Fair Warning...
If you kiss Anders, then you have kissed Fritz.
This is a sight I see several times a day. While it looks like Anders is trying to eat or bite Fritz he is actually wanting a kiss. Fritz is happy to oblige. I find this extremely gross. But, at the same time, it is sweet. The boys love their dog.

The Tales of John
I have to admit I'm not ready to laugh about this incident yet. And it happened over a week ago. I know someday I will laugh.
Sometime last week I was being yelled at from the basement. When I went to the door to yell back and say "Don't Yell!" I saw a good sized hole in the wall right at the bottom of the stairs. I honestly didn't blame my children first, which is a first. I was quickly trying to remember if we had just moved any pieces of furniture down there....no. Then, since the hole was in the area where Fritz stays while we are gone I thought maybe he did it. I decided to ask John if he knew anything about it. I called the boys over and pointed to the hole.
"Do you know what happened here?"
Gus immediately became enthralled with the hole, my first sign he had nothing to do with the hole getting there. (But most assuredly he will have something to do with the hole getting bigger.) I then looked at John.
"Do you know?"
He immediately looked to the floor and the tears started. "Yes."
"Well, what happened? Were you angry and decided to kick the wall?"
"No, I just wanted to see what was behind it."
"You weren't mad?"
"No, I did it quietly and calmly. You didn't even hear me and you were right upstairs."
The end of this story is that John now knows he need to ask before destroying things and, in the next few days, he will learn how to repair drywall. Repairing drywall is a very useful skill to have, so I don't feel bad about this at all.
Oh- and my prediction was correct. Between Fritz, Gus and Anders, the hole has gotten bigger.

Jimmy
I realized when I was looking through my pictures that I don't have any of my cousin Ericka. I plan to remedy that the next time I see her. I had a good time trying to get pictures of Jimmy because he hates having his picture taken.
He was refusing to pose for a picture so I waited outside the basement door to snap some pics.
I'm not sure what Aunt Diane is saying, but I love the look Jimmy is giving her.
And, because I keep snapping photos, I too am getting the look.
Jimmy just refused to pose with his mom.
What a stinker!
Next time I will focus my efforts on those who want their picture taken....I'm talking to you, Ericka.
