So, how do you entertain yourself on a day so cold that you simply don't feel warm no matter what you do? Well, you find distractions. Like arranging sleepy puppies into a heart shape. Well, kind of a heart shape, they are a tad wiggly to pose very well.
You can also see what happens if you add bubbles to a whirl pool tub.
We discovered that the jets create lots and lots of bubbles. And just as many giggles.
Here is a flickr video of Sugarwings splashing away: http://www.flickr.com/photos/karlascottage/
That was the best post yet!!!!!

I agree with the poster above, Snowbaby is exactly what I thought your Sugarwings looked like!! and me thinks you're having a little too much fun with those puppies. LOL

How sweet Sugarwings is -- Her face too too adorable and those eyes -- How can you ever say no to that darling face _ Kathy - ga

Great shots of Sugarwings....she's beautiful. I hope you frame those pictures for yourself.......they would be perfect for a bubble bath ad in a magazine! Sue
Posted by: Sue | January 15, 2009 at 08:51 PM
Hilarious! Sugarwings may not be crazy anymore, but someone else in the house might be....
I think you should try the puppy picture again, this time with red bows around their necks- and they have to be on their backs.

Awww! She does look like a snow baby. I always wanted bubbles like that when I was a kid, but we didn't have a whirlpool tub. It didn't matter how much bubble bath I poured in the tub, it just didn't look like the bubbles in the commercials!
Posted by: Jessica | January 15, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Oh, my gosh! Sugarwings is so cute.

This is soooo cute! I cannot wait till my 15 year old daughter comes out of school and show her the photo of the puppies and the clips of Sugarwings, I guess (besides you and your husband of course) she is Sugarwings biggest fan! Have a nice day!

You are very clever Carla! Delightful ways to entertain yourself!
Posted by: Maija Lepore | January 16, 2009 at 09:16 AM
That IS THE cutest set of photos yet.
Taking a bubble is one of my favorite things to do. But "Sugarwing's " bubble bath is over the top. No pun intended. Simply adorable.
Posted by: Debra Ganas | January 16, 2009 at 09:25 AM

The picture of Sugarwings is priceless!
Posted by: Lee W. | January 16, 2009 at 06:45 PM
She is so cute! My daughter loves going to her Oma's house to do this very thing. A jet fueled bubble bath makes everything better for a little girl ;)
Posted by: Gail | January 16, 2009 at 06:46 PM
Oh my gosh those puppies are so cute! What kind? Oh I wish I was there to jump in that tub!

Thanks for a cute pick me up this cold wintery night. Those puppies are darling and I just love all those bubbles with that tiny little face sticking out. My stink bone jones would absolutely love all those bubbles!
Posted by: Jaime Compton | January 16, 2009 at 09:37 PM
How adorable is Sugarwings in the bubbles. Those eyelashes are amazing. The boys will be in trouble someday . all she will have to do is look at them with those eyes and they will be putty in her hands. Is that her Daddy with her in the flickr photos? Your bathroom looks amazing too. I can just imagine trying to get those sweet puppies to stay in a certain place. Have a great weekend.

My god these photos are cute!!! That little puppy heart, so sweet.
And thanks Carla! I have always wondered what will happen when you add bubbles to a wirlpool. It doesn't seems to bad at all. I love bubble baths and I love bathing in a whirlpool so this is a perfect combo! Have a wonderful weekend /linnea-maria

Oh, my -- the pictures of Sudsy-Bubbly Sugarwings are soooo precious! You are going to be so happy years down the road when she is a big girl and you have those precious memories to revisit!! She's a doll.

Posted by: Samantha | January 18, 2009 at 12:51 PM
omg...love that whirlpool photo! we got one of the bubble jets for the back yard...uses non harming bubble stuff for the grass and it makes clouds of bubbles for the kids to play in out side! and the puppy heart...oh goodness...sooo sweet! thinking the puppies are thinking "oh geeze wish this woman would go work in her studio for awhile.." he ehee
Posted by: barbara burkard | January 19, 2009 at 09:17 AM
I hope you enter those Sugarwings photos somewhere. They are TOO cute!
Posted by: jeanie | January 19, 2009 at 05:29 PM
Haaaaa! I want a bubble bath like that! A huge bowl full of bubbles I could swim around in...oh, I would have died and gone to heaven had I had the chance to do that as a little girl.
