jinglin' for attention

first day of december and 81' wow. i wanted to wear my sweatpants and a long sleeved t, but it was much too warm out. we went out to the dog park here at the apt, and the boys were unimpressed...they just sat around and looked at me. there were no other dogs there, and so we started walking again.

we are not very excited about the complex decision to plant these trees. whoever made this choice did not have pets.

these stupid trees are everywhere around here. what a nuisance!

 then these things are laying around everywhere!and they get all caught up and tangled into the boys' fur.

our nemesis

i sneaked over to target this morning because i needed some boots, and a few other items...but the one thing i was hoping to find was not there anymore. once upon a time, they had this awesome coffee table list book for friends to fill in and i should've gotten it then! boo.

but we did see some other fun things that we avoided, but thought were fun:

he cost WAY more than he should've!

i LOVED this! the only problem is that this guy would be difficult to clean after mixing batter

and these rice krispie treats-amazing solution! they come in sheets! who knew!?

 i did not finish all that i planned today, but i suppose that's ok.

tonight we did get down to vitruvian park to see the lights.

the lights were beautiful!!

the choir was wonderful

getting the boys to pose was difficult-they kept getting so distracted!

 the boys jingled all the way...and that got attention! so they were happy..in fact, on the way home, chaco asked if they could wear the jingle collars more often! smile. they did get several comments tonight, so they felt pretty good about themselves.

it really was pretty, and the music was great, and there were a few food trucks out and a few local vendors in outdoor tents, so it was a festive atmosphere- if you live nearby, it's a nice little evening. it'd be even better if they had people dressed like dickens characters, wandering around caroling to people around the park...i mean, they would've been sweating up a storm tonight, but it would've been really cool! by the time i got home i was sweating and i had my lightweight cabell jacket on. amazing weather!

so if you want a little attention this holiday season, wear your jingle collar!
