Paprika's Puppy Plop

Paprika's puppies have grown so much this week! With the addition of solid food into their diets, they've had a growth spurt big enough to wear collars now.
We have...
The two dark apricot boys: Blue Argyle and Teddy Bears
Two Apricot boys: Red Lava and Camo
And the two girls: Pink Disco and Santa Fe
Oh boy am I fancy now or what!?
Hey William!!! Look how big we are getting!
You know what that means right?
We are the PAWfect size for a puppy plop!
Just the right height to kiss your nose *SMOOCH*
Woah that is very tall...
Amelia! We need more snacks to grow taller so we can reach William!
Don't worry puppies...
You'll always be the PAWfect size no matter how old you are <3
Happy Paprika Puppy Plop Tuesday!
Always,
Amelia

A Little Batty Studio Sunday

Life in the Y Acres Studio is still on hold so William and his Mama have provided the color and creativity this week. Abigail and William worked on a fun spooky craft to welcome the first day of fall.
Start with coffee filters and lots of colors
This pair looks like the aurora and the night sky 
Space and sunset
Give them all a little trim to give the coffee filters nice points
Add a black clothes-pin and Voila! Beautiful DIY bats!
A kaleidoscope of our nocturnal pollinators
Made with the most love and sense of wonder
Thank you for sharing your Batty Devotion with the Y Acres Studio!
Always,
Amelia

Mini Me Caturday

WELP.... It has finally happened. Hazel is officially a small version of me and I just don't know if I have it in me to be like my own mother and stay strong. I heard my very first "Mommy can we keep her?" and I want to say YES because I too always ask my mom "Can't we keep this one?!" And I am much older than two.
Everyone meet Elsa's little girl Devon Rex kitten
Hazel is absolutely enamored with her
And so is the kitten
Hazel laughed hysterically when she climbed into the slipper like Kipper the dog.
Someone tell Hazel and I NO before this kitten finds her way into Hazel's toddler bed slipper and all!
Seriously.. I have created a Mini Me! WHAT DO I DO!?!?
Happy HALP ME with my Mini Me Caturday!
Always,
Amelia

Getting Ready for Spooky Season Fri-Yay

 It is no secret that my sister LOVES Halloween and everything Spooky Season. She made the most wonderful "HILLoween" extravaganza for the kids last year, where they ran all over her huge hill 'Trick or Treating' to the various hidden stations around her property. Colton is already talking about HILLoween at Auntie Abigail's house! We all can't wait! With so much to prepare for the festivities coming up in the next month, Abigail has already begun to spookify her house.
Today she took her family to the pumpkin patch for a fun Fri-Yay outing!
Oh my GOURD! Spooky Season is upon us!
Let's pick out the best center pieces for the family table. Perfect job William!
Hmmm now to choose the pumpkins... Some beautiful colored pumpkins from here
But Wait! There is more 
And some orange pumpkins from over here
Time to pick out ALL the perfect spooktastic things!
Fall decor at the ready!
AHHHH Pumpkin Perfection!
Fall table ready for food and fun
Ahhh smells like Spooky Season is here!
Happy Spooky Season Pumpkin Prep Fri-YAY!
Always,
Amelia

A Very Important Question

Scout's puppies were happily playing when...
They decided they had a very important question for me.
Uhh Amelia? Can Hazel come in to play?
She always comes up with the coolest games!
Of course puppies! Here is Hazel!
Wohooo! Hazel is here!!
Everybody get her!
Puppy kisses incoming!!
Meanwhile, Hazel on repeat: "What good little puppies"
And they played and they played and they played.
Until they all took a nap :)
Ahhhh.... Serenity
Have a wonderful Thursday!
Always,
Amelia
