The Adventures of Charlie Continue...

 Hazel and "Charlie" are still the bestest of friends. They do EVERYTHING together...

From picking out bedtime books

Charlie really likes 'Hello Farm'

"Get a drink of water Charlie"

To Health check ups

Charlie is very well loved

And taken care of

"Both ears Mommy"

And every mealtime in between

Charlie is there in his very own chair

Just like Hazel

"Share with Charlie Mommy!"

"It's cold outside today Charlie!"

The two bestest of friends <3

I can't wait to see what adventures these besties come up with next!

Happy Fri-Yay Everyone!

Always,

Amelia

Why Spring... Why?

After another night in the basement with a toddler who very much did NOT sleep through the tornado sirens (I would like to personally thank all the doggies for keeping Hazel happy and laughing and not at all afraid. I think some homemade treats are on the agenda!) I needed a few reminders of WHY I EVEN THINK I LIKE SPRING. So if you are in the struggle bus as much as we are today, here are some bright spots of Spring to help remind us all the joys of this season...

Flowers!

Who doesn't love bright sunshiny daffodils!?

Like little drops of happiness

And the Magnolias!

I really hope their blooms make it through this weather week

I want to be as peaceful as a magnolia blossom

So serene

Hang on tight my little spots of bliss

I guess I am just in it for the flowers...

WHY SPRING WHY?!?

Please let us sleep safely. I didn't see myself missing the dark days of bundling up my feral toddler in layers just to go outside for one minute, so quickly into April.

Can we please have bubble days back??

Asking for a friend...

Always,

Amelia

Wild Wednesday

With more severe weather on the way... Sometimes you just need to seize the tiny in-between moment of storm free sunlight and run wild!

Let's go Ernie!!!

RUN RUN RUN!

Phew...

Okay now run wild this way!

Keep going!

I see the sun

Almost there

Ahhhhh, much better!

Happy Wild Wednesday!

Stay safe out there.

Always,

Amelia

Get Back to Work

 Hazel says that Grandpa has been working working working a lot lately and needs a day off...

Don't worry Grandpa!

Just sit back and relax

I will fill your shoes for the day!

I can be just like you and do all your chores

Just kidding! I have books to read!

Happy April Fools!

Now get back to work...

Poor Grandpa!

Always,

Amelia

We Can't Wait!

 We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our spring puppies! Another excited Yesteryear Acres Doodle alumni can't wait for his new sibling to arrive, COME ON PUPPIES!!!

This sweet boy is Jack! He is one of Mango's puppies that I had the awesome privilege to train almost 7 years ago

He is such a good boy and now has two human brothers he spends his days with

And he can't wait for one little one with paws to be on the way!

Playtime awaits!

Happy WE CAN'T WAIT Puppy Monday!

Always,

Amelia

Toddler Studio Sunday

We have been so busy preparing for our little puppy paws to arrive, we haven't had any free time to create in the Y Acres Studio. Adding severe storm prep to our already long list for today, and there simply hasn't been even a second to sneak in some sewing. Hazel has been asking and asking to "Go to the Studio Mommy" and luckily Grandpa had the very best idea! He has been saving this big special box for a clubhouse, and today we quickly turned it into a Toddler Studio.

With lots of different crayons

New coloring sheets of all of Hazel's favorite things

And Y Acres Toddler Studio Clubhouse was open for business

With one VERY happy customer

Not only could she color all the pictures

But the walls of her clubhouse too!

My little visionary at work

Everywhere color!

Mommy might have helped with one picture...

Who can resist a cute dragon?!

Before slowly sneaking out of the clubhouse to continue working

Hazel would like everyone to know that "This is Chestnut neigh neigh horsey" 

One very successful creation station, happy toddler,  AND Mommy got so much work done too!

Happy Studio Sunday from the Y Acres Toddler Studio Clubhouse!

Always,

Amelia
