Daddy's new toys

So the DADA has a couple cool new toys that seemed like a worthwhile share in the blog world. He has always been so proud of his chicken wing making skills but lately he has been bogged down with drama from the cheapie deep fryer we had. With Super Bowl Sunday as his incentive, we ventured out to Macy's for the MAC DADDY of deep fryers. This bad boy is pretty toguh and I love it because you can just drain the oil right out of a spout in the bottom-easier clean up-which always seems to be MY job! Nic is so pumped because you can put like 3 lbs. of chicken in this thing at once which in turn reduces his time spent hovering over his creation. I was telling him how I would clear a spot for it in the cupboard under the counter but he wasn't having it. He proceeded to tell me that he beleived this huge fryer shoudl be kept out on countertop at all times because you just never know when you might need to fry something up. You know like donuts, french fries, etc. I then told him that is exactly the reason the toy must be stored AWAY. Who needs donuts, frnech fries, etc anyways??
I won-don't worry-I won!!
Here is toy #1


And Toy #2
We have been visiting MINGLE with the MUTS for a couple months on every other Sunday afternoon looking for a new little friend. Nic has been wanting a dog for a very long tiem and I jsut haven't quite been there. I felt like we were going to introduce the girls to the canines for the future but this last Sunday was a bit different. We met MAX (yes he shares his name with your perfect little one Jen) and really fell in love. I have never met a 7 month puppy with such calmness. You see-I need calmness!! He is puppy like playful too but oh so very sweet and loving. he was great with the girls, he isn't mouthy or yappy. He really hardly barks. He is already learned that we do not pee or poop in this house and for that I am eternally grateful! I label this daddy's toy but we are all having a blast with this one. He is not too big and has little hair so he definitely works for me!!
Here he is just minutes after arriving to the Smith household-just cool and calm as he could be.
He kind of looks like the dog from the little rascals!
