At least puppies are cute when they whine...

Teenagers, on the other hand, are most definitely not cute when they whine. I don't know about you other teachers, but all of these snow days and late starts are making my students whiny and lazy, a combination that makes me want to smack my face against the chalkboard.

Let's run down the typical cause and effect scenarios that occur on a much-too-regular basis in my classroom.

Cause: I rearrange the desks so that they're in rows.
Effect: "WHAT!? Are we taking a test!?"


Cause: I tell students to get out a sheet of notebook paper.
Effect: "WHAT!? Are we taking a test?!"


Cause: I schedule a test one week in advance. On the day of the test, I ask students to get out a #2 pencil.
Effect: "WHAT!? Are we taking a test!?"


Cause: I tell students we're taking a test.
Effect: "WHAT!? Are we taking a test?!"


Cause: "WHAT!? Are we taking a test!?"
Effect: I smack my face against the chalkboard.


With that, I bring you to the cute portion of our show today: my parents' new puppies. Well, you get to see one of them, but they look *pretty much* the same. Meet Sammy.

The Look:

Jeggings: American Eagle high-rise 

Boots: Etienne Aigner via Macy's (old)

Vest: Under Armour (last year?) and scored it for $30 down from $120!

Sweater: Holy crap, it's from J.Crew, but I actually bought it for $7 on thredUP, hee hee.

Scarf: gift from a student :) 

Later on, I realized I must have been subconsciously inspired by this pin. Is there such a thing as pinterest amnesia? If not, there should be. 

This picture is the only full-length shot you get. We were more concerned with pictures of his cute face next to mine. 

I want to go back and play with them again. Right this second.

 (I had to show you his cute Mickey sweater!)

LOOK AT THAT FACE. I WANT TO COVER IT IN KISSES. 

Yeah, he's standing on his gross, little pee pad, but he's so cute that I didn't think you would mind.

Some facts about the boys:

Names:

Sammy (featured here) and Rudy 

Weight:

Sammy is 2.5 pounds in these pictures, but he has since gained a very tiny bit of weight. 

Full grown, he and his brother are supposed to weigh no more than 7 pounds.

Breed:

Pure bred Yorkies (they're specifically called Parti Yorkies.)

Likes:

Rudy enjoys fighting with his brother and, more recently, pooping on top of his crate, a physical feat no one yet understands.

Sammy enjoys eating hair and curling up in the crook of Mom's neck.

They both love to snuggle and nap.
