It's Hay, just after her Girl Scouts meeting tonight. Someone came in and did origami for the girls. I told her to sniff the flower she had and she complied.

After the night we had tonight, I wanted to post a picture of the day we had today. The family and I met some of Haley's friends at the Burke Museum on the UW campus. There was a rocks & geology event for the Girl Scouts so we went to check that out.

Unfortunately, cameras aren't allowed in the museum in order to "protect" their exhibits. Even so, I took some pictures (but not of exhibits!) inside, but none of them were super fabulous. Plus, our evening was pretty frustrating due to a 7 year old's tired outbursts, so it's the feet of that 7 year old that you see here.

Her friend Erin was next to her, but scooted out of frame before I could get the shot. I would've liked to have had a slower shutter so I could get Hay's legs in motion a little, but I'm pretty sure you can picture them swinging in your mind.

What a nice day today! I took Bella for a walk and had the camera in tow. I took some pictures of things around the neighborhood and didn't come up with anything fabulous, though I did like this fire hydrant. I had a horizontal shot I liked better, but I cut the bottom off. It was tough holding a pulling dog in one hand and a camera steady in the other.

It was such a nice day we took Bella out twice. Sold some Girl Scout cookies with Haley. Hit our local Blockbuster that is going out of business. I went to Lund Bros. practice and worked on our tunes.

Then Bella went and ruined it all tonight by eating her poop. Again.

We can't figure her out. She's pretty much a great dog 99.99% of the time, though she has gotten really annoying with wanting to go out every hour or so. She'll pee and then goof around and get some air. Tonight, I decided to let her out with her neck lamp. Usually when I do that, if I call her as soon as she's done with #2, she bolts home. I couldn't tell tonight and when she came back to the deck, she was licking her lips, a telltale sign.

I took a whiff. Yup. Poo breath.

Anyway, I'll spare you the rest. Happy MLK Day!
