Hello everyone! How are you? Today I am okay. Mom had to take Friday off to go to a doctor’s appointment, so while she’s still pretty tired, we can stay up later!
Mom went to the thrift store today. She usually finds some pretty cool things. This time she found some cool books, a tiny ceramic dog, a tiny piece of a dolly tea set, and another jar of buttons. I think I like the little doggy the best. Mom says that the dog is the right size to live in the dollhouse. He or she will join the bulldog that Mom found a few weeks ago!
Do any of you like to go thrift store shopping? It’s one of Mom’s favorite things to do! She likes St. Vincent’s and Goodwill. Do you have any good thrift stores where you live?
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Mom is tired (again) so we are all ready for bed now. She is glad to not be picking any more, but she has to work extra hours because it’s Christmas. There’s only a few weeks left, so it’ll get better soon.

Mom doesn’t really get into the Christmas spirit, but Grandma does—so we have lots of Christmas decorations here. This is one of the little trees. (Mom took this picture during the day, so the lights don’t show up as well as they could.)
Do you like Christmas decorations? I like the lights the most. I’ll share a few more pictures of the other trees later—they’re all very pretty!
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. We have had a pretty quiet week. Mom is back in the embroidery department at her not-retail job. It is Christmas season, and they want her to work ten hour days. She says that she is trying to focus on the overtime, but it is a long day. She doesn’t get an half hour lunch (just a ten and fifteen minute break) so she doesn’t get to come out and see us all day. I understand, but it makes me feel kind of sad.

I do have a little figure Mom bought me to show you. It’s a Funko Pop keychain Mickey Mouse. I thought it was pretty much a Funko Pop that was my size. I think it’s pretty great!
Talk to you next week!

November 23rd, 2018

Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Mom got moved back to a quieter place at her not-retail job, so she’s been a lot calmer. She’s just not suited for loud places!
This Monday, Mom, Oliver, and Caleb went to the mall to meet Santa. The people who take the pictures realize that dogs really don’t want to be in the mall, so it is a really quick process. Oliver especially didn’t like the other dogs—one of them kind of dived at him and it made him very nervous. But they’ve been going since he was a little puppy, so Mom wanted to go again. So here is Mom and Oliver with Santa!

Mom really doesn’t want to be a part of the picture, but there is no way Oliver will stay seated on the bench with Santa unless she sits with them! (He was READY TO GO even in the picture!)
Afterward, Mom went to Burger King for supper, and he got to bark at people in the parking lot as a reward. He seemed to recover pretty quickly, so he must’ve forgiven her!
Do any of you visit Santa? Mom says that maybe when Graham is a little older, Mom can ask him to bring me up to Santa and we all can have our picture taken!
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. It’s been pretty cold here lately, so we haven’t done a lot of exploring. It’s a mad dash from the house to the car and back again! Mom says that in the spring, we will think that 22 degree weather is warm, but it’s certainly not now.

At the retail job, Mom discovered that they sell these little tiny cars. They’re some kind of Shopkin, which honestly I think is a bit creepy—I’m not sure if I really want to think that my food container is alive. Mom just likes small things, so we have one now! What do you think? Do any of you collect Shopkins?

Talk to you next week!

November 9th, 2018

Hello everyone! How are you? I am fine, but Mom had a bad day at work, so we are going to go to bed soon. I am doing my best to keep her happy, and a good night’s sleep will help!

I thought I would give you a little puppy picture today. He is also doing his part to make Mom happier. This picture is from a few days ago when Mom’s parents took him for a walk. He had a lot of fun. He loves to sniff things.
I will write more next week. I hope you have a great day!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am a very tired camper! When I’m writing this, it’s almost our bedtime! But I wanted to write my entry before I have to go to bed!

Mom, Graham, Caleb (in her purse), and her sister went out trick or treating on Sunday! Graham didn’t dress up, but he had a lot of fun.

They walked around for probably an hour or so. He ended up with probably twenty pieces of candy. Have any of you ever went trick or treating? I’ve decided that I have to go next year, even if it’s just in Mom’s backpack!
Talk to you next week!
