Fact Checking

I just got the following email from Ben regarding my posts of earlier today (thanks for checking the facts, baby!):

The "Passat" is actually a Jetta.

The bug sucker does actually have a vacuum motor that sucks bugs!

Not a big deal, but humorous!

Love you,

Ben

Not Allowed to Share

Dexter is very good at sharing but he knew that he could not share his donut with My Bologna (despite My Bologna's intense interest in it). "I'm sorry, My Bologna. Donuts aren't good for dogs."

It was a close call when Dexy turned to smile at Mama!

Sure Sign of Spring

First popsicle of the season!

Satisfying!

Long Bread and Hot Bread

When we asked Dexter where he wanted to go for lunch yesterday while the car was in the shop, he said, "I want to go to where they have long bread and hot bread but I can't remember the name."  I said, "Is it the place that also has crunchy bread (croutons)?" "Yes!" Exclaimed Dexter. "Is it the place where you eat a ton of minestrone soup?" "Yes!" Exclaimed Dexy.  "Is it Olive Garden?"  "Yes!  Olive Garden!" 

Mini-Mechanic

We've had to take the Passat into CarX two times within the past week (and spent $1,200 on repairs). The upshot is that Dexy gets to watch the mechanics work. He never gets tired of it!

Digging for Bugs

One day after school last week, Dexter went to the park with a couple of school friends, one of whom had a "Bug Sucker" - a long tube with a bulb at one end that creates suction for pulling bugs up out of the earth. Without a Bug Sucker of his own (or as he describes it, a "vacuum for bugs"), he used a stick to create holes in the earth and search for bugs. 

Ever since, Dexy has gone digging for bugs in our yard every chance he gets and has covered a surprisingly vast territory! As my mother noted, at least he's aerating the ground which will help the grass grow.

He has yet to find a bug so I'm not sure how we'll handle it when he does.
