Spring time has finally (Maybe?) arrived in Texas!

What a GORGEOUS weekend we were blessed with! The kiddos were thrilled to have a ton of outside time and Gator was pretty happy too.  Saturday morning everyone was up and at it pretty early.  Gator is on a feeding schedule of 7am and 4pm.  You can set a clock by his stomach.  He is standing at his chow bowl at 6:55am and 3:55pm. He woke Grace up and she woke me up, "Get up Mama! Gator needs his breakfast bites!"  Cowpoke got up soon after and we decided to head out on the area hike and bike trail.  Usually Grace can't walk more than about 1/2 mile without having to get into the stroller or be carried.  With Gator she walked almost a whole mile! Woot-woot!

 

 

Gator loved being able to go and go! We didn't make him wear his vest but we did make him use his service leash.  He did an awesome job taking commands from me, Cowpoke and Grace! We all had to take a turn walking him. 

 

 

Eating out is rare as there are no safe resturants for Grace but we do have a treat that is okay - SNOW CONES! We have a snow cone place in our town that is safe for Grace.  Cowpoke is allergic to Red dye #40 and I try to not allow either of them any artificial coloring but since we are so limited with treats I allow a snow cone every couple of weeks in the spring and summer. Cowpoke wanted to call Nana and invite her. She hadn't had a snow cone in a long time and really enjoyed this time together.

 



 

 

Yesterday was his second Sunday at church.  He did awesome!  Grace was restless.  She liked the music and was good during that but anyone who knows her in real life knows she is not a "sitter" and she was quite busy.  #827 took her out and walked them both outside on the gorgeous church property.  She was quite happy as soon as she got outside!

Today was back to school for Grace. Her little school goes for 3 hours a day. Gator can go if I go, but honestly we aren't ready to start that yet. Maybe in the fall for pre-k and definitely for kindergarten, but right now I need those 3 hours a day to get things done.  Gator walks her in to school and then Gator and I leave after lunch.  He whines when I put him in the car and sits at the door whining until we load up to go pick her up. Can you believe he has only been home 9 days? He knows she is his girl and he doesn't like when she is gone.

Have a blessed week and enjoy the beautiful weather!  If anyone has any questions I am going to start answering questions on Grace and Gator on Wednesdays here on the blog.  Feel free to email anything you have wondered about to graceandgator@gmail.com.
