Spring Cleaning

Today I woke up so happy to have been able to sleep in until 8:15...3 hours later than I wake up during the week! One of my many motivations for getting up and going in the mornings is a great new routine I have with Emmett. After I shower and check email, I go in to the kitchen to wake up E-dog. We go outside to the backyard so he can potty, and then as soon as we go back inside, he darts to the front door and sits. I open the front door, and he is on a mission...to get the newspaper from the driveway. With a wagging tail, he grabs it, brings it in and back to the kitchen where I am waiting for my morning read. He drops the paper at my feet, and I give him a rub on the head, a "Good boy!" and a treat. The funny thing is that at other times in the day, he seems to think it's time to get the paper. He either runs to the front door or if let outside the front door, searches for it all along the driveway. What a good pup. By the way, I think he is about 35 pounds now.
Wes and I have been in a cleaning mood today. With the light rain and the spring flowers starting to bloom, we felt like doing some good ole cleaning. We have cleaned the ceiling fans, washed all the sheets in the house in one fail swoop (we do have visitors coming tomorrow!), dusted the entire house, changed the dining table decor, put up old decorations and brought down Easter ones from the attic, and just tidied up a bit all over. All of this spring cleaning talk makes me want to get back to it. So, that's all for now. I just noticed it had been two weeks...so there you have it. Nothing dramatic happening here at the Walker house. Just staying BUSY and getting excited for our spring break trip to Colorado next week!!
Off to vacuum...
