Dynamite Strike

Today was meet the teacher at school and the kids are excited about their teachers as well as the kids in their classes. I think they got good matches for their personalities, at least I hope. This will be Kynlee's last year at the elementary school. Next year she'll be off to the intermediate school. Wow, how time flies. Right now I'm just thinking about 1st grade and 4th grade. That's enough for the heart to take. You always hear how fast they grow up and often get tired of it so for now I'm enjoying my little ones while their still "little".

Our new little puppy, well let's just say she's full of dynamite (hence the title of this post). I keep telling myself that eventually she'll be potty trained and that seems to help. Since we live in the country and on plenty of land it's been hard to keep up with her lately. When we go outside she usually does fine sticking close by, but lately she's finding that there are lots of other places to go. Of course she discovers this in the rain and with plenty of mud to go with it. Only weighing three and half pounds she's pretty fast and well, her minding skills, we're still training on those too. Needless to say, we need a fence. This is the only way to keep the dogs in the confined area we think they need to be in. I think this will save our sanity. For now, she's on a leash, at least while muddy outside. In the meantime we'll be checking out our fence possibilities. I'll let you know how it comes along. Keep your fingers crossed that it's sooner than later.

I hope everyone has loved watching the Olympics as much as we have. We are a little sleep deprived as I'm sure other followers are too. We're hoping to start catching up soon. If you have been watching the gymnastics I hope you all agree that the judging this year was not up to par. They need to work on that for London 2012. Overall we've enjoyed the competition and last nights beach volleyball win was great. May and Walsh did the US proud! I'll report back after school starts with some new pics!
