Gardening and 3 year olds; a name a day for the dog

So I was at WalMart with the kids and we were looking at plants. I found a beautiful Hibiscus with an orange flower and thought how beautiful it would look at the house. I said "Lukas, what do you think of this plant? It is called a Hibiscus." "A Highbiscuits?" He replied. "Yes," I said. He looked at the plant for a minute, pointed to the one flower on it and said, well, there is one high biscuit but where are the rest?" Rather than trying to explain, I told him more would grow later. He was quite excited to find more "high biscuits" on the plant the next morning. He told the neighbor girls (his friends) that we got a new plant - a High biscuits!

More about the new dog - we decided that her name is Sadie - she likes it and learned it in one day. Katie even liked it and began calling her Sadie. However, Katie still calls her "him" and occasionally refers to her as "George". This morning when she said "He's a good pet." I said "Yes, she is, what is her name?" Her reply was "Clifford the big dog!" I can't wait to see what her name will be tomorrow!
Sadie, by the way has turned out to be all we had hoped, she plays with Alex (when he is in the mood to play), she tolerates the kids tugging on her, chasing her and squeezing her, she is gentle with them and the only problem we are having is "puppy chewing". This too shall pass!

As soon as she is able to stand still for more than a split second! I am dying to get a picture of her with the kids to send to the shelter so they can see what a great dog she is and see her in her new home!

I'm so happy that she is fitting in so well Donna. I can't wait to see new pictures.
