We Are Winners

By now we're sure everyone knows that we were fish bowl draw winners for sweet William's Name That Song contest.  We are so very psyched!

The parcel arrived in the mail yesterday.

 This was on the top once mom cut the tape and opened up the box flaps.    Yes, William, she did make herself a cup of tea and it was delicious  :-)

 Peanut Butter treats!

 They are so yummy!

 Sorry about swallowing your fingers, mom.  OOPS!

 Godiva chocolates?
Mom uttered the words "In your dreams, guys!"
I think this means she's not sharing any with us!

 A rope ball!  Both of us LOVE rope toys and Molly loves to play ball more than anything!

 You sure do know what pups like, William. Thank you so much!

 Mom says that this is one of the most gorgeous totes she's ever seen!  It was handmade by sweet William's mom and it's to-die-for beautiful!  The little red rosebuds on the lady's skirt are so pretty!   Mom says she will only carry this on very special occasions!

 And sweet William also sent us wind chimes!  How did he know that our mom adores wind chimes and says that no yard can ever have too much music!  These wind chimes have batteries in them and a red spotlight is shining down on the beautiful cardinal.  They're staying inside our house for the winter so we can enjoy them and mom can swing them every time she comes down the stairs.  They are fabulous!

Thank you so very much for our box full of wonderful goodies, William!  We feel like the luckiest winners ever!

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

The Dollhouse

We have posted about the dollhouse before but we realize that many of our new friends have never seen it and it is truly a work of art - especially when it's clean!  Mom has been cleaning it and dusting it and it REALLY needed it badly!
What were we doing while the cleaning process was going on?
Supervising, of course!

 The dollhouse was made by our gram and gramp many years ago.  It used to live at gram's house but when they made their final move from their home to senior living our mom inherited it. 
The dollhouse is a little over 5 feet long so it takes up a nice chunk of wall in our family room.

Starting with the upstairs, this is one of the bedrooms.

 The nursery~

 The chapel~

 Another bedroom.  Notice the furkid on the bed!

 The sewing room~

 And on first floor - the game room~

 The music room~

 The downstairs hallway - nope, no staircase in this house. 

 The dining room~

 And mom's favorite room - the kitchen!

After mom got it all cleaned up, she covered it so it would stay clean but she's not sure that she likes the way it looks.  It seems more impersonal - you can't "really" look inside and you can't touch anything.

But for now it will stay this way.
We hope you've enjoyed seeing our gram and gramp's beautiful project.  Our mom sure does love living with it!

So until next time.......

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

Trimming Hedges in the Snow

Guess what we were supervising today?  The trimming of our hedges in the snow!  That's definitely a first! Mom and dad had to shovel snow out of the way so that the staging could be moved in next to the hedges. It makes the job easier for dad, who handles the hedge trimmer and the pole saw.  Mom does the raking of the leaves and hemlock clippings.

We still have enough snow to have a little bit of fun!

 Mom took a break and tossed Molly a snowball! Good catch, Molly!

 And I got one tossed my way too!

 Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer than today so I don't think our snow will be around a whole lot longer.  Bummer!

So until next time.............

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

TuckButtRun Thursday

We got almost a foot of snow over night!

 And I couldn't wait for mom to clip on my lunge line so that I could twirl and spin and tuckbuttrun and have fun, fun, fun in the snow!  I sure do love this stuff!

Here I come - ready or not!

Did you know that snow is very cooling to rest on?
And did you know that it tastes cold and yummy!

The duckies aren't seeming to mind it at all!

 Mitch loves to bury his nose in the snow and "plow" it!  It's his most favorite thing to do in the snow~

It was 40 degrees today and we lost a little bit of our beautiful snow but not enough to keep us from having tons of fun!

It's still autumn and it's only November.  Hopefully, winter this year will bring us lots more snow!   I can't wait!

So until next time........

Love ya lots,
Molly

November Nor'Easter

We are getting hammered with blizzard snow right now.
It's the first time that Molly has ever seen snow!
She slid off the back porch but that's because she always moves at 87 miles per hour!

 Wanna play, Molly?!

 Please don't stop!    Keep it coming, snowGods!

So until next time...........

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

A Trip To Lenny and Joe's

We worked outside all day supervising the trimming of the hedges. 
At 3PM, dad announced that we were heading to Lenny and Joe's for scallop rolls!

 We shared the coleslaw~

 And we got french fries!

 That was fun, dad!

We'll help supervise anytime you need us to with treats like that!

So until next time............

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

Supervising StormSandy Clean-up

Mom and dad are working in the yard cutting up the huge branch and StormSandy snapped and dropped out of the tree on Monday.

Molly and I are supervising to make sure there aren't too many breaks happening. We need to get this job done so we can move onto others that need doing. 

We're really keeping them on their toes, aren't we, Molly!

 Good job, Molly!

 And then I happened to glance over and discovered this~

 And then I spied her underneath the hedges. 

What happened to the great job you were doing, Molly?!  
So much for finding decent help these days~

So until next time..........

Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
