So everybody has their own version of a superhero...there's Superman, Underdog, Whataburger Boy! Of course, able to suck down a large sprite in 20 seconds and eat a man-size portion of greasy fries all while wearing his supercape and oh so hip- super whataburger spectacles.

Man this kid cracks me up!

The whole house is bustling with excitement today...all for different reasons. Firstly, it's the weekend. We finally received our Playmobil shipment of the Romans and the Coliseum. This is a huge deal if you're into Playmobil. I mean,how many kids have their own beasts vs. the Christians play scenarios??? Of course you all do.

Eleanor, the newest member of our furry family finally gets to go home with us today. She is a little Australian Shepherd puppy that was rescued from some loser that threw her and her sister out in a box behind WalMart a few weeks ago. They were only 1 or 2 weeks old. A Rescue Agency has been fostering her. http://members.petfinder.com/~TX445/ The sister died and Eleanor has struggled but she is finally well enough and our family was chosen to be her new "forever family." I love that.

And....if that wasn't enough, the glorious Donna Downey http://donnadowney.typepad.com/ is in town at my LSS and teaching a few classes. We "cropped" last night and shared a cold Whataburger meal so I thought this little picture was appropriate. I plan to get by today for a few pics and say hello again. And then my old college roommate and friend and her two little ones are coming to visit. So there will be a little wine flowing and lots of chat of the good ol'e days and reminiscing about those non-mother years.

Ciao for now! We're off to dispose of a mole that was apparently murdered in our yard yesterday. Ahhh, life in the burbs.
