Glasgow Family Updates

Ok so it's Saturday night - I'm blogging, the kids are in bed, Tyler's playing poker at the neighbors, and I don't have any of my Christmas stuff out yet... Oh well, maybe I'll get to it tomorrow. Gee, I'm starting to sound like a man!

Today we got to play in the SNOW! We didn't get much - but enough for the kids to have fun in. Landry just wanted to eat it and Cole wanted to put it in a bucket and "save" it. He'll be disappointed tomorrow when it's a bucket of water. (It's suppose to be 50 degrees)

This a.m. we had practice/scrimmage. Landry wasn't very happy about sitting in the stands. She wanted to be out on the court with the big kids. She took off a few times sprinting out on the court. I got tired of chasing her so Tyler ended up carrying her while coaching. She LOVED it - she watched those kids like a hawk.

We had a busy week and were pretty shot by Thursday night. Of all nights... it was about 2:15 when our lovely neighbor dog started barking uncontrollably. Let me just say, there are only 2 neighbors in our whole development that don't fit in. One lives right beside us. He's a divorcee that I think is having a mid-life crisis... He loves to go out all the time - gets drunk - comes home - lets his dog out - and passes out on the couch while his dog is outside in zero degree weather barking like crazy! Our bedroom and Cole's bedroom are on that side of the house so it was like the dog was sitting next to our bed, it was so loud! So after 2 hours of non stop barking and Cole waking up, Tyler decided to do something! He decided he was going to call the neighbor and let him "have it"! So he pulls out the phone book and dials the number. I'll remind you - it's about 4:20 a.m.... Here's Tyler's conversation.
"Mike" - Hello?
"Tyler" - Yeah, is this Mike?
"Mike" - yes
"Tyler" - Would you shut your ?!?&*...(explicit) dog up, that has been
?!?&*... barking for 2 1/2 ?!?&*... hours!
PAUSE...
"Mike" - Ah, What dog...?
"Tyler" - Is this Mike Barker?
"Mike" - yes
"Tyler" - that lives in Grimes?
"Mike" - yes
"Tyler" - that lives on Norton?
"Mike" - no
"Tyler" - Oh, OK - sorry

Cole and I were upstairs dying laughing - I was laughing so hard I was crying. Cole was giggling like a little girl. Yes - meanwhile the dog is still barking non-stop! So after a child being woke up, wrong phone #, and a sheriffs call the dog was finally quite at 5 am. Needless to say none of us could go back to bed, it had been to exciting of a time. Cole came home from school that day and went to bed at 5:30 he was exhausted!

He told me on the way home - If that dog starts barking again tonight I'm going to be sooooo mad! (I was just glad he didn't add the ?!?&*...(explicit)in there! ;)
