Staple Items in this Pregnant Wife's Kitchen!

I was doing pretty good last year not having junk food around the house, but now that I'm pregnant, it's a whole new ball game! This has been my favorite treat lately. Kurt was out of town last week helping his mom, which left me home alone every night with this....

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! And I didn't have to share with anyone either. I was in heaven. Nothing like ending a long day w/ my feet propped up and a nice yummy bowl of ice cream and oreos. What more could I ask for? I did miss Kurt though. Even though he was only gone for a few days, it made me realize just how lucky I am to have him around every day. It also made me appreciate all the things he does around the house since I had to take care of everything while he was away. I guess I've been spoiled :)

My parents were out of town last week as well and left me with one of their puppies (my brother took the other). I had forgotten what it was like having a puppy around. She's 6 months old (Bailee is almost 6 years). This little puppy was cracking me up all week. She's a little stinker. If it wasn't tied down, she carried it all around the house and ended up taking everything out the dog door and into the backyard, including toys, kitchen rugs, dog beds, etc. She's too funny.

One day they decided to bring sticks into the house! We have a small fire pit in the backyard and have small logs piled up on the side of the house. Bailee has NEVER touched these logs. Apparently the puppy helped talk her into it because they were both running around the house chewing these up as if they were bones.

I was picking up after them all week.

Bailee ended up stealing everything from the puppy and tried to hide upstairs. That little puppy always wanted to play and ended up finding her wherever she tried to hide. Let's just say it was an interesting week.

I'm glad things are back to normal now!
