Christmas Gift

This is what my husband gave me for Christmas. If you are really nice I will share it with you.

Do you feel the love?

He couldn't wait for me to open it.

Mikkena's to do list

Mikkena woke up this morning with a long list of what she wanted to do today. I am not sure why, but folding laundry and cleaning out the pencil/pen drawer were top on the list.

I am having a hard time getting my to do lists started. I guess she is just trying to get me motivated. Maybe I should send her to the store to get our Christmas shopping done.

Art

I love this picture that Mikkena made for me.

There is something about child artwork that makes me smile.

My favorite Anniversary card

I found this card for Tim a few years ago. I just love it.

When I found it our anniversary was 11 months away, but I just had to buy it.

I have it posted by my desk.

Still funny after all those years.

Eatting while Hungry

Its 10:45pm and we just just got home from Cub. Its been a long day and I guess I didn't feed myself very well. You know what they say about shopping while your hungry. Well, I really didn't buy too much junk food. My problem...... I lost my self control once I got home.
I ate 8 pieces of honey ham, 1/4 jar of Zinger sweet & hot pickles and part of a M&M cookie. Can you say stomach ache!!

I put away everything that needs to be in the fridge or freezer; the rest can wait until the morning. I am going to bed. What kinda of dreams to you get from ham, pickles and m&m cookies. Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Winter

I am not a huge fan of Winter, but these are my favorite kind of mornings.

Years ago one of the children wondered how glitter got sprinkled over everything. (Kelli was right- you need to right these things down. You think you will remember who said it and how, but that's not how it works.).

Christmas hair

Here is the Christmas hair-do.

The green looks better in real life.

The colors aren't as bright as usual because we didn't re-bleach it.

bears, beets....

My husband

Tim wanted me to blog tonight. This is what he wanted me to say:



Bears

Beets

Battlestar Galactica

Looking to borrow a book.

If you give your teenager too much space your ignoring her.
If you try to interact with her she says your bugging her and tells you to go away.

Does anyone have an extra Teenage How To Manual ? I seem to have misplaced mine.

A Few Thoughts

1. Most of my Christmas decorations have glue holding them together. I can't tell you how many heads I have glued back on just this last week. Those poor wise men just don't have strong necks.

2. If you want to know when we are getting a lot of snow (You know- enough to have to plow the driveway) just call and ask if my husband is out of town. If he is gone, then Yes we are getting lots.

3. When I plow the driveway it doesn't look anything like it does when Tim does it. I am sure he will laugh when he sees it. It's way harder to plow than I thought it would be. (It was kind of fun though- but I was a little nervous that I would break his 4-wheeler )

4. I can think of lots of things to blog about, until my fingers are touching the keyboard.
