RIP Marigolds

So on April 15th at 1:01pm my mother said and I quote, "It's hard to kill a Marigold." So with that being stated by mother (whom has never steered me wrong) I went out and bought two 6-packs of marigolds for like 3 dollars at a local flower market. With the tornado, work and everything else I have not had time to plant them so the night before the tornado I had brought all my seedlings into the sun room as it had been raining for 2days and I thought for sure my plants were going to float away. At the last minute I brought the marigolds in as well, there was no room on my grooming table turned plant holder, so I set the marigolds on the floor figuring they would be fine there!


Ummm, not so much! So yesterday when Anthony came to see me at work, he says, 'so we are less some Marigolds.' I said, 'why, did they die?' thinking that maybe they got to much water from all the rain and had quietly drowned on the floor in my sun room! Turns out, Anthony left Maddie Grace and EmmiLou out in the spare room while he ate his breakfast in the living room. Which leaving them loose in that room is completely fine, however shutting the door from the spare room to the sun room is key to keeping them from getting into trouble! So while Anthony was enjoying his breakfast, Maddie Grace and EmmiLou where enjoying some dirt and Marigolds for breakfast. So it turns out it isn't that hard to kill a marigold just ask the girls!

Next, the AMAZING BLUE BALL! So I looked back through my blog and found that I bought this ball on March 7th and this is what it looks like today!

I am truly amazed this ball has lasted almost 2 months at MY house, with the TOY KILLERS! So with this excitement, while buying dog food on Monday, Anthony and I bought another one! Here is the new AMAZING BLUE BALL!(Mom, next time I am at that pet store I will buy one for you and send it to your monsters!)

Lastly here is them together! While the older one has some serious teeth marks it is still completely intact. (Minus a little rubber around that the top, but that's nothing)

Normally, I buy these other balls called Devil Balls and Planet Balls and they last 2 hours tops. The orange ball below used to have horns, feet and was completely whole. See below, not so much!


Lastly, I explained to Kirby the other day that Mommy and Jeffypoo would be coming to visit him in October, he got really excited! Since then this is what he does...

If you can't see he is facing the front door. I find him like this a lot when I come home from work too. I think he gets up there and waits for me to get home, or he is on guard just in case there is a break in, he is on the job!

Look at the face, he is so cute!

All for now, hope everyone has a good day, I have to do laundry and clean! BOO!
