1. Sunscreen!

I am having problems remembering to apply sunscreen to Thing 1′s face before school.  This is really inexcusable!  Her class had a field trip today to a local pumpkin patch and her face is now the color of her hot pink vest.  It’s remains quite warm here and the sun is still very strong.  I should not have such a hard time remembering sunscreen!  Every day!  They play outside three different times….I won’t repeat this failure.

2. Puppy Training!

For some reason, I thought I’d train Clifford to jump over my leg this morning (my right leg as it was extended from sitting on the couch to the ottoman).  You know, like the dogs do in agility courses, which we hope Thing 1 will one day be able to do with Clifford via 4H.

Only my other leg was in the sitting position, on Clifford’s starting side.  And he is still a very uncoordinated, gangly, bony puppy.  As he jumped the last time, his back legs hit my left knee.  Ouch!  I told daddy about this experience this evening, touched the spot and noticed it was sore.  He left a bruise!  Holy dog!!
