Mendel in pictures - 10 weeks

Yum!

Yes, my Mom trimmed hair off my Right ear - I don't want to talk about it.

Mom, seriously, I'm busy here!

New Toy

Putting his new toy in his "secret hiding place"

Wresting

Pretty Boy

What do you mean I'm not supposed to be in here?  Lilly does it all the time!

Watching TV

Such a good girl putting up with all his crap.

HI!!

Apparently, Mendel thinks we should go without the bushes this year.  :\

Bath Time

Where are Bailey and Lilly?  Well, they got the heck out of there when they saw he was headed for the tub.  They've learned about this whole bath thing.  :)

Packer Game Sunday - Mendel Style

You've already seen the pictures of Mendel and Lilly playing outside at Grandma's before the Packer game.

Bailey was outside, too, but he was laying down and pouting because his feet were cold.  He walked all the way down to the end of the yard, after I repeatedly asked him not to (knowing his feet were going to get cold) and then he got some kind of crazy idea that I was going to put my Dad's boots on and trudge all the way down there to carry him back in.  I won that battle.  It may have taken him a week and a half, but he walked his sorry butt all the way up to the house.  (where, of course, grandma fawned over him and filled his belly with treats)

Here's some pictures from during the game:

All that playing outside just took it right out of him.

After being woken up by cheering, he went right back to napping.

My Mama likes Lady Bugs.  I like that whenever she sees a lady bug, I get a new toy.

Frog Dog

Hey, keep it down!  I'm nappin' here!

What?  What happened?  Did we win?

  Yes, Mendel, WE WON!  We're going to the SUPER BOWL!

 Oh, good, wake me up when it's supper time.  K?

I'm So Embarassed!

Somebody, please inform protective services.  My mom has crossed the line.  She GLUED my ponytail in.  Something about my ears needing to stand up and the little band constantly getting knocked out.  I think somebody should tell her that I'm a BOY and boys don't wear pony tails!  Plus, my ear was CUTE floppy!  I think she's lost her mind.

Dear Mendel,

Your pony tail is so tiny nobody will even notice.  (holding his right ear hair up on top of his head)  You'll thank me later when all your friends aren't making fun of you in the show ring because your ear is all wonky.  Plus, now I don't have to pin you down every five minutes to put the band back in your hair after you manage to knock it out.  Nice try with the sad face, though, I'm sure somebody will go for it.
