so happy together

After writing about the advent calendar I thought I should get a picture of these two together. I was thinking it would be easy since they are together a lot during the day, but I was wrong. I have concluded that getting a dog and a child to both look at the camera at the same time is even harder than getting multiple children to do so. Oh well, you can gather from this picture how much they enjoy having each other around. In fact, yesterday they pulled quite the stunt on me. It's amazing what a child can do while their mom takes just a couple of minutes in the bathroom. To give you some background first, we have had a mole tearing through our backyard the past few weeks and nothing we do seems to stop it. Well, C is really enjoying having fresh dirt mounds everywhere to dig in. His newest favorite activity with the dirt is throwing it on Montana. She could care less and just lays there and takes it. Anyway, when I came out of the bathroom I found that C had thrown two shovelfuls of dirt at Montana in the middle of our carpet, our very light colored carpet. My neighbor came to the rescue with her little bissel green. I just may need to put one of those on my Christmas list!
