My weekend in TurtleLand

Greetings, everyone!

Oh what a busy, busy, busy weekend we had around here!

Wanna' see?

♥

Carrie is out of town for her work convention, so Doug and I are pet sitting our grand-pets. This happy little dog was underfoot all weekend. Say hello to Marcus {aka Sparklett the Dog, or Sparky to me}:

and his "little brother" Kirby. Note that the fur around Kirby's neck is usually wet because when he and Marcus play, Marcus puts his mouth around Kirby's neck. Ugh! It makes me nervous, but Marcus is actually very gentle with Kirby, and I'll be darned if that cat doesn't keep coming back for more.

These two were very entertaining all weekend. And I laughed at Doug for making fun of Marcus with a sing-song-y quip: "Marcus's best friend is a ca-at, Marcus's best friend is a ca-at..."  {Truth be told, Marcus also eats cat food and plays with cat toys. ~sigh~ How embarrassing.}

Yeah...I packed some more. Major packing going on this weekend with Doug even getting in on the gig. Our front room is a kitty-cat-playground. Can you see Whiskers in the mix above?

Our sweet neighbors gave us a bunch of boxes and a couple rolls of bubble wrap a few weeks ago. I baked some thank you treats for them:

Whiskers was not too sure about this little imp running all over the place, and he kept his distance all weekend:

I had lunch with my friend Janae on Friday afternoon. She recently moved to a new home and had a bunch of boxes to pass along, and one of the empty boxes was from a package of diapers {she has twin toddlers, God love her}. I had to laugh at this, courtesy of one of her movers:

I bought a bottle of wine because I liked the label:

Regarding the label:

Doug would say: "Hmph...fitting..."

Carrie would say: "Poor Doug."

I would say: "Whatever, you guys. These are stressful times!"

;o)

So, there you have it. In other news from this weekend, we looked at houses and found one we like. Now we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that the bank accepts our offer - there are four other offers on the same property. How was your weekend?

PS: Thanks for the spaghetti sauce, Carrie. It was delicious dear! xo
