Happy Monday

Today is a great day! Started my morning off with a walk through the neighborhood with my husband, toddler and two dogs.

 It was very entertaining taking the toddler and two dogs. Here is a mental picture for you. One dog is a Rhodesian Ridge-back, Boston, and full of energy so he staying in front the whole time. I actually think he has too much energy. He is constantly running in circles and into the woods then out and back in and behind us then back in front. He could run all day i think.

Then there is wrigley (wiggles) . Oh wrigley..... Wrigley is a great dane that weighs about 200 lbs. He is solid black with a white star on his chest and a few white spots on his toes.  He is the biggest, laziest, whiny-est baby you will ever meet. During our walk he is always walking by your side if not behind you. If he feels you are going too fast he gets in front of you and tries to slow you down while his tongue is hanging out his mouth and he is breathing extremely hard. He will trot to get in front then stop to turn around and look at you, while being completely in the way of the stroller or person walking. When you try to move him out of the way he whines and whimpers. If it were up to wrigley he would spend his mornings laying on the couch relaxing and sleeping. (wrigley is still sort of a puppy- only 3)

Please don't make me get off the couch!

So as we continue on with this walk i stopped to grab a stick to hopefully keep wrigley out of my way and to poke him if he got to slow. See, another thing about wrigley is that he loves attention, any kind at all. My idea of poking him with the stick to get him to move or to scare him out of the way backfired. Wrigley was just happy to be touched, even if it was just a stick. Now what!? So long story short, i got more of a workout trying to get wrigley out of the way or keep him from leaning on me while walking up the hill, the whole time while my toddler is giggling in hysterics. She thinks the dogs are the funniest things ever.

Now as my day goes on i sit at work sipping on my mango smoothie, my fav! Along with some watermelon gum which makes me think of summer. I am searching for toddler birthday ideas for Tallyn and yummy dinner recipes for tonight. I think i am going to make a cheesy chicken dish a friend told me about once. Ill post pics tomorrow if it is a success..... In comes my husband with a handful of papers and a huge smile because he knows i know he is up to something and i have to help. So of course i get a list of things to do for him. ( The joys of being a restaurant owners wife.)

Now, moving on to my evening i am extremely excited to watch the final season of the bachelor. I really hope he picks Emily and if he does not then i want her to be the next bachelorette! Emily is such a sweetheart how could america not love her? Plus she's from NC! Go Emily!

Thats all for today! Happy Monday
