Callie the Clown

Today Callie just kept making me laugh, but I had to hide it every time because along with these funny acts she performed, correction needed using. First, today was a the perfect weather day. It was a sunny with a little breeze and zero humidity, so we decided to go play outside for a little while until lunch time. I had just fed the dogs, so their dog dishes placed in their 1.5 foot feeding stands were full of food. Side note: Callie LOVES dog food. Whenever we go out to the garage she moves those little legs as fast as she can out the garage door and searches the garage floor for fallen dog food. Another side note: She knows she's not supposed to eat it. So, Ellie and I were swinging on the swing, the dogs were eating their food, and Callie was in the middle of the dogs and their food. I look over at her and she is bending her head down face first into the dog bowls and eating the dog food "hands free". I guess if the dogs do it...that's how it's supposed to be done. And when she sees me looking at her (her body still bent down over the bowls, but her head looking up at me with the eyes of a guilty girl), she proceeds to spit the food out of her mouth. It was all quite funny and how harmless can dog food be, but it eventually ended in a spanking because she did not obey mommy. Nate and I laughed about it later.

Second silly thing she did today was done while Nate and I were playing Yahtzee. Callie likes to "play" with us too. This means she steals our dice and then our writing tools and proceeds to scribble all over the score pad. This doesn't really bother us, we just take it all back when we need it. Well, today I had a glass of water with me while we played at the coffee table. Callie was sitting on top of the coffee table playing with my dice. And all of a sudden she gets this idea! She drops a die in my water glass. But she's going to be helpful, so she sticks her whole hand in my water glass and grabs the die and pulls it out. I wanted to laugh, but thought better not too, and I wanted to scold, but I immediately rolled a Yahtzee with my wet dice. Thanks Callie. I won the game.
