It was a nice weekend at the Liddle's. We spent lots of time outside, happy to get some relief from the recent icy temperatures. On Saturday, the kids and I made Snickerpoodles. In case you're wondering, that's not a typo! We had lots of fun rolling out the dough,
shaping the poodles (plus a few cut-out hearts) and dipping them in the cinnamon and sugar,
and then decorating and enjoying the finished product!
Emily still won't eat her poodle. I'm still trying to convince her that it won't keep forever!!
Sunday night, a heroic effort took place at our house. Jason discovered that two puppies (belonging to my brother) were stuck in a small culvert underneath our driveway. Jason, Josh and our friend Mack tried pulling the puppy out, but he was completely stuck. At the time, the other puppy could not be seen, but the guys suspected that he was in the pipe too. After two and a half hours of digging, pulling and coming up with makeshift rescue tools, both of the puppies were safe. The kids prayed for the puppies, and I did too...I couldn't stand the thought of the poor little guys suffocating to death. The puppy furthest in was so stuck that Jason didn't believe he ever would have made it out on his own. They actually had to get a rope (tied to the end of a broomstick) around his back legs (which were stretched out behind him) and pull him like a calf is sometimes pulled during delivery. Here is a picture of Bella, who was rescued first, with Josh.
And here is a picture of the heroes, Josh, Jason and Mack. (That is not a microphone that Mack is holding, it's a flashlight.)

Snickerpoodles - hilarious! :-) Looks like fun - I like cooking with the kids, but doesn't it take about a billion times longer than normal???
for some reason i could so see mack jason and josh down on the ground trying to get the dogs out of a pipe. i am guessing this was after mark killed the wasp with his bare hands... he does it all the time at work. snickerpoodles that sounds good. laugh out loud see ya wednesday night liddle's
that does look like a microphone mack is holding though thinks hmm what all did they try
I want to learn how to make snickerpoodles. Even just snickerDoodles would be good for me. I don't have a good recipe for that. Very cute. I enjoyed the pics.
great pictures. The snickerpoodles are so cute. I am still a little confused as to how they rescued the dog with a rope.
