Dog Park

We took Mitchell and Tex to the Shawnee Mission Lake Dog Park this past weekend. I'm not sure who had more fun....

It was a BEAUTIFUL morning, and strolling through the dog park was a wonderful way to spend it!


Mitchell enjoyed pointing out the "Big Dogs" vs. the "Little Dogs".


And as always, Daddy is sure to spark a giggle from the little man.


On an unrealated note, I've been battling insomnia lately. I have no idea why and honestly think it's Gods way of slowing starting to prepare me for the sleepless nights ahead! It's funny how I literally COULD NOT get enough sleep the first few months, and now I can't make myself sleep. I have no problem getting to sleep, but then wake at 3am or 4am with my mind racing through to do lists. Rather than doing anything remotely productive this early morning, I decided to buy Mitchell some Christmas books on Ebay. I bought him 25 Christmas books and am going to wrap them up individually and put them under the tree and allow him to open one each day...our own version of an Advent calendar. I hope he'll love it :)

What a great idea for Advent--you're so creative!

I LOVE your books idea! Are you going to put 25 out and label them (like the dates on the calendar) so you see the stack get smaller and smaller? Or will you get a new one out every day. I like the stack idea!

I always imagined having Rachel and a kiddo out at Shawnee Mission dog park! There are dog parks around here, so I guess I'll have to find a substitute. We always loved going there though!

And sorry about your insomnia! I don't remember if I had insomnia, or if I was just always having to get up to use the bathroom every hour for 9 months . . . it's really hard to turn your racing mind off though.

That's an awesome book idea!! Who wouldn't love opening up 25 gifts BEFORE Christmas???

Sorry to hear about that insomnia -that stinks! The same exact thing happened to me with my 2nd pregnancy. I can't remember how long it lasted, I think it was later replaced with more nightly bathroom trips. Hang in there!
