Weekend Update with your hosts Claire and Chris Wylie

Chris and I went to Grande Prairie this past Friday to do a little shopping. We of course, hit Michaels, and I, of course, did not leave empty handed. Scrapbook paper was 50% off so I had to get some of that, and then I bought some yarn to make a blanket for our new couch. We also went to Jysk and Staples where we bought a desk. Chris went to Future Shop and bought his much anticipated speakers. So we know longer have to hear about how much he wants speakers!! He has them, case closed! ;)
The rest of the weekend was comprised of mainly running errands, although Sunday afternoon we went to the movies and saw The Brothers Grimm, which was pretty good. The one thing that bugged me about it was that it is supposed to take place in Germany, but every single character had a different British accent!! It was entertaining, though, and that was what we were looking for.
Today we went and got BC driver's licenses, so I think we only have medical numbers to go, and that takes three months before we covered anyway so we have to hang on to the manitoba ones for awhile.
Puppy training continues. She is really good with "come" and is learning "sit". We're still working on the house training. She's getting better, but there are still plenty of little accidents to clean up! We've been leaving her alone for a couple hours each day to get her used to the idea, and she no longer cries so that is good news. She also has caused no distruction beyond ripping up a newspaper, which was our fault because we left it in her reach. No permanent damage, so we're pretty relieved about that. Hope it stays that way!!
Talk to you soon!
