Being Bassets.: Bits and Pieces - a little this and that from June

June was a wonderful month- Adam and I are both off for the summer, and we are relishing in the lazy days, making plans on the fly, and all the relaxation that comes with that. Here are some bits and pieces from this first month of summer 2012:

Caught in action- I basically let her have {controlled} free reign when it comes time for me to cook dinner. Whatever we can find to keep her content while mommy can't give her the attention she is wanting. ;)

Times at the duck pond....we go on almost daily walks and have quite the following of a few families of ducks. MC wants to eat the bread that we bring to feed them instead of giving it away, but she enjoys waving at the ducks and getting in the middle of their fun. They are pretty used to us and will surround us like we are their owners, it's great!

First adventures in finger painting. I made some homemade finger paints last week for some outdoor fun. The recipe can be found here. It was something I had pinned on Pinterest and couldn't wait to try. They were a bit goopy, so MC wasn't quite sold on the texture, but got into it for a bit. She doesn't seem to enjoy sometimes being too sticky/messy-- unless it is sand/dirt or occasionally food. However, she doesn't seem to enjoy keeping her hands dirty for long in any case. However, we did end up having some fun...looking forward to the next attempt!

Pardon the blurriness, but this is a glimpse into one of her favorite sleeping positions now. Very often we will find her foot in between two of the crib slats, then when we try to move it, the foot is back before we can make it back to our room and turn the monitor on.
