Not sure why but he seems fine. I don't know what it is with my dogs puking. It makes me wonder what they might be getting from the neighborhood kids. So that was lovely, but I'm used to dog vomit (not usually in my bed) and so it doesn't faze me too much.

I also finished up the paintings I did for the baby's room. They turned out okay. I think it will be nice to add a little bit of color to the walls. My projects around the house will probably be put on a temporary hold. I start my 2-week training tomorrow, so I'll be working up at Camp Atterbury each day. I feel like I have a pretty good start on the house projects so far and will continue them next month. It feels good to have a start on things.

You crack me up! I can volunteer to have family night at our house and we can cook - that just means you driving down each week! Plus we thought it would be easier for Jeremy to mow the yard after work.
And it's not that I'm not fond of your dog - I would feel that way for any animal that hurts my kid! :)
The first time your dogs jump on your baby, you'll feel the same way! Although you should be just as upset since Lucas is your nephew! LOL
