random thoughts ....

well i decided to take the time to play around with my blog online as ron is at work and the youngest 2 boys are at mothers for the full weekend. of course im also planning on catching up on some much needed sleep.
i dont know what it is but owen has been a monster to keep to sleep at night, ive tried everything.. gas meds, meds for his teething, bottle, bowl of cereal with fruit, less naps in the late afternoon etc etc etc.. but for some reason lately he has been up seems just as soon as i crawl into bed and he does NOT want to go back to sleep until some O'dark hundred hour in the morning. than me having to be up at 6am with the bigger boys .. ah its a mess but im determined to figure out the cause. i know there are some things that he cant help. for some reason teething seems to be the worst on him compared to how i remember the other 2 going threw it. but its the nights where he just wants to play.. yep play at 2am that will drive you a bit on the crazy side *lol*
i will admit that if i never get a full nights rest again owen is more than worth it.

had to run to the store tonight and pick up a few things.. got clyde on a new puppy food.. thankfully we have a local well semi local pet smart now. makes finding food for a large breed puppy much easier. not that feeding him is any cheaper but a big bag normally lasts about a month.. which for now isnt bad. hes been better behaved lately not that he is ever a bad boy because for the most part he is the laziest thing you will ever meet.. the bull mastiff breed by nature is a very lazy dog.. but we have had our share of *puppy issues* like his excitement when he sees the boys after school.. were still working on whos the *pack leader* and who is where in line. but are working on that. i think our biggest problem comes to friends and family who stop by. when they walk in the door they are told to ignore him .. we dont want him to be so over excited that he gets out of hand.. train him now you know? but man alive people just wont listen.. its like my mom for example.. i say *ignore him* and what does she do? looks at him.. uh no.. dont make eye contact.. just pretend he isnt even here. so she does.. but she lets him chew on her fingers.. uh wrong answer.. we dont let him do that.. its a big no no..
sometimes i think we need to train the company more so than the pup...

its hard to believe that school is ending so soon. wyatt has his last field trip of the year this coming week and than the next week is the last week of school. on the last day for wyatt is his school picnic and than thats it... not sure what all is planned for lil rons school or what they do them last 2 weeks. both boys already have there year books and both have been signed.
at the high school in the begining of the year all of the kids are given a school shirt. well little ron wore his to school today and had kids sign it as well.. which i thought was a cool idea.
