kid fun

yea, so those last two of DPP? They aren't going anywhere, so I'm going to recover from my guilt-fest. Post them already, and move on to New Years posts and all that.

December 24

I thought that after the cardboard box "presents" under the tree picture, I ought to prove that the children were, indeed, well-endowed on Christmas morning. Much thanks to the paternal unit for doing pretty much all the wrapping. (Though I had to rewrap a couple that Marlowe "practiced" opening while we were waiting for Grammy and Poppy to arrive on Cmas morning)

what will it be tomorrow? William Shakespeare??

Bubble bath Santa

Got these fun lighty toys for the Wreath o' Fun. The kids are having so much fun with them. Might snag a couple for the Fourth of July, too.

Tom and Jerry

Salad spinner art. Big hit with the 2yo.

Last night we went to get the Christmas Tree. It's a bit early for us, and impulsive. But we went ahead and did it. Got a huge Douglas Fir from a fire dept tree sale. It's gorgeous and full. Ellis wanted a BIG one, and we got a big one. His grin shines brightly in the dim light of streetlights illuminating the early darkened December evening.

I know I've already shared on Facebook the magnum opus that is the Halloween costumes that I made, but I need to plunk it down here for blog posterity.

It's been busy around here.

Last week, I finally got the GRE off my plate. Phew!

We got haircuts.

Enjoying crepes. M calls them Pancakes.
