Answering the burning question: What happens during a snow day at the Sweetney household?
Well, it's getting pretty The Shining-esque over here today, that's for sure:
Everyone say it with me now: Poor, poor Truman.
And the shrieking? I don't get it. And DO NOT WANT.
Under the circumstances, what would you reckon is a reasonable hour to begin drinking, hmm?







Poor Truman! and all he wanted to do was play with his toy.
I say it's never too early for a drink!

Umm, you can start drinking one hour after you wake up. That is a rule. And Truman loved every second of that!

You haven't started?

Anytime after Noon is totally acceptable, all things considered.
Truman AND M! I think this is the first time I've seen them in action together! So cute!

She sounds like she is being killed! And yes indeed, poor poor puppy.

What was the siren sound in the background???

keri: do you mean the shrieking siren that is my daughter, or the whirring of my stinky-ass broken-down old video camera?
there's so much noise going on it's hard to separate things out. and let's not forget the dog toy in the shape of a dog that barks. NICE.

That just made my day! Especially every time Truman snorts. Thanks! :)

Reasonable hour to drink?:
My mum was always an after midday girl, but I'm all for any time after 9am. I just keep it light until noon hits... I imagine when I have kids it will be a little different!

You put whatever you want in your coffee mug. And just a reminder: wine corks (real ones) can be easily carved to make passable earplugs. It's a great Christmas craft.

When I was playing your scary movie, my cat gave me a look like "What the freaking hell is that?"

Is the drink for you or for Truman?
Posted by: Sarah | December 07, 2007 at 12:21 PM
NOW I know why I didn't drink my coffee yesterday! M must have somehow gotten over here and DRANK it. ALL of it.
P.S. I want to eat Truman's tail.

oh god. that shrieking, moaning, vocalizing in weird and offputting ways--Jack is totally and utterly there too. drives. us. batty.

I love the little nom-nom he did to her fingers. Too cute!
Posted by: BaltimoreGal | December 07, 2007 at 02:21 PM
Um, about an hour before that started?
Posted by: Ree | December 07, 2007 at 03:29 PM
OMG my dog at home had that same puppy that barked... Yip-yipyipyip... Yip-yipyipyip... Flash would beat it against the floor in her mouth to get it to trigger.
Poor Truman. I can just imagine him saying "Step the hell OFF child... just step the hell OFF"
*pushes all sugar and caffienated items far far away from M*

Don't be coy, Tracey. I know you know all about mommy's "water bottle" for her "Crystal Light". If not, then Merry Christmas!

Ohshit, this is what my house looks like daily. The shrieking? Daily. I pray to Jebus for a snow day so there's something different.
And yes, I start drinking early, why do you ask?
Posted by: Mrs. Flinger | December 09, 2007 at 05:24 AM
OMG Poor Truman! But how cute is M? So cute!
It's never too early for a little Bailey's in your coffee cup :)

I love your dog.
