  1. Ah, the life. This kind of has a Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein flavor!

  2. Especially love the parts about the good sofa and sneaking out the front door! Sounds just like our DD2's dog!

  3. I want to hear the cat's version. Although I am a bit behind, you may have already done that...

I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
