Why is it that you hang out for long weekends, and then they're over before you know it!!? We had double shows this weekend, and Mr Poochie did us proud and managed to obtain Best in Show! The judge was Evelyn Hurley, from Ireland, a lovely lady - she wanted to take Bentley (and one of Bentley's daughters) back home to Ireland, pity she's left, cos I'm sick of him barking at his reflection in the window! He's truely a blonde dog. Sunday was the same thing, only a different judge, Jacqui Weekes, from Australia, but Bentley only managed to get reserve dog, which for him, is a small miracle - he normally misbehaves something wicked on Day 2!! He must be maturing (at last, considering he'll be four this year!!)
I went out yesterday afternoon, after a morning meeting, and brought the girls a thermal top each, and Molly a pair of slippers. Then popped over to get my album for my circle journal that I'm doing with The Scrapbook Outlet. Except, Madame Molly caught sight of it and thought it looked like a handy dandy notebook (from Blue's Clue's) and decided to draw a clue, thankfully in pencil!! So I found another small ringbound book and she's as happy as a clam with her handydandy notebook and some really lame drawings of the characters from Blue's Clues. I've got the cover layed out, not stuck down yet - will probably play around for a bit yet before sticking it all together.
We had Ella come over today, she is from the Robbie White Trust, and is teaching Molly, and us, sign language, which will be fabulous for Molly to be able to have a form of communication other than screaming!! She's having a blast at morning kindy, she was so ready to move up! Tomorrow afternoon we have an assessment with the occupational therapist - more of a follow up I think, to see where she's heading and whether there are improvements. Later in the month, we have a huge meeting with the entire team, to find out where we are really at, and whether there can be a diagnosis for us - not just a whole swag of tentative ones!
OOh, Dunedin had it's first snow of the season yesterday, none for us, but where the meeting was, it was fairly white! Today is lovely - 15 degrees at 2.30pm - hate to think what's coming for that though!! Great scrapping weather!!
