It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Mom has started with a little Christmas magic by putting up the trees. Decorations to happen this weekend. I got a new tree and I love it. By the way, we just redid my bedroom and I love it! I will have to take photos and blog them soon!
Love,

Happy Halloween
I was Maverick and Willow was Goose for Halloween this year. We had a party and all my friends came over for snacks, drinks, games and a fire pit. We started at our house and then went trick or treating together. We came back for food and a break and then went out again to finish the night. It was an awesome Halloween!

Road Trip
I had off school last week and mom took off work. We drive all the way to Bethany, MO (1 hour and 45 minutes) to get a half of a Christmas tree. You heard that right. It is a long story. Mom bought a new 12' Christmas tree from Walmart on an amazing deal. When it arrived it only came with 1 box when it was supposed to come with 2. Turns out this happened to thousands of other people and Walmart was now sold out of the tree. Mom worked some magic and found a woman who lived an hour and 45 minutes away who would sell her her half of a tree for $140 (the price of the tree). Since mom got her money back from Walmart but was able to keep her half of the tree we drove and picked it up!!
It was fun to take a road trip and catch up along the way. Mom was also so excited about her deal!

Taylor's birthday party
We had a really fun time celebrating Taylor's 13th birthday. We went to the Louisburg Cider Mill and played outside and then went to dinner and back to her house to hang. It is always so much fun to be with my friends. I have such a good group of girls I hang out with!
Love,

Happy Birthday Papa!
We had a fun garage birthday celebration for Papa last week. Everyone was able to get together and we had so much fun playing outside and introducing everyone to Olive as we celebrated Papa! We love you, Papa!

More puppy fun
Olive is adjusting well to the her new life and Mia is working on getting adjusted to Olive! Olive loves exploring, bugging Mia, playing with Mia, barking, pottying all over the house, playing with her babies, snuggling and laying in her dog bed next to mom when mom works. She does not like her kennel or being alone and will scream and cry to let you know it.
She is sleeping in mom and dad's bed and is even sleeping through the night most nights. She and Mia really do love to play with each other and they will chase each other around the house and around the back yard. They also love to play tug of war with their babies. Mia will drop a baby right away if Olive goes for it....Olive seems to always win.
Love,

WE GOT A PUPPY!
Dad and I have talked about getting another dog forever, but mom has always just laughed us off. For some amazingly crazy reason she decided we should get a dog and we did!!
Mom found a white miniature schnauzer puppy on a puppy website she follows and she called to ask about it. It had a heart murmur so dad said he didn't think it was a good idea. I could not believe mom was interested enough to even make the call! Later that night she looked up the place we got Mia and they had miniature schnauzer puppies! They had a facebook live video post and we got to see the adorable puppies up close!
I then started to work up a plan on how to convince dad. I counted all my money from the sale of my stuff on marketplace and had enough to buy one. The next day after school I came up and was ready to convince Dad. I started my convincing story and he stopped me in my tracks....I got teary eyed as I thought my chances were done. Then mom handed me her phone and told me to pick one of the 3 adorable puppies on her phone. I was so confused, but then realized she meant that her and dad agreed to get a puppy and I cried even more!
We got up super early Saturday and drove the 3.5 hours to pick out our puppy! There were 3 to choose from and we got their early and got to play with them by ourselves (mom called and asked if we could get in before they opened and they let us). That goodness we got there early because as soon as they opened tons of people came in and started to pick and buy puppies! We picked the calmest one who was just so sweet!
After we paid for her we drove the 3.5 hours home. In the care we brainstormed names and decided on Olive U. Horton (say it out loud :) ). She is just adorable and was such a good girl and cuddled with us the entire drive home.
When we got home mom went to get Mia and we all met at TCE so that the dogs could meet on neutral territory. Mia was unsure of her (we were nervous she was going to think she was a bunny and we all know what Mia does with bunnies)! They played and had fun together. Nama came over to meet Olive and we all had fun playing with her! She is just adorable.
Now we have to work on potty training and get her to stop chewing on everything and pulling up our rugs!!
Love,
Kate
