I still deal with morning naptimes most of the time so moved outside play to the end of the day. I love that they can get as dirty as they want and then it just goes home with the parents and not back into my house.

I miss my dog terribly but so don't miss the wads of hair she shed - some weeks I felt I had enough hair to make a new dog. Changed to a bagless vacuum just because of her as it was getting too expensive to keep changing them.
