so, yesterday, we had a FULL day! there were too many things to do and not enough time. we have recently started going to two services at church (instead of going to sunday school, coming home and putting nora down, then watching church online). it's been nice. but, yesterday, we also had a christmas concert at 2pm, then another christmas party. we decided to get a baby-sitter for nora, but that still left us about 5 minutes at home to drop nora off, get lunch, turn around and get back to the concert. so, after some discussion, we decided to leave after first service. we stopped and picked up some food, and as we walked up to the house, i could hear the smoke detector going off. i was pretty sure it was our house!
we opened the door and were met with smoke! great.... sadie had managed to knock something onto the stove, then proceed to turn the stove on! thank goodness (thank God!) we came home when we did. so, now our house smells a little like burnt popcorn!
all that aside, i have to comment that the christmas tree was UNTOUCHED!! as was nora's teddy bear sitting on the floor. but, the stove... don't ask me to explain! we can't figure out a pattern! i had just been thinking that sadie was doing so well, and maybe we were making improvement!
however, nora LOVES her dog. maybe she can sense that we were less than happy with sadie, but all morning, she has been hugging and snuggling to her dog, unprompted! it's so sweet. she just wants to hug and hug.
also, i don't ever have to sweep the floor when nora is done eating! it's wonderful!!! that being said, sadie is a WONDERFUL dog when we are home. david has REALLY trained her well... i know this sounds like an oxymoron, but she is so well behaved when we are around... and we are trying to rectify the problem of when we are gone!!!
