Oh Christmas Tree

Just a different way to capture The Tree.

Instructions here.

We Thought She Was Being SO Well Behaved.

Sitting so nicely in the cart while we wandered around and shopped at Michael's.
That's what we thought!
Then a quick look to drop something in the cart and we found this:

She managed to get white acrylic paint on her hands and face, with the plastic seal on the bottle STILL intact!
At least she picked the white and not the purple, red, green, blue or yellow that were also in the cart!

Just a Few Things.........................

We've Been Up To, So Far This Month.

I've been trying to take pictures of  toddlers!

I've been hand-making teacher gifts!

 I found instructions here.

We attended a fun little parade that was JUST outside our subdivision. We left the house 10 minutes before it started, parked the car, and grabbed a perfect piece of curb just in time for the parade to start!

 The kids said it was better than Halloween because all they had to do was sit their and people brought candy to them. One group was even handing out stuffed animals!

I've been forcing the kids to watch Holiday movies. I used to LOVE watching all the Christmas movies but they just whine, "We've already seen this!"

Monday Mugs - Winter

Are you in need of a mindless Monday Blog post? Are you struggling to deal with the weekend being over and can't muster the strength to type a single word? Well, Monday Mugs is for YOU! I may or may not "borrow" ideas from IheartFaces and post my interpretation of their weekly theme. Without submitting my photo for judgement and without being forced to follow the rules.

Mondays are hard! Blogging on Mondays shouldn't be!

Today's theme for Monday Mugs is: Winter

_________________________

Winter in our neck of the woods:

Nice soft, green grass that DaddyO has to re-plant every October.

Some days we can even wear shorts and no shoes when we play outside. (close your eyes Dad!)

I advised against this, but sometimes Lily thinks it's ok to wear shorts, no shoes AND a tank top!

Lots of these!

A flashback to Winter 2006.
