Name Change.

Last year when we brought Bella home from the SPCA she came with the name.  Jason immediately wanted to change it, as it wasn't "cool" enough (he also got rid of the pretty pink collar she came with). 

Lucas dug his heels in and insisted that we keep her name. The kid was seriously bent on it.  He wore us down over the weekend if I remember correctly there may have even been tears (not Luke's usual M.O. he's more of the old school whining always wins theory)

His top argument (punctuated by a foot stomp) was "You can't just CHANGE someone's name!"

We finally figured out that a lovely little girl in his class sharing the name of our new pup was the focus of his attention at the moment. 

The other day, he told me that he thought it was time to change Bella's name. His new choice? 

Spot. 

Yes. 

That's right. 

Don't act so surprised, you know how unoriginal we can be at naming. (see also:  cat's name - Kitty). 

I told him no problem.  But as long as we were at it I was going to change his name to Tinkerbell. 

So he's dropped it (for now).

I went to my favourite craft fair last weekend and bought a few things that I finally took pictures of. 

I know I'm not supposed to be shopping before we move, but I only bought one candlestick (instead of the set of 3 that I wanted) so I think that showed great restraint on my part. 

I'm trying to get all the calendars for the Grandma's done but can't seem to focus.  I did get the cover page for our store calendar kit done.

It's super simple, but is an extra in January's kit. 

And with that I really need to try to focus on those calendars...(drink coffee, surf the web...)
