Sammy the Yorkie: He's cute as a button! And though this isn't saying much, he has more energy than I. Thankfully, we've had the kids all week, since we're both on vacation. This is good because the four of us combined come close to Sammy's energy level.

About vacation: In my family, this is when you do a bunch of stuff together. Typically, we do that somewhere out of town, but due to puppy expenses, I convinced the boy to do local day trips instead. It's been much better, but we still have to plan, make checklists, reserve, leave on time, and follow a schedule. Plus, activities like hanging out on a pontoon boat all day, which should have involved me reading, actually involved me feeding the kids, hauling the kids out of the water, and teaching the dog how to swim.

Couple that with daily puppy play and potty training, and I find myself beginning blog post, walking away, and letting them time out before I finish what I started. I've also been helping the 13-year-old edit and publish his debut movie, Mezesoic Park. Yes, he spelled it wrong, LOL. Check it out anyway, it's rather hysterical. Plus, we could use the views and "likes" so he'll show up in the YouTube search:
